That's a really cool find! I have a black leather cowboy hat decorated with Buffalo Nickels shaped that way, the hat is over 20 years old. A lot of western wear like hats, belts, and jewelry back in the 80's and early 90's used to be decorated that way.

Congrats!

very cool ring. I'm with diggin dude, I think it was made probably in the 80's and probably lost around that time too based on the patina

Very unique ring. I have admired Hobo Nickels for a bit now. Some of those people have a great creative mind. This reminds me of them in a way.

A soft brush and water to clean up a bit. That's all the cleaning this ring received.
That patina is beautiful.
