So me and my brother went to a park which has some history, have found a crotale bell and other period items in the park. This item when I first dug it I was thinking a copper ring of some sort. I got it home and did some cleaning and I believe it might be silver not sure, it was very deep and tarnished. I have included the find picture then the after some cleaning pictures. It seems very crude and was wondering what you all think? Possibly a hand hammered ring or just trash? I honestly do not know, but was interesting, also found the cross in the same park although it was shallow. The item is to heavy for aluminum and is not magnetic. I look forward to your opinions.

Always start with "Look at the ring I found" then let somebody prove it isn't one !
