Every time I read one of these stories, I wonder how many people who want to be in the news simply buy this stuff on EBAY

"The item was in fact a ring that experts at the Ulster Museum in Belfast have dated to circa 1170."

I'm not a big fan of jewelry from the '70s...

Such cases are held before the Coroners Court in Northern Ireland to determine whether the items are treasure and thus belong to the Crown.

Anything I dug up from my yard would be mine. Of course I wouldn't be broadcasting the find to the world.

Why would you turn it in if you knew the frickin’ feds were going to take it? Found on your land but they can confiscate it if it is over a certain antiquity. The US has laws that are just as intrusive when it comes to treasures.

.....he initially thought the engraved finger ring .....

My thought is that the work on the ring was produced by a stamp and not engraved.
