"Have you found any rings for her yet? When it came to valuable things, I found more rings than anything else. It's amazing how many are out there."

I saw an interesting story on one of the documentary channels about one of The Roosevelts had lost a ring on the beach in Hawaii...50 years later, someone found it.

Just curious, did you read the whole thing or just the first part about the names of the four forts? You could have called this "genealogy ping."

There was another wall between Britain and Saxony, which are now known as Wales and England.

Is that the same as Offa's Dyke?

[RightWhale]

Yes, there have been several walls in the same general area. The Romans built them to keep those wild Britons out. They would come into the Roman towns and drink watery ale and read poetry in a more or less uncontrolled manner.
