Ooops! Deer! I saw it. A most handsome one with the horns. I nearly wanted to stop the car to take some pics with some. Now I saw it, dear!

Can you leave it with some food? Lovely animal!

The artistry and workmanship are stunning. Don't forget the video as it shows off all sides of the ring. Simply fantastic. Link here please

That reminds me of people losing their class ring on adventuresome outings when I was in highschool. We found a few using a metal detector just like that fellow did.

Hello alp, hope you had a wonderful time on your trip. Oh no, I won't feed the deer, the hill and creek is one street over and they can eat over there, NOT in my yard and my plants. lol I've been in this house since leaving the farm in 1991 and this was the first time I had a deer in my yard.

Thank you, @johnny canoe ! Long drives, but some places were really very nice. But the RHS Tatton shows have definitely removed some lovely areas, which is a shame. Son has never been there, so we paid for £7 parking. Normally, we don't pay for parking, but the Council have had an eye on the goose which lays the gold egg! Yes, I heard that deer can damage plants. Probably not a good idea to entice them into your yard. I didn't see anything in the first place and must have clicked away and saw some other videos as I remembered the bison. Saw a dead badger on the road during the trip. So nice when the weather was fine in the north. I got the most expansive panoramic views near the RHS flagship in the north - Harlow Carr!

As the UK is a country with a lot of history, we hear stories about the most amazing gold hoards from time to time. The artistry and beauty of this ring are just amazing.
