Hi guys and gals, I thought id share this with you.!
I actualy found it in February in the same field as my Gold hammered coin and put it in my finds box as a BRONZE ring.!
Took it to the National Museum of Wales on wednesday for recording and they have identified it as : A SILVER pennanular finger ring of 2nd century AD with snake head terminals
To say I was surprised is an understatement, I could have sworn it was bronze!
Anyway it now has to go through "The treasure act" sounds exciting but its a long process of drawn out paperwork and politics.
I should know in about a year whats going to happen to it!
I hope you enjoy looking.
Colin
He who laughs last...........................Didnt get it first!!
wow -- must be a nice crust of something over the silver then eh? --really neat find -- older than my oldest ring by (getting out calculator) umm well at least four digits -- congrats!!
I hope you get possession of it.....It is a beauty.....I like the way antiquities are handled over there. At least I think they try to be fair on finds..
Please look at my museum website..... louisianahistorymuseum.org

Nice find Colin. You have to be excited finding anything Roman.
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

And the rest. Takes forever, although I believe they have speed it up abit due to the high volume of complains. Its only fair that they stick to the 1 year guideline. Seeing as we have to declare within 14 days. Guess you got court out on that one :P
However to be fair, its from the time that you know its potential treasure & you thought it bronze
