🥇 BANNER Medieval GOLD finger ring .

[oldsoapy]

Found on my new permission of 800 acres . on the last remaining stubble of the year - l was just thinking that the field l was on was a bit of a washout, and the very next signal at only six inches deep and remarkably in perfect condition for something that fragile and around 600 years old..
Shining in the sunlight. A beutiful gold finger ring .... Hutch.

Congratulations on a stunning ring find, the Banner is secondary IMHO but well deserved!!

It would be intriguing to know who owned/wore that ring, I would think it would be someone of nobility!

Bquamb. You are right there are no markings on the ring at all and the shank is round in profile but the experts have many clues as to its date such as just the style and also how the blue stone is mounted and the style of cut of the ( Sapphire ? ) which is the basic early style of cabochon, as they didn't have the cutting of stones as they do today . Hopefully the British Museum in London will give us (eventually) the full ID and date. Hutch.

Wow, great find! Love it, what kind of stone is that? And it's awesome how they record your finds and hand it back to you, here in the US they just wanna take it, or not let you hunt...

Thanks for your comment , overall our system for treasure is not too bad as you say , either its handed back if disclaimed or a reward is paid (shared between the finder and the land owner) The blue stone is most likely to be a Sapphire. Hutch.

That is an outstanding find.
I love the fact that gold can lay there for 1000 years and come out looking like it was dropped yesterday.

Congrats on the find of a lifetime.

It is amazing how something like that survived so long just waiting on a new owner. The shape and style of that ring you can be sure it will not be lost again and your name is certainly now added to the history of that ring.

I normally sell everything I find but I would be hard pressed to settle on a price for that.

Congrats, I am happy for you. It is always better to hear it directly from the person who found instead of reading on some card whilst its on display. Either way, if its on a card or cataloged in a book, your name is sure to follow, and that will be there forever.

So cool.
