FuzzyDuck Valued Member United Kingdom 106 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 09:17 am Hi all, I have just tried my hand at cleaning my first very encrusted ring. I feel that it has come out really well, especially considering how it came out of the ground!! I have a couple of questions if you are able to help me out? 1. Is it bronze? 2. Is it Roman? 3. How can I learn to differentiate between different periods in history? Many thanks Report this Post to the Staff

FuzzyDuck Valued Member United Kingdom 106 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 10:40 am I can't see any Marks on it,but the inside is uncleaned still at the moment. I'll attach some pics for you. I also have another that I am part way cleaning that has a lovely pattern starting to show on the bezel. Report this Post to the Staff
