The treasure of a ‘traitor’: Amateur metal detectorist unearths 350-year-old ring

[OtakuDude]

An immaculately preserved gold ring from the 17th century has been found by an amateur metal detectorist in Scotland.

The signet ring is in perfect condition and is believed to be worth up to £10,000 and previously belonged to a King's courtier who was wrongly executed for treason.

It belonged to Edward Colman, who worked for King Charles II before being hung, drawn and quartered in 1678.

Thanks! Photo-rich article, and educational, too...!
Wasn't the school teacher's first gold, she found a gold coin previously...!

hung, drawn and quartered ... I'd prefer it be done in that order as well.

She found it and should be paid ‘Fair Market Value’, not some reward a committee thinks appropriate.

Not doing so will discourage others from handing over their finds.
