Looks like you need to rotate the pic another 45 degrees.....as I finally see something that appears Masonic. Whould be nice if the OP would give us a bit of color on this find rather than just a pic from an odd perspective....looks like glass to me....what is the substrate??

You might want to check the ground you moved with the tractor to get the rest of your ring.

Sorry I don't see anything Masonic about it,
But this doesn't mean it isn't I just don't see it. :icon_scratch:

rotating it about 100 degrees I see H (maybe an unusual Cross) & o

Now suggesting it's a stamp & Flipped Horizontal, & rotated

Only thing I can create is maybe H7O ?

I'm more inclined to believe it's not meant as anything but Decorative But Cool Find !
I hope I'm wrong

I'd say just a piece of Jewelry.
if Dime size or smaller, Probably from a ring insert.

If Quarter size or large Necklace insert would be my Guess.

is it green ? or is it clear plastic & showing through to the Green surface behind ?

if plastic 1970's / '80's would be my guess on age

My guess is colonial or Federal era, if made of glass. GREAT find!
