Keep The Faith !!!

Well Tuesday got the XP back from repair, only problem it still had had the fault on it (not very happy). Yesterday grabbed the old B3 and went out for a couple of hours with bro. Had a choice of one field only, everything else under crop. The field was only small, and hadn't produced much in the past. To be honest thought it would just be a matter of getting some fresh air and excercise. Then probably on only my third signal, after about 5 mins, I found this. From only a couple of inches, a find I have been after for many, many years. A 17th Century gold posey ring, these rings had secret inscriptions on the inside, messages of love or religion. This one is inscribed "Rather. dye . then . faith . denye ." maybe a Catholic's ring, they were persecuted for their religion at the time. The condition of the ring is amazing not a scratch and perfectly round. It looks to be of a very high carat gold. Enjoy the pictures.

Nice dig Rob. Ain't it great to dig a piece of history that you can accually connect to a fellow human. That "is" HISTORY.

Yeah but you can never expect such a rare find as this & you can only hope for it, so I guess thats a lot of hoping!

You proved why I stick at some of the least promising sites, especially this time of year when its worth the punt. I have found many times that the worst fields will bring up that odd very special find

That is a find of a lifetime....so beautiful. Congrats to you.

Mellow yellow That one is sure of high caratage + historic value. I just love inscriptions (usually very clumsy rhymes) on posey rings. I will vote a banner.

Killer find rob! Check that one off the list.. Its amazing how metal detecting surprises you when you least expect it. I was in a city lot two days ago digging nothing but trash but based on location decided to stick it out for a couple hours. Now I'm one reale richer Again congrats on a spectacular find.. U have my vote. Jeff
