So I got out to a very old homesite today. I estimate it to be from the 1840-1850 era. I found a Bingham School button in great condition. I also found a silver ring with initials scratched in the bottom, "J.E.I.". I may never know who this guy was, but i will research it. It is probably sterling, but may be coin silver. The part with the hallmark is missing. It had an insignia soldered to it at one time. I found a wheat and a buffalo nickel, as well as a dated wick turner(1870) and 45-70 casing, July 1882.
Any ideas on ring's age please speak up! There is a close up at the bottom showing the shape of the insignia that might have been soldered on. Thanks, Foundinnc.
