My precious roman gold carnelian seal intaglio...an amazing experience...

[yo6oej]

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...



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

Fantastic find. Congrats to you. It gives me hope that me and my Garrett GTI2500 will find something big some day soon!

GTI 2500 is a very good device.I wish you to find something special with him...

 

[yo6oej]

Why we metal detect. BIG Congrats!

Any idea what you will do? Sell, keep?

Of course, keep going STRONG at that site ... might be more (<smile> but do you really need more?)

[yo6oej]

The law requiring you to take him to officials within 72 hours...This I did in fact...

gives an idea of price

While somewhat similar in design, your ring has got to be 3x the weight and in much better condition than either of the rings pictured on the first page.

I would guess that ring could easily command a price in excess of $15,000 US Dollars.

Banner Undoubtedly!!!!!

Thanks

The Story...The Pictures....The Gold Ring......Fantastic....Banner......1000000%....Judging by the HUGE weight it must be solid Gold, I have seen them like that but Hollow Gold. With out doubt one of the finest things I have ever seen posted on here

The fact that you shared this Amazing experience with us....just let me say on a Personel level THANK YOU

SS

Wow

Being a Greco Roman wrestler myself, I have to say that this is the best find I have ever seen on this or any site. It is clearly two Greco Roman wrestlers on the seal. Could have been Pancration fighters except I don't see any wraps on the hands and arms. Best find ever!

Probably the best find I've ever seen on any metal-detecting forum, period.

If you cant keep the ring I would take one of the impressions and have something made from them. Good luck I would have a hard time giving it to someone. I guess thats why god let you find it and not me. Awsome ring.
