Summary
A metal detectorist in Somerset, England, unearthed a jaw-dropping 48-gram gold Roman ring engraved with a goddess in a chariot—part of a haul including nearly 300 coins. Bought by the South West Heritage Trust for £78K, the artifacts stay local, delighting finder Kevin Minto, a former soldier turned detectorist who used the hobby to stay fit and eventually paid off his mortgage. Experts call it an “unparalleled discovery” for Britain, likely ceremonial in nature, and it’s now touring schools before heading to the Museum of Somerset—while Minto keeps digging for more secrets.
