hi people thanks, the vking/saxons where around 6th century to 10th century so around 1400 to 1000 years ago. the type of ring has been found before and has been record as a saxon/viking style which mainly made of copper/bronze but a few like mine was made of silver! which isnt common :icon_thumleft:

Congrats for finding such a rare ring! It's nearly impossible to get a ring undamaged on ploughed land! :icon_thumleft:

Well, get a good long look at it, 'cause it'll be in analysis and review for about a yea. Maybe you'll get it back, maybe you'll get a few bob for it........
Personally, I'd rather have the ring.
