Title: Roman Ring Post by: celticspikey on November 21, 2015, 08:41:50 AM Hi guys, well after one day of getting soaked and another of getting blown of my feet, yesterday was a day of chilling westerly winds. I only had a couple of hours detecting but managed to pull up this nice bronze roman ring, I'm sure it would have looked the business in its day mind you after over 1500 years in the soil it still looks good. ;)

Thanks Val, I thought it was a carved but it looks like it's tiny pieces of glass individually set? Title: Re: Roman Ring Post by: celticspikey on November 21, 2015, 06:26:43 PM What a beauty!

Title: Re: Roman Ring Post by: Resurgam on November 22, 2015, 04:42:12 AM A superb find there young man. After braving that bone chilling wind in open country, you deserve it.
As for the stone; I got to wondering if it had been shattered by an impact, but the the pieces have been held in place by the ring it's self?
