lord of the rings

[vercingetorix]

hello all !

Went out yesterday for a few hours and found a silver ring that must date from the 6th - 7th C according to the coins and artifacts I found with . I can't read the small inscriptions on it . I'm going to go to a good jeweller so he can untwist it ...and maybe that fit me ...

Thanks for looking

Looks like Viking Runes, maybe earlier the you think. How do you smash a silver ring into pieces? Accidentally drop a hammer on it? Nice find anyway and HH, Mike

 

[vercingetorix]

well ... really I dont know I think she tried to untwist it with her fingers ( how stupid she may be !!! )and the ring literally fell into pieces .That's unbelievable , I had never seen that before;

I wonder if it was White Metal or Very old lead, or silver that it crumbled.

It's definately a shame, as it is a Nice find.

Don't be too hard on her though. I'm sure most of us have destroyed something we found, while trying to Fix it just a Little bit better

Can it be Glued together with Crazy Glue & placed in a Display ?

It still would make a Nice Show piece in my opinion.
Druid Pops into my Head for some reason. not that I know.
