Ornate 'mourning ring' found buried in Wales: 17th century treasure is engraved with the words 'prepared bee to follow me' | Daily Mail Online

Have to admire the honesty of this guy for handing this in!!:

UK Treasure Trove laws decided it belonged to the Crown, but the finder STILL gets a percentage!

Uncle Sam take note !

An elaborate 300-year-old ring, discovered in mud in a maize field, has been officially classified as treasure.

And if he had found it in a jewelry box in his grandmas attic would they still declare it treasure trove

It's only an old ring with no historical significance for havens sake, they declare everything they want to steal as treasure trove!!!
