Title: A ring from the lost ring field Post by: Chef Geoff on August 21, 2011, 07:02:52 PM But it's not the right one :'( ;D ;D ;D
Still the upside is I don't have to give it back ;) So after being badly let down with work and my cover calling in sick, I had to work the only two bleedin days I wanted off this year Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr >:( Which meant I had to escape after work to get a fix :) Well it was worth it and after saying last week that my favourite coin was a French Jetton up popped another, 14thC luvely. Next was the remains of a folding Roman toiletry set, this is the first personal item outside brooches off this site so well pleased. Then came the broken neck of a pewter flask (possibly powder) and at hell of a depth a piece of bronze pot, I don't usually bother posting bits of pot but this has the mounting holes for the handles so a first for me. Then came the ring, a man's signet ring and as it says "9ct on silver" which I would think means it's no more than 30 odd years old, still a rings a ring and my 5th this year all from inland.
