Two weeks into a new season and I just might have found my best ever find :icon_sunny: the day started off with a phone call from my detecting partner Michael, he could not make it due to a family illness we were due to go to our usual haunt in North Yorkshire :-\

Any way I decided to go to a farm that is just 14 miles from were I live and were I have had some nice hammered, most of the land was still under crop but a small section of barley and rape seed stubble were detectable :thumbsup:

After three hours of scrap lead the odd button and shot gun catridges I moved to a ridge just above the flood plain of the river the area was very quiet , on my second run down I received a sweet two way signal in the cordless phones looking down I immediately recognized what had gave the signal, the colour GOLD with a small blackish stone right in the middle staring straight back at me :o :o :o

It was a Medieval GOLD Stirrup Ring from about the 13th-14th Century in perfect condition. I think the stone might be a small blue or black Saphire. :o :o

The Gold wedding band I found last week turned out to be the farmers were we were detecting he had lost it just two weeks after he had been married back in 1991 I am returning the ring to him tommorrow. :o :o TK.

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

That is a STUNNING find! Congratulations!!
Truly should be a BANNER find!!! :thumbsup:
 

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

An average bloke would not have had a ring like that, would they? That had to have belonged to some type of rich or important person of the time. Could you speculate? I'm just blown away by that ring, that is so awesome!! Was that like pre King James time? I'm skinning my ignorance, somebody jump in here.

Beautiful,

When I looked at your post on monday I knew it would make the banner by tuesday.
Very nice find and a quick banner placement was deserved.

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

First, I would like to say Congratulations on your Banner find..

Second, I would like to say your post of that day's experiences and events is just about the best story of a day in a Metal Detector's life that I ever read, from the change of plans to finding true gold treasure (half out of the ground, no less!) to the return of a precious memory to another...... Can't beat that kind of day....May you have many more.
 

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

700 yr old ring thats awesome
 

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

The stirrup ring is very pretty, TK.

and double bonus you were able to find a ring lost by the farmer who allows you to search his land!

That's GREAT!

Best,

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

So perfect... what a find. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

the banner says it all wow!

I also want to say what a great story about the farmer. You know the conversation to his wife went something like this "see honey I told you I didn't loose it, I just misplaced it and that it would turn up" which probably ended with a skillet to the head.

See what Karma got you , you return a ring lost a few years ago and end up with one from hundreds of years ago.
