Friends Aaron Pizzey and James Race, both local to Suffolk, find a rare ring dating to the 14th century in a ploughed field near Stoke Ash. They make the discovery in April 2024 while using metal-detecting equipment.
Both reports describe the recovery as nearly derailed by equipment issues. They say they were close to giving up because of a faulty headset, before continuing and locating the ring. The item is described as being worth around £10,000 due to its age and rarity. The accounts provide limited additional detail on provenance, the precise excavation circumstances, or how the ring is authenticated, but they agree on the location, timing, and the general value attributed to the find.
