Ancient Roman Villa

The fact that the place where Massey found out that ring was a place where ancient Roman villa stood was unknown to Massey at first. And even when he did not know that the place held major importance in Rome’s history he was still able to excavate so many artifacts from that place.

Monetary Value

Now the thing that was eating up Massey was the worth of that ring.

Massey was desperate to find out its monetary value but this was not going to be an easy task. But Massey was known for taking up an easy task or for not giving up easily.

A Tough Task

This job of finding the real value of the ring was going to be a tough job. And the main reason behind all it was the fact that there is no precedent of such a finding in the UK.

‘We have no idea how much the ring is worth – there is nothing like it in the UK,’ Massey said.

Profits

Massey will most probably share 50 % of the profits generated by that ancient ring with the lucky landowner who owned that place where the ring was found. And now both of them are waiting so that its exact value is determined by the British Museum.

Roman Artifacts

Detecting for Veterans is a search group that continues to find artifacts and various other precious items that date back to Roman times. The group has found more than 60 Roman coins, most of which are silver but some of which are gold and bronze.

Bronze, Silver, Gold

The ring had each and everyone astonished because it was made of gold and that was the reason Massey was so surprised to find it. Silver and bronze have been found many times by the group but gold findings are really rare because gold in that era was extremely rare and was owned by extremely rich people.
