This is my best find so far and one I might have trouble beating

I found it recently at my Abbey site, but it's been away being researched for a while so I couldn't post!

It was just sitting on the top in a clump of mud and gave a signal I would have ignored as iron if I hadn't seen it :o

At first I thought it was just a modern wedding band with an inscription, but after looking at the style of writing and the
spelling I wanted to give Crusader a call before I scrapped it

He told me it definately needed looking at as it could be very early

Research shows it is a 23 or 24 carat gold Poesy ring weighing 9.6 grammes, made between 1710 and 1750

Inscription reads: God hath made thee my choyce, in him and thee i doe rejoyce.

A little late but was busy and did not connect so far ..... congratulations on the ring and Banner!
 

Wow Shaun - that's a beauty, well done mate :hello2:
 

you were thinking of scrapping it out for the gold?
i should think that would bring a pretty penny on ebay.
very very nice.

Yes, this was a great find Shaun. So now you understand sometime times or like I do, all of the time, dig everything. Or at least most everything. You have learned your lesson, now go back to all those other fields and listen again when the fields become free again. Again congrad!

Thanks Woody :icon_thumleft:
 

That's one awesome wedding band and way to research it before scrapping it.
I think I would have did the same, seems like it could be worth more than scrap prices.
