PHOTO OF HALLMARK ADDED: Rosary and Possible Colonial Era Silver Ring

[West Jersey Detecting]

3/16: I added some closeups of the hallmark. Look at the replies for the updated photos. Any help with ID on rings maker is appreciated!!

Daylight Savings time is finally here! I was able to detect the rumored site of an 18th century Quaker's Meeting House after work yesterday. Unfortunately it was also a modern dumping ground with washers and dryers and car parts all over the place.

I did manage a couple of nice finds, one is a rosary bracelet (I think) which I was surprised to see marked SCOVILL. The other appears to be a very old silver ring. I was happy to discover that it is not stamped Sterling or .925; instead it appears to be stamped with a hallmark that I cannot make out. Can anyone help on the ID on these things?

I am not a big jewelry hunter, but I have found 5 rings this year, which is usually my count for the year. Additionally, I have dug silver on every outing this year.

If you draw the hallmark we may have a chance but without it we have very little other than style & that can get you in trouble

I did my best to photo the hallmarks. Ad you can see, one is a rectangular depression, the other a long oval.

I am not sure if it is upside down or sideways, but lets see if you can make heads or tails of it.

Hey Neil,

Sorry I can't help you with the hallmarks, but that sure is a nice, early looking ring.
