I read this account with interest.

I thought that both the finder and the farmer were very lucky to have been award a sum of £10,000 each.

While being a beautiful find, this could have been anybodies ring from that era.

Happy Hunting,

Jerry.

Something like history hunter could be more suitable for today's world...

If their is a chance that it did indeed belong to the wives, I’d have not sold that for a pitiful 20k
