2000-Year-Old Roman Gold Ring Found in UK
A metal detectorist from Cornwall is ‘still getting shivers’ after discovering ancient gold in his front garden.
Mike Burke, 54, from St Just, had only been metal detecting for a year since his wife Julie bought him a Garrett Ace Apex for Christmas after they watched the television series ‘The Detectorists’.
He dug up his greatest treasure to date just before New Year, when he found what it believed to be a Roman intaglio ring, dating from around the 1st or 2nd century AD.
The retired US military police officer turned maths teacher has now passed on his discovery to the finds liaison officer from the Museum of Cornish Life.
Once confirmed, the unearthed ring could challenge our knowledge of Romans in Britain, where their influence was not thought to have reached West Cornwall.
This is Mr Burke’s most important historical find and ironically one he had walked past on his garden path for years.
Mr Burke said: ‘I don’t normally have permission to go metal detecting in my front garden, because my wife’s got a lot of flowers out there.
'But I decided since everything was dying back and we were getting ready to rake everything up - I was like, it’s no problem, she won’t mind me going in there.’
'Next month when she starts planting seeds again, I won’t be able to do it again, so it was now or never.’
Mr Burke spent 20 years in the US Army as a military police officer, including seven years as a prison guard in military prisons, and now works as a GCSE Functional Skills lecturer in Maths at the local college in Penzance.
Since taking up metal detecting as a hobby, he has found it to be the perfect way to unwind.
'It helps me relax,’ Mr Burke said. 'Even if I’m out with a group of 40 other people, I stick on the headphones, go walk around a field and I’m all by myself in peace and quiet except for the beeps and bops that are coming off the metal detector.’
His previous discoveries include a 2 pence coin from the '70s, a halfpenny from the decades before and tin teddy bear that may have been part of a baby’s rattle.
After finding the suspected Roman intaglio ring, he lightly rinsed it off with water and posted pictures of it on a metal detecting Facebook group, asking if he 'had something’. The first response was 'That’s treasure! You need to contact FLO.’
Any potentially historically significant finds by metal detectorists need to be reported to the local finds liasion officer, who notifies the county coroner. At this point, museums can purchase the treasure from the finder and landowner for their collection, or if it is not of interest to them, the treasure is returned to the finder.
For now, the theory is that the ring that came out of Mike’s front garden flower bed is a Roman intaglio ring, made of gold and weighing 12.8 grams.
It depicts Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, justice, peace and motherhood, engraved into a chalcedony gemstone.
Mr Burke added: 'Every day I look at this and I still get a shiver, you know, I just can’t imagine that I found something like this.’

so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.
someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo
PLS i swear i saw this in another version of this post but i can’t find it now 😭
if anyone knows who wrote this scenario tag them so they can have credit asldfjslkf
@pretend-im-not-there is the one who wrote the previous scenario! and @insomniarama came up with froyo and ham 😂 so:
