The tiny object that Board initially mistook for a mere piece of scrap metal turned out to be a medieval wedding ring worth between $35,000 and 47,000 dollars (£30,000 and £40,000). "It was once I got home and washed it off that we realized it was a lot better than we thought," he told CNN shortly after his miraculous discovery. Shockingly, it was only his second time ever taking to the field with a metal detector. Board explained that, after his first experiment with the sport in the 1970s that proved fruitless, he gave it up for 50 years. Then, in 2019, he decided it was worth a second go around.
According to People magazine, Board requested permission from the landowner to do some treasure hunting in a large pasture. Luckily, he chose the right one, as the medieval wedding ring he found was in near perfect condition and turned out to be worth a hefty sum of cash.
