Posy ring found in Highbridge UK

I can actually post something not about my finds. Not as great as the grenade on beach but an Elizabethan ring that could be 300+ years old.

Now this guy found some treasure. I hope its as old as he thinks and now I know about posy rings. The inscription is pretty cool.

NP all. I did actually find the article through a different news site I frequent which actually had more info. This particular site gave more of a time period for the ring as well as quotes. The site I originally found it was dailymail, but for some reason that one likes to bog down the CPU. Lucky guy.
