Hello my friends...

10/10/2010 Sunday I went with a friend in the neighboring county to about 55 km from me in a location where we've found a few days before the traces of ancient battles fought in medieval times but also high cliffs around lies a pasture where we've found arrows and spears, but also ancient and medieval brooches, pieces of armor of all time...Has appeared a signal on the screen nonferrous metal currency possible gold in Garrett 2500 GTI and depth of 6 inches but I have no hope of digging thought something...I thought it happens every time to find a beer bottle cap and when I saw the side of a glittering ring ... I could not believe I found a gold ring with carnelian seal Roman intaglio engraving that was a scene in depth the battle between mythological characters Hercules and Anteu...

:wav:

It was in perfect condition as if someone placed it there in the ground a few minutes in front of me... :icon_king:
In Romania never found something like that and I still do not believe it 3 days after the discovery... :occasion15:
Before I give the ring specialists took photos that we show with you... :hello2: :hello:

:blob3: :occasion14:

Let me be the first to say this should be a Banner find, its amazing. Cru'dad found a Bronze version but gold :o :o :o

Do not ever think to find something important and it is very hard for me to believe that this has happened especially as the Crusader says it right ... Thanks very much Cru :wave:

No, finds of this Quality are out of the blue & really reminds us why we do this strange hobby :hello2:

That would be a £1000 (easy) Ring in the UK, its easy worthy of publishing in any book on Roman Antiquities :read2:

Hey Cru, did you forget a zero?? :laughing9: :wink:

Not really, its based on book price (I quickly scanned). Of course, with items like this, you could get a buyer at any price.
Gold Roman Rings have been valued as UK Treasure as little as £500, although in the 2003 Report there is a similar size ring at £2000 although its stones is not as nicely executed, so its got to be in the £5000 or more. But its a world market & you US guys with all the money would easy part with $10000 :icon_thumright:

Those are just the yuppy US guys ;D :wink: ALTHOUGH, I believe this ring is worth every bit that much..... That website you listed has a similar one only smaller with a different scene for over 8000 Euros.

Wow...what a piece of history. Who cares the about the value...if I found that my children would have to sell it after I died and they pryed it out of my cold dead hand...lol. That is truly amazing...Congrats on the find. The banner was obvious.

I can't wait to see what else comes out of the area. Can you post some of the other items?
