Thanks for the reply Andy,

Would it have been on a pet rabbit or wild rabbits,

Didn't know you put rings on rabbits.

Found it in the middle of a field about 4 inches down while detecting.

Thanks again Andy,

Thanks Lads,

H Is probably the ring size, I Contacted the Rabbit Council and they don't keep breeders records that long back, which is a shame as I Like to get a bit of info on my finds,

Thanks again everyone
