In the year 2016, an amateur fortune hunter with the metal detector twisted up the medieval gold ring which has been set with the sapphire stone in the Sherwood Forest—irk of the legendary Robin Hood. The experts have studied the ring and thought it may date back to the 14th century. The really exciting news for the finder of the ring is that the experts believed that it can fetch $64,500 with the upcoming auction.

Discovering the treasure in the Sherwood Forest

The expert, Mark Thompson, discovers the treasure during that time he was utilizing with an affordable detector that he purchased from the online auction site on Ebay. He’s a painter of the forklifts and was searching for fortunes for just 1 1/2 year. He alleged the metal beneath the wand just 20mins into the meeting in Nottinghamshire in Sherwood Forest.

The online news reports of the finding said Mr. Thompson anticipated to discovering scrap metal with no value or just coins of small value, but during that time by turning up the soil, there was that glint of gold that he saw.

One part of the ring depicted the baby, believed to denote the Christ child, the other part depict the female saint, possibly Saint Elizabeth from Hungary. The mutual figures are engraved in the gold in the ring. Then, Mr. Thompson stated the finding to the proper authorities.

The worth of Medieval Gold Ring

This ring will net him the little fortune if it is really worth its expected worth of $64,500, as provided by the expert at British Museum. Christie's of London, the auctioneers, have provided the ring an even more conservative approximation of $45,000. Either way, its profit will be split to 50/50 together with the landowner. The spokesperson for Christie's had explained the meaning and the value of the ring, saying:

“Mr. Thompson needed to wait for 3 years to have that opportunity to place that medieval gold ring for auction. That moment has been spent following the proper legal process for when someone discovered buried treasures and to have a ring being identified and appreciated with British Museum and the coroner. The coroner also declared the ring being one of the treasures that gave the museum their initial chance to purchase it. When it declined, the ring has been sent back to Mr. Thompson that has now settled to place it on auction.

The type of Loot that Robin Hood might like…

This ring is not thought to be simultaneous with Robin Hood that based on the legend, operated with the gang out of the Sherwood Forest during the 13th century, about King John time. It is still not known was the real Robin Hood or even if he’d more than just that legend but the actual historical figure.

He differed from the other robbers during that time, with Eustace the Monk and Fulk Fitzwarin, who were the real people and were not just legendary. The legends said that Robin Hood stole it from those riches and handed it to the poor.

Ancient Harvest Fairs

The harvest festival that honored Min, the god of fertility and also of vegetation, was commemorated by the ancient Egyptians. During the final day of the harvest (which is being held in springtime), there will be grand parade that was believed to be held at which this Pharaoh would attribute. The Egyptian farmers will make believe to weep and to mourn just to fool those spirits that had been dwelling in their crops.

The ancient Greeks had been giving thanks to Demeter, the goddess of harvest and of fertility. The Romans are also honoring Ceres, the divinity of agriculture, (from which the term cereal has been taken) and another festivity has been held to give honor to the gods of the grain.

The Ancient Celtic peoples have robust harvest festivals, then, these traditions had goes on for about thousands of years now.

In the Jewish practice, the holiday of the Sukkot or the (Feast of Booths) has also been observed during the season of fall in which exceptional meals are being eaten from the booth, Sukkah or hut, to give thanks to the care and the protection god is giving.

The very old roots of harvest festivity are stretching back to the time when hunger has been that constant threat and many societies are sensing the mercy of many gods in the history of the world. The thanksgiving now is the modern, thriving holiday—the blend of secular and religious — but, still celebrated from around the globe in different means, with honor being given to the bountiful of our lives, that is shared among those who are strangers to us, our friends and most especially, our family!
