I found this ring today along with some clad coins. Not sure if it has any value. It read a 99 on the ATP and has the number 825 on the inside band.

BDinutah, I found it about 4 in's deep.

MDVagabond8, I been detecting for about 2 months, man did I get lucky! Hope you find one soon, gl & HH.

Lookindown & park pirate, you guys are right. I looked closer and it is .925, it also has 9 diamonds of 20 it had originally, WOW.

I am beyond happy, thank you all for looking, glad I could share it! Gl & HH to all!

Lovely Ring! I'm not able to tell from your pics, but does the ring look like it's missing a few stones? I'm only asking because, at least from what I can see, the stones that are present resemble "Marcasite."

Marcasite Jewelry - Marcasite jewelry has been around for centuries, with early examples discovered in Incan ruins and Egyptian tombs. Marcasite was thought to have therapeutic properties and was often used as a healing stone. Many cultures also believed marcasite would attract wealth and inspire creativity.

It was during Queen Victoria's reign that marcasite jewelry gained great popularity. After her husband died, Queen Victoria donned only dark clothing and jewelry to symbolize her widowhood, and the masses followed suit. Marcasite brooches were a Victorian favorite, as well as lockets, cameos and earrings.

HungarianHuntress, it's obvious I'm no jewelry expert. Some who have seen it personally said diamond, but I'm with you, looks a lot like marcasite. Thanks for the educational info, very interesting.
