🥇 BANNER Another very quick hunt that produces a Byzantine red Rubin ring.

[vince76]

Hi guys
I was just passing by the area where I've found a lot of Byzantine stuff. I noticed someone was building a new road there. So I decided to stop and talk with the owner. It was very muddy on the surroundings so I could check only the soil on both sides of the road. The soil on both sides of the new road was very rich with pottery pieces.
A lot of small and big nails came out.
While the surface of the new road was 50 cm deep and untouched soil I was not expecting to find anything so I was looking only the sides of it. But the unexpected happened. Right on that clean surface I dug this beautiful ring. I'm sure it felt from the side of the road because of the heavy rains.
Silver and Red Ambra. That was a great find for a quick hunt.


After a quick clean while driving


And after cleaning it at home

Are you sure its not Carnelian?

Well, I'm not sure. I did have time only to clean it. I have to ask someone for it.

That's a really cool design. Very nice find!

Ups, I thought I corrected the title. First I thought it was a Rubin but than I thought probably it was an Ambra Stone. So I corrected the title but it seems like something didn't work. Sorry for that.

As usual Vince, you have gone and found an awesome relic from the past. That is a really sweet ring.

Thanks for sharing, and good luck to you sir!

Thanks Tom. It was close to a big iron nail but still the x35/13" coil gave a very clear sound. Best luck to you too.

Wow! How old is that? I am thinking banner all day!

I'm not sure if someone can date it but based on the other finds on that area I can say it is at least from the 9th - 10th AD. All i know is that after the 10th century that area lost its importance and was almost abandoned.
Thanks for the vote buddy

I've had time to think this over.

As it's solid SILVER & has the stone complete, I've put my BANNER vote in.
