Modern and then old !!!

[robfinds]

Had a couple of hours late this afternoon, on a field about 15 miles from where I live. The field I searched was a very small grass paddock. It was typical for it's type, a few copper coins, mixed in with modern junk. To be honest nice just to be out detecting, we've had over a week of what seems like constant rain showers ( some very heavy ). As I say just digging the mundane, and then late on, a faint signal, produced this lovely gold ring. No hall mark, and looks very good gold, with an uncut blue stone. Looks to me to be old. Robert.

My first thought was Medieval, the look, size & gold all match. What throw my thinking was the grass paddock, it would have to have been ploughed or something else to explain it being in range. Possible....

Welp... Cruz... this is your "cup of tea" for sure...
This is your neck of the woods and your area of knowledge due to your "exposure" to such types of things.

I just read the books :P
Oh and the internet

Some serious looking into this piece should be in order IMO though.
I think he nailed it.
Somehow this little beauty has remained "intact" all these eons.
Such a small little piece surely could have "slipped through the cracks" so to speak.

My first thought was medieval stirrup ring too, but when you wrote 17th-18th C i thought, well, Cru knows this stuff better.

Its not the classic stirrup shape but very close, & like I say crossed my mind. Just can't think how it was in range.

Many thanks for your research AARC. A pleasing find then, the Deus certainly sniffs out the gold. Ironic really, the three recent gold finds, have come in what I consider the closed season. Once again many thanks, Robert.

Hello Cru, maybe some time the field was ploughed. Also the action of animals, wild and domestic, can move tons of soil over the years. Even the humble earth worm over centuries, will move some soil. Robert.

Congrats Rob! Nice ring! Lokks like it is your gold year!

Hello Westfront, hope you're keeping well. To put it in to perspective, a mate of mine last week found 4 gold staters and an hammered gold coin. Robert.
