Rare Goldring found

Here is the best goldring i ever found. I only cleaned it with warm water before i gave it to the museum.


I love my Minelab Explorer SE.

what a beautiful part of history there...and from the 1400's?? WOW!

that is a great find. even cooler that you figured out what it is and were able to date it.

Wow.  I can't believe you found it and then had to give it up. But it is really cool.

Beautiful find ! Do you work with the museum or did you just donate it.

SUPER COOL
where did you find it at----church yard, field, old home???
more details! Please!!!!!!! It makes the story even better.

I sometimes work/help with the museum. And yes i donate it to the museum.

If i would sell it- ofcourse i could get alot of money for it, but remember one very very important thing- not everything is about money. In a museum everyone can see it, forever... 


Not just some rich guy with a private collection.  ;)

Really sorry cant tell. 

Awesome find and great post from Norway, congrats!  HH, Mike

That's an important find. I'd love to find something historically important enough to be a museum piece. Congrats!

This is the right attitude, we need more people like this.  How do your Laws on detecting work?

I record things properly for study but lend stuff to the Museum instead of donating.  If I gave it to the Museum I couldn't use it for other displays, when I wanted.

As for your last comment;

I'm a poor guy with a private collection

This is one precious find. Hats off to you for donating it to the museum.

 my father mad a rare donation to a museum in alaska,
when i went to it as an adult the item was gone and they didnt even know who he was.

 ill never make a donation of an item to a museum ever ever.
they will be lucky to get a loan.

You know you could have sold it to the museums, they buy things too. That's a very good gesture for you to just give it to them. Remember this is coming from someone without any money...

Keep @ it and HH!!

A very interesting find. I also applaud that you donated it to the museum. You're right...Not everything is about money.

Congrats on the super find!!!

GH,
What a fantastic find! I think you have me beat by 500 years. 
Very generous of you to donate it, and a wonderful thing to do.
I come from a long line of museum donators too. My family has lots of items in our hometown museum.
Great post,

I bet it feels great when you can show your friends and children all the nice objects you, and your family has donated to the museum 

Imagine what museums would look like if everone would help the museums. THAT would be a collection

It really does feel great to see items in the museum that our family has donated. My great-grandfather was a big collector and taxidermist. He has old guns, coin collections, egg collections, mounted animals (some rare), etc. in the museum.
I am going back next week so the museum can copy some of my original pictures of murderer Belle Gunness's farm from the early 1900's. Next year will be the 100 year anniversary, and they are overjoyed to be able to see my collection of photos.
My great-grandfather knew the photographer at the Gunness Farm fire, and gave him a set of photos.
Here's a link to the Gunness fame:

If people didn't donate items, a museum would be one boring place.  ;)

I agree it is good to see on display stuff that you or your family have donated.  However in the UK over 70% of finds are NEVER displayed or ever see the light of day.  They are in boxes which not even the museum who owns them really know whats in them.  What good would it do if everyone donated to the museum & no-one ever saw them again?  Museum only display things that they believe will draw in crowds & donations.  So many interesting things are locked away due to lack of space & money.  At least in the UK with a healthy mix of private & public everyone wins??

  What a fantastic find! You did good my friend...................

Very nice find,and the history too,well done.

I personally would have sold it, being broke and all right now. Makes more sense for me to be able
to put food on the table with a good find.
That "money isn't everything" ,nice thought,but is  hard to live by when you're flat out broke.

Sorry to hear that, its aways very difficult to be broke- Im not a rich guy either, i hardly have any money to pay my %¤*% bills every month.

I hope you manage to get some cash real soon...

GH,
Again, very generous of you to donate that great find. At least it will be able to be enjoyed by others long after we (and our bills) are gone. Great job.

Thanks for that..I guess I just need to keep trying to move forward. I still think if I found a class ring I can trace,I'd try to find the owner.
That would make me feel like I did a good deed. I guess everyone has those times in their lives where it seems like you just can't get ahead,no matter what you do

I'm still gonna save up the pennies (or quarters) to get into this game..I think I spend too much time on this forum,might as well
be out there looking.
