13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring Updated. (Inquest Update.)..Outcome.

[Silver Searcher]

Two weeks into a new season and I just might have found my best ever find 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

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

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.

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. TK.

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,

Hi.....thanks for the comments, originally these rings were made for Bishops from the thirteen century that would be from the reign of King John 1199-1216, later on they became more dispersed, to people that could afford Gold rings even children would were them.

Re: 13th-14th Century GOLD Stirrup Ring

That's old. I'm investigating an area that had farms and a church from the 1700's near my home. That's about as old as I can hope for. Congratulations on the banner, you very much deserve it! We all applaud you!!
