Trade silver found yesterday

[unitas]

Myself and two friends managed some great finds yesterday.We found two silver brooches
and a fantastic silver ring.We almost gave up on that signal. The ring was so slight it
was difficult to find in the dirt.



Also found were a buckle ,part of a trigger guard, a piece of copper patch, a rim sherd,and
a mystery part.On top with hole. Any ideas?

Thanks for looking.

Oh man, that oval brooch is fantastic. Wonder if there is a design on the ring face ?

Very cool finds!

Nice! I'm with claymation.....what's the design on the ring?
Silver trade rings seem to be rare (at least around here) as I've only found one in thirty years & know of no others!

Nice silver finds! I love the pictures with the brooches looking the way you first saw them in context. I too, vote to see the ring up close and agree they are not a common find. As for your thingy on top with the hole I have no idea. Sorry!
Good job,
Dave.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
Enclosed are some close-ups of the ring. It appears to have an "X" design on it
It is a rare find where I live as well and was very exciting to find.
