1500 AD-1700 AD post medieval ring found this morning

[onlinesniper]

Hi all at TNET, well the weather was horrible raining all morning buti threw on me waterproofs and headed off with my trusty garrett ace 250 and spade and trowel and got a few hours of hunting in.<br><br>Firstly i found a threepenny 1943 followed shortly after with another threepenny which takes my count to 39 of these lol off the same field!! then i found a few modern coins 2 pound coins a twenty pence and a couple of new pennys, i changed my line and dont know why i did it but anyway i headed towards this tree overhanging on the field and picked up a coin/pulltab signal at over 6" id had a few of these within the hour before diggin can after shredded can but thought 'well you never know' and began to dig, as i got to the 7" depth i could see what looked like the back end of a bottle top, dismayed i pulled it out and then pushed the dirt away then the realization hit me that it wasnt a bottle top but in fact a ring ecstatic i carried on for another hour and found an edward 1902 penny in good condition so called it a day as the rain started to come down

Heres a couple of shots of the ring next to an edward 1902 penny

Very cool find! Have you been able to tell what is on the signet? Nice to see an ACE 250 pulling up some cool old finds like that. Gives me hope!

THX Talon, no not yet looks like a cross within a cross but if you check out the link below hopefully when it has been evaluated we will know more but il keep looking.

Cheers Lbcwanabe i think its lead alloy or pewter but not 100 percent sure.

 

[Lbcwanabe]

Awesome find, wish we had that kind of history here in the states.

 

[Cool Hand Fluke]

This is kind of find that makes me wonder who was the person who wore it possibly as far back as 500 years ago!? Very nice find. ..Cheers from northern California!

 

[CRUSADER]

Looks 17th C to me, nice find, in pretty good nick, & very hard to find this age item on grass.
