Hello all...
I am not going to bore you with a long story, if you have been following my recent posts you know were I have been detecting and the finds that have come from this area
I started the evening recovering my digging spade that I left here Sunday, it was lying right were I had left it
managed a couple of Medieval spindle whorls and a few bits of lead, then another Medieval hammered coin of Elizabeth1 (1558-1603) half groat.
Later on in the evening I moved further down the road to a area that has produced Roman coins, again I had a further four bronze coins but the going was hard.
The area was becoming shorter by the minute so I moved to the slopes of the spoil heaps and this is were I found my best find, a nice crisp signal and I was flipping over the sandy soil, at first I couldn't see what had given the signal, then I glanced a glint of yellow in a small piece of soil, I picked it up and right in-front of me was a small Gold Ring
the colour gave it away as old, a deep buttery yellow Gold.
The ring is very small (13mm) and obviously made for a child, I am 99% certain that this ring is Roman
and was probably made specially for the wearer.
This ring unfortunately falls under the treasure act and I will have to declare it
any way have a look at the pictures if there are any questions I will try and answer 
SS...Updated... It's now two weeks since I found the ring, and I have just had the ID back by the UK Finds Data Base here's what it says, A Roman Gold finger ring 1st-4th Century, the shank has a broad,flat cross-section that tapers from the front to back. At the front there is an oval bezel made from reposse worked sheet-metal; it depicts a full-faced portraite in releif, surrounded by a raised border. The depiction is unknown, though the subject is almost certainly classical

Would be safe to guess more Banner finds will be unearthed 
IS...the name can be prononced Dere, or Deere, it's name corresponds with the post Roman Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Deira. I also would like to thank everybody who voted for the Banner slot, I have been very lucky to have been up there seven times now
