Hi, found this large, solid and heavy bronze/brass ring on an arable field in Hertfordshire a number of years ago.
Other finds on the field go back to Roman and Celtic times.
Would be grateful for any thoughts.
Many thanks
Mike

A similar thing happened to me a few years ago. It turned out that what I thought was a forged Edward the Confessor penny was genuine and had been turned into a brooch in antiquity! Result
