I recently came across this article whilst surfing the net. The guy who found it is called Clive and I have asked his permission to show a picture of the ring. Upon his reply I'll post the image on here. However for now here is the story. Enjoy!!!
A 3,000-YEAR-OLD gold ring found in Buntingford has been declared as treasure.
The penannular ring from the Bronze Age has been dated by an expert as being from between 1150BC and 750BC.
Hertfordshire coroner Edward Thomas ruled on Wednesday that a panel will decide on its value and any reward for its finder.
The ring, weighing two-fifths of an ounce (12.7g) features stripes in two tones of gold on a base of copper alloy and is about one inch (2.5cm) in diameter.
Stop Press: I have now received permission from Clive to show the ring
