Hi guys
This was one of my first rings I found a while back in July @ Berrow Beach I think its brass/bronze heavy for its size and very chunky!!

Wow that's a man sized ring, are you sure it's not gold? brass or Bronze is unusual on more modern rings because of turning your skin green. Interesting I'll see if I can find anything similar for you.
Hi Chef Not sure I will have to dig it out of my finds tray and bring it to next meeting on 10th. This was my first ring I found ever and it was my missus that dug it for me  Grin
