<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 7613001, member: 101265&quot;]While not in line with what you displayed allow me to show a ring I found while metal detecting last year. It was recently inspected by an archeologist who specializes in Spanish relics. He is wondering if the ring is brass, bronze or a combination. He believes it was likely made in Vera Cruz and likely belonged to a priest. If so it was probably made this way for political protection by hiding the face inside the ring.</p><p><br /></p><p>First note the construction and how sturdily it was made. The “coin” is held in place by EIGHT PRONGS. When have you ever seen a ring with eight prongs </p><p><br /></p><p>‘the facing coin is a replica of an Incan calendar. But looking INSIDE of the ring you will see a face. </p><p><br /></p><p>the face is Father Miguel Hildago, a Mexican priest often called The Father of Mexico. He led the revolution until his capture, torture and execution by firing squad in 1811. </p><p><br /></p><p>Truly one of my most unusual finds.
