Colonial Gold Posey Ring

[gigmaster]

They say lightning does not strike you twice but it hit me again yesterday. Keith and I were digging in an area we had found numerous spectacle buckles, a Spanish cob and other colonial items when I hit another find of a lifetime! It is called a posey ring and was very popular in the colonial times. Usually given as a gift with an inscription (or short poem) written on the inside for the recipient. In this case the inscription says "MYNE EVER THINE". Bill Dancy let me know it is on page 216 in his book ""Discovering Virginia's Colonial Artifacts". Thanks Bill! I also found a trime, indian heads and other awesome relics. Who thinks I should have a professional jeweler straighten it? Here is a link to the video
