A woman has been left "gobsmacked" after finding a sapphire ring belonging to her late mum wrapped inside a Sainsbury's bag and several old socks.
Margaret Hood had an unknown treasure trove of jewellery hidden away at her home which nobody knew existed. That was until she died last October aged 90 when family members clearing out her house in Littleover, Derby were stunned to discover a lifetime of possessions squirrelled away all over the property.
As reported by the Mirror, the precious sapphire ring was tightly wrapped up in a Sainsbury's supermarket carrier bag, swathed in socks and left hanging on a porch hook by the door. And they went on to find a cache of jewellery so valuable it has now been dubbed ‘The Littleover Hoard’ as they searched the house further.
