Latest find a bit unusual to say the least. When I dug it up it was as black as a blue lagoons arsehole and covered in shite, so after a painstaking bulling up it has turned out to be a 13/14th century medieval silver finger ring of the most unusual shape. Beautiful craftsmanship of filligree silver wirework and silver knops which is so typical. of that period.
Could have belonged to a knight of old or possibly have some religious pedigree. My own thoughts are that because of the obvious phallic design,could this be a possible medieval "clit tickler",after all, those knights were allus riding around the country rescuing tash. Meks ya think dunnit?
That must have been a orgasmic find Dave.
Looks like one of them rings that they used to carry poison in?

Nice find Dave, do you know what the inscription on the bottom, pic 3 is?
I tried to make sense of it by looking at it with a mirror..nearly snapped me tooting beck!
Dave, it could be nostradamus's ring. Each of them noble's has to be turned in opposing direction's, but they have to be in the right sinc. So you could go back in time and find it all over again and again and a gain. Then I would be posting this post again........ok forget it.

To be honest Griff I can,t make out any inscription,but certainly beautiful craftsmanship and deffo not made in a sweatshop somewhere in the far east.
Meks ya wonder who it belonged to dunnit John?
Dave that's the beauty of it mate, researching as to who owned it and what it's use might have been ! You will always have people who say, what do you want to bother with that old thing for, but those same people have no interest in any bloody thing so there opinions mean bugger all ! Keep going mate, and good hunting !
There are so many ideas Ian of what it could have been used for. Maybe it was owned by some flash medieval geezer who just wanted to stand out in the crowd or the court musician who was the Liberace of the day.
Perhaps a tailor used it to press his needles through thick cloth, what you could do Dave is send a photo to old Tim Wankalot of Bargain Hunt and ask him what he reckons it might be.
No Bob,I keep away from the so called experts these days,had some bad experiences with them in the past,and if The British Museum got their bread hooks on it they,d want to keep it for the price of a bag o balloons. Typical situation where Joe Bloggs does all the donkey work and Mr. & Mrs. Shiny arse take all the credit. F.ck em!
