Would like to know what i found lately.
I,m aware that the Celt,s were noth in your country, but perhaps there,s someone amoung us that,s familiar with that history.
Found this bras ring and some people over here tell me that it,s probebly a currentsy off the old Celt people.
The ring weight,s 38,5 gram.

If Celtic its most likely Bronze not Brass. It does have the right thickness & shape of 'Ring' Money circa 200BC. Normally Gold or Gold plated although Bronze ones have been recorded. Need a hands on expert to sort this one out, as I'm only 50/50 with my ID :dontknow: (seems quite big & heavy for the ones I remember)

I was wondering if it could be a end terminal, of a Bronze Torc :dontknow: it could have been Gold dipped once :dontknow: did you say it had engraving :icon_scratch: this would strengthen the Torc idea :read2:
