A solid gold bishop's ring which could date back to the reign of Henry Vlll or earlier has been discovered on the Isle of Sheppey.
It was unearthed by Ashley Solly yesterday during a day out with the Medway History Finders.
More than 70 metal detectorists descended on the Island as part of an official hunt for lost treasure.

Lovely.
Reminds me of my first "Treasure" find, but better.
