So I am convinced at this is a really really old ring. They weren't always made out of sterling silver, gold and copper. I was dating at a 1890 home site which is rubble now. Over the past 6 months, found some nice items worth a few bucks, and alot of junk. Well I noticed a very large tree up in the woods on the hill about 30 - 40 feet from the home site.

I thought hey this would be a great place to find a cache! Well I think I was close. I detect on the lower side of the tree that faces the home site, and it beeped right up against the tree, about 6 inches from it. This was found at about 4 inches down.

It looks perfectly like a ring to me. It has a round base 3/4 around it, and then a flat rectangle on top, the flat piece curves around it very nicely, it seems to be a little bit bent, but it fits my middle finger perfectly, it doesn't fall off.

My dad says it's a machine part, but I don't think so. What do you all think?
