That's a super find, one any detectorist would be proud to find. Thanks for the link.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Re: bronze age gold ring find
I have got permission on this same farm, I spent a week up there a few summers back and I found only Victorian coins on the pasture, but the farmer told me about the stone altar in Carlisle museum He also told me about a detectorist searching the same spot for days on end on the ploughed land over the road, so he approached him and asked what he was searching for? it turned out he had found half of a coin die and was searching for the other half

There is a lot of guess work involved with archaeology and no-one really knows what these things were used for.AXE HEAD wrote:I always thought these were called Ring Money?.

AH, not "ring money" but pennanular ring, I remember my good friend the late David Williams saying that the most probable thought was that they were worn in the hair...
