That is crazy awesome!
That lucky bugger, If he wasn't hooked on the hobby he is now.
A great find, but poor journalism. Detecting is illegal in Sherwood Forest. The ring was found on an organised dig on nearby farmland. The writer headlines the figure £70,000. Let's hope the finder isn't disappointed with all the media hype. The ring has to go through the treasure process and a final value rests with the valuation committee.
The relation with Robin Hood - if he ever existed - is tenuous but that, AND the association with Sherwood, makes a better story.
There it is! Finds like that are what gets us up and out! Thats the thing about this Sport that captures the imagination...Sometimes you just never know what the next ping will be...Thanks for the post!
