This ring is a beauty. It could possibly belong to an old vet from the CW. The fact that some plates and coat buttons came from this same area makes you wonder if maybe some reunions or gatherings of these old vets may have taken place there. Maybe some soldiers from local regiments that fought in the war. Well Done on a Great find.

Beauty ring! Based on what else you have found at the site it very well could have been CW but there are people here who can probably nail it for you

And depending on where you dug it in Ohio, there were training grounds and also POW camps for the CW.
