FINGER RING
Unique ID: ESS-9AEB6C
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Gold finger-ring with a D shaped hollow hoop. The interior is damaged which allows one to see the construction.
The ring is otherwise completely plane and without any features that would enable one to date it, so it remains undiagnostic.
Notes:
Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1715 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
Subsequent actions
Current location of find: CIMS
