Kevin Minto, an amateur detectorist, was searching farmland close to Ilminster in the south west of the U.K. when his detector picked up on the buried object. He initially assumed he\u2019d located a coin or a brooch. \u201cYou\u2019re a little dumbfounded, really. One of the boys I was with was screaming: \u2018We\u2019re rich, we\u2019re rich,\u2019\u201d he said. The piece features an engraved gemstone depicting Victoria, the Roman goddess of triumph, steering a chariot drawn by two horses. Weighing 48 grams and dating to roughly A.D. 297, the object is believed to have belonged to someone of considerable standing during years of regional turmoil under Roman occupation. The South West Heritage Trust, a historic association, paid \u00a378,000 ($105,000) for the ring and 297 accompanying coins. Senior curator Amal Khreisheh hailed the find as \u201can unparalleled discovery for Britain.\u201d Minto, who paid off his mortgage with his share, says he\u2019ll continue to visit the site where he unearthed the ring, hoping to find other treasures.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=577\">Trump Predicted to Make Chilling Pivot After Midterms<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>Guardian<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A truck driver and former soldier has unearthed a priceless 1,700-year-old gold ring in the English countryside.
