How cool is this?!<\/p>\n

A Dubai resident found a 700-year-old ring during a Ras Al Khaimah<\/a> hike, the ring has been handed into a RAK museum where it will be stored in good hands.<\/p>\n

18 months ago, during a 12-hour hike, Mikey<\/a> came across an object in the ground. On closer inspection, the object was a ring with an unusual design and colour, and immediately Mikey knew he had stumbled across something important.<\/p>\n

The ring could date as far back as the 13th century<\/h2>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe my luck \ud83c\udf40 When I got home, I spent the rest of the day cleaning it and researching on the internet to see if I could find out more about it. The only resemblance I could find was that of the old Celtic copper money rings that were used during the 13th century. If I am right, which is a long shot, it means that the ring could be around 700 years old<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mikey admits he wanted to keep the ring<\/h2>\n

Wouldn’t everyone?! But on second thoughts he handed the ring to a ‘very respectful elder’ in Ras Al Khaimah. The elder declined the gift, saying it would be of more value in a museum where everyone can see it.<\/p>\n

So now it’s there. In the Ras Al Khaimah Museum<\/a>, who told Mikey they’ve never seen a ring like this before. The museum confirmed it’s an artefact, and it will be sent to a researcher who will find out the exact origins.<\/p>\n
