🥇 BANNER Rt Hon Sir John Blaquiere 1st Baron de Blaquiere. wax seal or signet gold ring found

[Eagle 1]

The last 2 days has been great for me. I hit a hole that just keeps on giving. The first day was 2 gold rings 2 - 14k. Day 2 was 4 rings 2 - 14k, 1 - 10k, and 1 - 18k. The lighter is very old also. 1 buff & 1 Murc. But my best fine of the day was that 18k a whopping 14.6g. It is from the 1700's to 1800's The Rt Hon Sir John Blaquiere 1st Baron de Blaquiere. wax seal or signet gold ring was found in Maine on a beach deep in the mud. Lord Belmont In Northern Ireland: 1st Baron de Blaquiere Take a look at WOW. Thanks George79 for your info. He was : The Rt Hon Sir John Blaquiere Bt KCB, 1st Baron de Blaquiere. His first name changed when he became a Baron Lord de Blaquiere. It looks like that he gave this ring to his son the 5th or the 6th William de Blaquiere. WOW I am the proud owner of a very historical ring. I have put it in a bank safe for safe keeping. This may be very valuable. The seal has "Tiens A La Verite" and wheat stalks I think. This is the best find I have ever found of historical scale. This beats out my find of my GW button last year. Only because I could find another one. But I will never find a ring like this a gain it is one of a kind. The makers mark is JW also 18 with no K that should help to date it. It reads on the inside : W. de B. from the Rt Honble - Lord de blaquiere. I hope I will find out more. Here is my photo's

Now thats a great find, looking at the history of the person, it makes me wonder how it got the wrong side of the pond? Any ideas?

That is an awesome ring! Very historic, it does make you wonder how it got over here & the story behind it... 5 gold rings in 2 days? Wow.

Not sure if you're planning on tracking down the family and letting them know what you've found, but that in and of itself would be an amazing journey. Beautiful ring and Banner Worthy!

An amazing and Banner worthy find to be sure ! What is the weight of the ring ?- I'm guessing close to 20 grams .

( Apologies , I just went back and re- read your post , noticed the weight of 14.6 grams )

Incredible!

 

[farmdump]

Wow! this a amazing find! I am located in Maine as well and could never find something as so historical such as this! It would be really cool if it were from the 1700s and fell of one of the European explorers that traveled the Maine coast hundreds of years ago. Was this found down in Southern Maine?

Reading this post just launched me into a huge read on my family's genealogy (the research of someone else basically) to see if I'm related somehow to this guy... lol (and nope.) Cool find!

 

[mariposagold]

Astonishing find. How can you top something like that? Even still, How do you come down from the high of finding something like that? I think it would take me a month just to get my feet back on the ground. Wow. Congratulations and a remarkable historical find.
