Two weeks into a new season and I just might have found my best ever find :icon_sunny: the day started off with a phone call from my detecting partner Michael, he could not make it due to a family illness we were due to go to our usual haunt in North Yorkshire :-\

Any way I decided to go to a farm that is just 14 miles from were I live and were I have had some nice hammered, most of the land was still under crop but a small section of barley and rape seed stubble were detectable :thumbsup:

After three hours of scrap lead the odd button and shot gun catridges I moved to a ridge just above the flood plain of the river the area was very quiet , on my second run down I received a sweet two way signal in the cordless phones looking down I immediately recognized what had gave the signal, the colour GOLD with a small blackish stone right in the middle staring straight back at me :o :o :o

It was a Medieval GOLD Stirrup Ring from about the 13th-14th Century in perfect condition. I think the stone might be a small blue or black Saphire. :o :o

The Gold wedding band I found last week turned out to be the farmers were we were detecting he had lost it just two weeks after he had been married back in 1991 I am returning the ring to him tommorrow. :o :o TK.

I have stared at that photo of the ring in that field many times. That is one of the most incredible photos I have ever seen on this forum.

That find is what dreams are made of.

I can't believe I missed this!

that is just spectacular! It looks as if it was just waiting for you to show up. Beautiful ring.

I bet the landowner is glad to get his own ring back, too (you both benefit!).

Lovely find!
