Title: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 08:35:01 PM Below are the before and after pics of the ring I found at the Penmark rally. Just shows how cleaning improves the item and makes it more pleasing on the eye!

A nice buttery colour.

Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 08:54:07 PM ;)

Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: The Doc on September 05, 2011, 09:33:14 PM Have you really done that to it Bob? :'(
Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: nobby on September 05, 2011, 09:39:48 PM never mind, only another 2000 years to get back to as it was!! :o
Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 09:53:09 PM Have you really done that to it Bob? :'( Don't you think it looks a lot better? What would you rather eat: a stale pie or a fresh cooked one? ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: Pipster on September 05, 2011, 09:55:16 PM Ouch !! :o
Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 09:55:52 PM why dont you get the angle grinder on it ???...... ;D That's being silly, Nobby. It was nothing the dremel couldn't sort out without having to resport to heavy handed tatics! :D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 09:56:53 PM Ouch !! :o Oh, you are out there.................where you been? How the Deus fund looking ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: Meatslicer on September 05, 2011, 09:58:42 PM A gentle wash in soapy water would have been all I would have done to it.
If it had any value it has just depreciated to nothing. If the pie was a collectors item I would have wrapped it up in cotton wool and stored it where no lunatic dremmel drivers could get to it.

Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: nobby on September 05, 2011, 10:08:36 PM hmmm come on now Eric we know you......that pie wouldnt have reached its safe haven now would it ::)........lol ;D
Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 10:08:43 PM Everyone has a different opinion.
Personally, I think it looks better with 1700 years of crud removed by electrolysis. I'll certainly get more enjoyment from looking at it in it's present state than when it was found. (PS: Pies are best put in a plastic bag in the freezer, and consumed within 6 months) Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 10:09:43 PM I'm still thinking you're just winding us up here Bob ::) Peter, don't you know me by now?? ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 05, 2011, 10:10:26 PM hmmm come on now Eric we know you......that pie wouldnt have reached its safe haven now would it ::)........lol ;D PMSL !!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: mark74 on September 05, 2011, 10:28:18 PM Any Hallmarks.

What did you do :'( It was great as it was) IMHO :'( Shrunken torso gone to your head eh???? Why oh why oh why did you have the urge to do such a thing/???? Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: dances with badgers on September 06, 2011, 10:27:51 AM weldone bob ,you got something at last ;D and you managed to wind peeps up the same time lol
Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 06, 2011, 11:39:20 AM Oh Bob :-\ What did you do :'( It was great as it was) IMHO :'( Shrunken torso gone to your head eh???? Why oh why oh why did you have the urge to do such a thing/???? I love to act on my urges!!!!!!!!!!! ;) It's a lot nicer now with a lovely buttery copper colour. 1700 years of crud isn't attractive. I'll be leaving the denarius as it is, brown. It will shine up silver but the patina is attractive. :) Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 06, 2011, 11:40:55 AM weldone bob ,you got something at last ;D I'll be getting an Excalibur 11 to clean them beaches up before you do! ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: tyna on September 06, 2011, 11:58:56 AM Urges aside Bob - new ideas eh lean machine :D
Too thin now though I reckon - get some weight on your bones Bobby ;) Doc didn't mean it you know - you never were fat but just right ;) he was only playing with your psyche :) the pasties you gave him helped - I had some too!!! nice one Mrs Bobby ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: rjm on September 06, 2011, 01:34:01 PM Urges aside Bob - new ideas eh lean machine :D Too thin now though I reckon - get some weight on your bones Bobby ;) Doc didn't mean it you know - you never were fat but just right ;) he was only playing with your psyche :) the pasties you gave him helped - I had some too!!! nice one Mrs Bobby ;D You made me smile! :) I'm toying with the idea of getting an Excalibur to do underwater and beach detecting when I go on holidays. The finds should be even better and I'll get bothered less by people if I can get out wading. Not only that, but it'll be cooler detecting in the water. I used to do a lot of running (done the London 4 times) and piles of half marathons, etc. I'm getting back into it as the weight has a tendency to stay on more as you get older. Me and the Doc started teasing each other about weight. He was tucking into the pasties at our club Christmas party and was quite cuddly around the belly, shall we say? The all inclusive holidays don't help but I've started using the gym on them to burn off a few calories. Taff is looking well on his new regime. He's my inspiration! ;D Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: dances with badgers on September 06, 2011, 02:12:41 PM your cool enough bob lol

Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: Neil on September 06, 2011, 05:19:56 PM You are crazy Bob - I thought you were joking at first! :)
I think a bit of a light clean and some wax may have had a better result personally, but it is all down to the individual. I got a feeling if Potty Paul stumbles across this thread - you may well join the growing ranks of those DW members that have been "Barforded!" Cheers Neil Title: Re: Roman Ring - Before and after pics Post by: nomad on September 06, 2011, 05:25:53 PM mmmm.....im not liking the dremmel finish....but it would be nice to find any ring dremmeled or not...and as for pies welll......

Cheers Neil He's too busy chasing Avalon at the moment! ;D Nobody listens to him anymore. Even the archaeologists have had enough of his rantings. He's a figure of fun.
