Title: Re: ring for id with inscription Post by: Chef Geoff on March 07, 2015, 01:02:11 PM That is a brilliant find Muddy is it silver? it certainly has that Viking styling though it appears to be cast to look like two twisted rings as opposed to the original Norse version of two actual rings so an English version of the fashion, the script certainly seems to pin it to the 12th to 14th century. What part of the country was it found? Don't forget to post up your FLO's report when you get it as that's an exciting find ;)
