Your post doesn't make any sence, Rare ancient coins or CW atrifacts not rare Rare is Rare, as in not many found. Take the Anglo saxon pennies recently found by UK posters, if you look on the coin corpus and see how many have been found then they are extremly rare, now a $10,000 modern ring might be the score of a life time but in no terms rare. If I set myself a target of finding a $10,000 ring or a Coin of Offa, the ring would be favourite. Don't forget the $10,000 was just a tongue in cheek about how les hard it is to find a pricey ring from the beach, rather than finding a ancient coin or scarse CW artifact.I disagree, using your logic Rare Ancient Coin, or CW artifacts are not rare either, look at the museums they are full of them around the world, what is rare is finding them in the real world, just as it is rare to find a $10,000 diamond ring in the real world...
Rings and jewelry like those on banner belong on the banner just as much as ancient coins do.... Treasure doesn't mean rare, treasure is defined as "wealth or riches stored or accumulated, especially in the form of precious metals, money, jewels, or plate. often one which is considered lost or forgotten until being rediscovered."
I have beach hunted for 6 years, found 8 diamond rings, found 4 more diamond earrings, and still havent found close to a $10,000 diamond ring, I know at least 10 other hunters personally and none of them have found a $10,000 diamond ring and i bet the combined total time detecting for the 10 or 11 of us is well over 50 years and still no $10,000 ring......
$10,000 diamond rings found on the beach are rare.............
