An Ancient Sheriff of Nottingham ring which was discovered by a metal detectorist is expected to reach thousands. The 350-year old gold signet ring displays the coat of arm of the Jenison family and could reach £6000 to £8000 when it is auctioned.
The ring will go under the hammer at Hansons' Auctioneers Historica sale this Thursday, March 24. The ring has been examined by experts at the British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme. A local metal detector enthusiast uncovered the find in July 2020 on a farmland in Rushcliffe, Nottingham.
