6 Bonus Fields - The Return - Day 2 - 4 Hammered & GOLD POSY RING ! ! !

[CRUSADER]

Nice cool day to grid the field for 5.5 hours.
Only a couple of days ago a detecting contact shared with me by email a silver gilt posy ring. I congratulated him on a rare find & stated I had only ever had 1 gold version & you could detect another 20 years & not get another one! I hope he keeps sharing his good finds & whispers up some more goodies for me.

The ring is super stellar... BUT...

I am really loving that skull and cross bones button. (I am assuming its a button... and wonder what from)

All the other finds aren't too shabby either.

Well done Cruz.

Just a stellar find with the posy ring...one wonders how it ended up lost...
The WW1 button death or glory is quite a find...nice hammered....what can I say?

 

[Aureus]

That's a pretty rare and valuable find,extremely high on my list. Congratulations and Banner!

Lots of great relics. I always like seeing what y'all find there in England.

 

[Gene Mean]

What a great gold find! Nice patina on everything else but the gold is just beautiful.

You simply a stellar day in the fields yo did-Congrats on the beautiful Posy ring what a great find. Even without the treasure it would have been hunt to a few with a good helping of silvers and relics. Liking the Death and Glory button, seen a few over the years posted but a rare find.

Steller hunt! Have to say the posy ring is a banner find. It belongs up top IMO vote is in

Just checked the collection & I only have 1 coat button & this is its matching cuff button.We have only had these, so I would say rare as well.

Cheers. The last one (& only other) was before I joined Tnet in 2007 & I think it was before we kept detailed records, so I can only guess it was at least 15 years ago! (or another way of looking at it, 30+ man years ago!)

 

[CRUSADER]

I don't really pay much attention to 'likes' & I've only just realised I've past 30,000. CHEERS EVERYONE.

Congrats on the great finds! You said that the ring will have to go through "the process." Does that mean that it gets documented, and then you get it back? And, what is the trigger for something to be "treasure?" Everything you post looks like treasure!
