GGG ring ping. A little find, but a huge find for the hobbyist.
My precious!
All I found were some pull tabs and nails.
The TV show is probably the English show “The Detectorists”

Fun, goofy show. Took awhile to get used to the humor (very subtle, awkward, quirky) and it has some sad and sweet moments. I ended up really enjoying it. Of course it ended too soon (three seasons).
By the way, before everyone gets riled up for the guy turning it in to the authorities. In England, if they determine it has no historical value you can keep it. If it DOES have historical value, they will pay you the fair price for the stuff. This encourages detectorists, and further’s the history and knowledge. The detectorist usually makes a contract with the landowner first regarding what percentage split they will take if private land. Not sure about public land.
“Ancient” ... “600 years old”
This word... I do not think it means... what you think it means.
I'll just say 'interesting' and leave it at that.
Very nice piece. The decoration appears to me to reflect a Celtic influence.
