A ring from nearly 500 years ago with a mysterious inscription has been found on a patch of UK farmland.<\/p>\n

Andy Taylor dug up the old posy ring after he discovered it using a metal detector near Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n

But the antiques fan said he nearly missed the item, which he unearthed during a metal detecting club event in 2020, as he only happened across it on his way to get a drink.<\/p>\n

He told LadBible: "I was lucky. Just as I turned back, I picked up a lovely strong signal."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"It was an exciting find. When that signal goes off you never know whether it will be a ring-pull or ancient treasure."<\/p>\n

Posy rings are 16th-century love tokens and this one even came with a mystery message, "I Meane Ryght," inscribed on the inside.<\/p>\n

Experts reckon it could be one of several items of treasure hidden by the Sheriff of Nottingham or a family member, with Andy's mate Graham Harrison having found a signet ring thought to have belonged to the sheriff shortly afterward.<\/p>\n
