…I dug up what you see.
Using the Anderson
rod to guide my Detech EDS metal detector, I was delighted to find this third
or fourth century gold Roman child’s finger ring. The engraving on the bezel is
of a palm leaf or branch, having the possible intention of protecting the
wearer from disease. These rings are said to be rare in Britain but common in the eastern Roman Empire .
The bottom of the hoop has been flattened and this is so
regularly executed that I believe this wasn’t accidental. As the child grew up,
they would be unable to wear the ring on a finger and I wonder if it was
flattened to wear, or possibly as a result of wearing, on a wrist strap. Under
the British Treasure Act I have reported the find to the coroner and Finds
Liaison Officer and we’ll see what comments the experts have.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope you make some
great finds in 2015.
