Treasure find- 2007-T156. The British Museum curator report- 'Small gold finger ring, slightly out of shape. Foliate design on the external surface and inscribed inside + DON + DAMI, followed by a sprig. Very slight traces of black enamel are visible on both the inner and outer faces.'

Gold mourning ring dating to 1679. The inside band is inscribed 'Mrs Sarah Doding died 26th Nov 79'. The outside of the band is decorated with engraved designs of a poppy, a rose and a thistle with a black background (in enamel). The bezel consists of a skull and crossbones picked out in white enamel. It is in very good condition and all the detail is very clear.
The design is significant of the times and represent certain things. The rose is for England, the thistle for Scotland (and the Stuarts) and the poppy for Holland.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oldham
Workflow stage: Published
'Roman filigree gold ring. The hoop consists of a drawn strand of wire which has been twisted along its length, with a simple hook-and-loop catch formed by the wire terminals. The top of the ring is decorated with a thinner piece of wire formed into an applied quadruple spiral, the end of which has been twisted around one of the shoulders.
Discussion. There are no exact parallels for this jewellery item. It has similarities with ear-rings and finger-rings with spiral decoration, a common Roman motif. Given the position of the decoration at the top of the hoop, it looks more likely …

Gold post-Medieval mourning ring Date: early 18th century Description: D-shaped hoop, with skull on the bezel, showing traces of white enamel.

There are slight traces of black enamel within the lettering. Discussion: The d-shaped section is typical of the 17th and early-18th centuries.

Four coins reported found on the site of a previous find of similar coins. These coins are all gold doblas of Peter or Pedro I, King of Castile ('Pedro the Cruel'), who reigned 1350-69. All the coins were struck at the Seville mint, the main mint of Castile. They are of good weight and are in generally good condition, with slight indications of wear, so they have seen some currency.
In my report on the previous coins found on the site (December 2005), I made the following comments:
'Gold coins of the 14th century are not frequent finds. We do know from documentary sources that for…

A medieval finger-ring consisting of a flattened hoop and a raised pyramidal bezel. The bezel has a rectangular setting at its apex designed to contain a purple stone (probably an amethyst), which is now loose. The bezel has received some damage at its base. The stone was found loose inside the bezel suggesting that some sort of organic material which has decayed held it in place.

A small fragment of gold, dished and decorated on the outside of the curve, possibly broken from some kind of vessel. The decoration appears to be a plant design, of probable late medieval date. The inner side is undecorated. The exact character of the object is uncertain.
There is no reason to doubt that this object meets the 10% threshold required by the Treasure Act, or that it is more than 300 years old. As such it therefore qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Act.
