A gold finger ring with raised bezel and red stone. Two hands are clasping the bezel. There are no distinguishing features which allow this finger ring to be securely dated pre-1704.
Notes:
This find was originally reported as potential Treasure, under the Treasure Act. But was later found to be pre-1704 in date and therefore not treasure. The find has since been returned to the finder.
