Mystery surrounds gold ring find (UK)

A gold ring found by a metal detector enthusiast in Nottingham is provoking debate among experts.

Paul Hammond unearthed the ring in a field near his Clifton home last summer and handed it over to a local museum for them to investigate its origins.

While the signet ring has been dated to the 17th Century, no-one has been able to identify the elaborate coat of arms it bears.

It has now been declared treasure trove and could go on display in Nottingham.
