That really is a very beautiful ring. Surprised they classed it as treasure though.
Hope you get more than a couple of hundred quid to split with the landowner! 8-| ;f

Its only classed as Treasure if a museum wants to acquire it, otherwise you get it back

It has already been established that the museum DOES want to acquire it. That is what the OP said at the start of the thread in case you missed it.
