Hello my friends...

10/10/2010 Sunday I went with a friend in the neighboring county to about 55 km from me in a location where we've found a few days before the traces of ancient battles fought in medieval times but also high cliffs around lies a pasture where we've found arrows and spears, but also ancient and medieval brooches, pieces of armor of all time...Has appeared a signal on the screen nonferrous metal currency possible gold in Garrett 2500 GTI and depth of 6 inches but I have no hope of digging thought something...I thought it happens every time to find a beer bottle cap and when I saw the side of a glittering ring ... I could not believe I found a gold ring with carnelian seal Roman intaglio engraving that was a scene in depth the battle between mythological characters Hercules and Anteu...

:wav:

It was in perfect condition as if someone placed it there in the ground a few minutes in front of me... :icon_king:
In Romania never found something like that and I still do not believe it 3 days after the discovery... :occasion15:
Before I give the ring specialists took photos that we show with you... :hello2: :hello:

:blob3: :occasion14:

That is absolutely stunning! If I were a rich man I'd offer to buy it right now. Incredible! The banner was obvious. Heck, clearing the banner for just pics of your ring for a bit would be justified. No offense to the other great finds, but that ring is so beautiful it deserves something special.

Can the scene depicted tell us who the ring belonged to? Were they unique the wearer, and was there any historical record kept?

Amazing!

Thanks !

I think that the ring belonged to a senior official may roman senator or legion commander... :icon_scratch:
 

Absolutely amazing! The find of a lifetime in my opinion.
 

Can you imaging the finger that this ring came off of.
Unbelievable Find Gary

Who you trying to dupe with that clear fake????
















Just pulling everyones chain.... That is probably THE coolest thing I have ever seen in treasure hunting in the dirt..... What you gonna do with it??

The law says that within 72 hours of discovery to teach what you have found the town where it was found...From there, the archaeologists have to reach within 10 days of teaching...Of course I taught the subject as the law says
