I understand that Helen Thomas has filed a petition to get her ring back.

I suppose the finder gets nothing in return. Not exactly an incentive to go “treasure” hunting.

I hadn’t thought of Ilkley in a very, very long time!

“Ilkley Moor Bar t’At

Where hast tha’ been since I saw thee?
(I saw thee)
On Ilkley Moor bar t’at,
Where hast tha’ been since I saw thee?
(Hast thou been since I saw)
Where hast tha’ been since I saw thee?

On Ilkley Moor bar t’at,
On Ilkley Moor bar t’at,
On Ilkley Moor bar t’at.

Tha’s been a-coortin’ Mary Jane,
(Mary Jane,)
On Ilkley Moor bar t’at,
Tha’s been a-coortin’ Mary Jane,
(been a-coortin’ Mary)
Tha’s been a-coortin’ Mary Jane,”

The ring, which was formerly declared to be treasure yesterday

I doubt it. This probably should be "formally".

[Red Badger]

...which was formerly declared to be treasure yesterday

BAD English grammar!.........

Hate to sound dishonest here, but why do people turn those finds into the governments, especially if a person finds said objects on his/her own property?

[Pablo64]

"The ring, which was formerly declared to be treasure yesterday at an inquest in Harrogate,..."

Well, if it was formerly declared to be treasure, what is it now?

Beautiful!
