Summary/Abstract: The area around Gălăţeni village, Mureş county, on the left bank of Niraj river is poor in archaeological sites. From the settlement and nearby villages only a couple isolated finds are known, early bronze age and bronze age objects1. The paper presents a silver ring fragment which was found with a metal detector on a hilltop covered with dense forest, at east from the village, at a depth of about 20 cm. We consider it is important to be documented, as it could have belonged to one of the first settlers of the medieval village Sancta Gerecia.
