Discovering the treasure in the Sherwood Forest

The worth of Medieval Gold Ring

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.
