I found these at a freshwater beach 2 Mercs 1917 and 1917D 2 nickels 1908 V and 1917 Indian head a 1822 One Cent a silver ring and a small Gold ring.
The inside of the gold ring has the makers mark of a sideways anchor and the letter K, which is the maker's mark for Ripley-Howland Mfg. of New York. They were in business between 1886-1912.
My guess is it is 100 or so years old.

Seems like the components of that entire great find were made about 100 years ago or more and that is why they are worth more! Any I.D. on the stones in either of the rings? Great finds!.........................63bkpkr

Great finds and thanks for sharing it with us. I'd go back to that beach for some further detecting if i was you. A spot on place. Congratulation. Are those rubies on the ring? Keep it up and again well done!!!! M
