A worker named Ben Bishop just “luckily” found the Queen Elizabethan Ring while using a metal detector in a field in the town of Glastonbury, Somerset, England.
Worth mentioning, this worker thought he only found a can ring, so the metal detector rang continuously.
Only later did he discover that it was actually a rare Elizabethan gold ring worth up to £10,000.
According to Mail Online, this gold ring dates from 1550-1650. Sort of, it will be sold at Hansons Auctioneers in Derby on September 27.

Sharing with Mail Online, this 30-year-old factory worker said: “I thought it was a soft drink can product so the metal detector went off. I’ve found tons of great products over the years along with a lot of trash.”
On the verge of that, Bishop added that he dug up that grassy area thinking he would only find a can product like so many times before but instead something shining was gradually revealed.
“I pushed the dirt away and discovered it was an ancient gold ring. This is the first gold ring I found. I was speechless and just sat on the ground and looked patiently for about 40 minutes,” he said.
According to observations, this ancient ring has a two-headed eagle, this detail helps experts determine that this is jewelry during the time of Queen Elizabeth and was born around 1550 – 1650. Therefore, the ring Rings are about nearly 500 years old.
Some sources are aware, The Ring has been examined for several months and the British Museum has made a report on it.
However, no museum wanted to buy this ring and it was returned to the person who found it.
“I agree with the owner of this field that, if I find any item of high value, I will sell it and divide the proceeds. Even though it is a men’s bracelet and fits my finger very well, I have to give the owner of this land a part,” Mr. Bishop added.
