update: thanks for all the comments for these finds, ive been looking at them all day, this site was settled as early as 1712 so it could have been buried then or a later time, but i will not scrap, separate, or sell, in case anybody was wandering......Just went to a new field where a early 1900s house was and pulled a silver half and Rosie. Then I get a deep faint target and over a foot deep I get this silver plated case. And 4 gold rings inside! They tested at least 10k except one is 18k. Holy crap, I'm still out here in the field going at it, but had to post this. 1 has a date of 1730 and another has a date of 1732. Could they be this old? Will get more pics when I get home

Some more pics real quick, looks like the tin they were in is silver! 1 ring says nothing, 1 says g p g 22 Jan 1732 on inside, 1 says hearts united live contented on inside, and last one says George king obe 4 oct 1730

There's a marking on the tin they were in, see pic

I don't know. Unless they nominated people to that posthumously? That particular Order wasn't established until 1917.

Many. A lot. Whole bunch. Several.
OH MY GOODNESS! Congrats on a find of a lifetime! Very few that use a detector will ever come across such a great find! Only in our dreams! I have been detecting since 1971 and found some nice goodies, but this one by far outscores my best find. Again, congrats!

I'm really not even sure how you contained your excitement! Perhaps that was the hoopin' and hollerin' I heard. What an amazing dig!
