A Post-Medieval gold posy ring, inscribed with In thee I find content of mind on the inside of the hoop, followed by a maker's mark, possibly RC.
The finger-ring measures 20.77mm in diameter (internal diameter 17.47mm) and weighs 5.51g. In cross-section, the hoop is basically D-shaped but with each internal edge bevelled. The outside of the hoop is convex.
The maker's mark is not identifiable and therefore there is not enough evidence to say that this finger-ring is over 300 years old. Thus it falls outside of the remit of the Treasure Act.
