On Monday, 29th March, 2021, eight medieval and post-medieval finds in Powys (all found by metal detectorists) were declared treasure, and now a number of museums are hoping to acquire the various pieces. The finds consist of coins, finger rings and some personal items owned by wealthy members of Welsh society between the 9th and 17th centuries. No Richard III, I fear, but his namesake Richard II gets a mention.
See this article to read about the finds in detail. And here is another link, specifically about the “memento mori” ring .
I won’t say it….yes, I will! Such finds beat my bits of Victorian crockery and clay pipes into a cocked hat!
