A complete base silver Finger Ring of late Post-Medieval to Modern date (AD 1750-1900). The object is composed of a circular band with a shallow D shaped section. Both the inner and outer band are plain and undecorated. No butt join is visible. Diameter: 22.95mm, Thickness: 1.69mm, Weight: 5.5g The metal has areas of green copper corrosion. It is not possible to date the object as being prior to 1722, due to a lack of diagnostic features, and therefore it does not constitute Treasure.

A post medieval white metal finger ring with "posy" inscription. The finger ring does not appear to be definitively silver and may well be a compound but it could still have a high base silver content. The ring is D-shaped in cross-section with a convex outer face. The inner face exhibits the inscription "CHOS NOT TO CHANG" in Roman capitals. There appear to be traces of gilding remaining on the interior. The diameter is 22mm and the weight 3.49g. In general Roman capitals began to be used for inscriptions on posy rings from the mid 16th century and were replaced by Italics by th…
