IT MIGHT not be Roman treasure, but this little piece of gold could be part of someone’s history.

Sylvia Bottoms thought husband Reginald had unearthed a “treasure trove” when he showed her the ring on their plot on the Abbey Estate near Burford Road, Cirencester.

After cleaning it up, the couple discovered it was a gold band with an inscription in memory of someone on the inside.

Mrs Bottoms, 75, of Crabtree Lane, said: “We would very much like to find the owner, it would be lovely to reunite them with the ring.

“So far we have asked previous owners of the plot without success. We would be pleased to restore it to them if someone would like to identify it.”

“If nobody comes forward to claim the ring I think I’ll take it to a jewelers and donate the money to charity,” she added.
