Hello from England

I am new here and would like opinions or comments of what I think is an old ring I discovered digging in my Garden.

Welcome to the forum. Hard to tell the size of the find. Congrats though

 

[jh.design]

Thanks, It is 2.5cm in diameter and fits nicely on my little finger, It weighs 9 grams.

If it's not magnetic, I'd say it's a very old ring.

It is magnetic, Had not thought of checking that.

I seriously doubt it's a ring. Looks like it's made of steel. My opinion is that it is probably from the handle of something like a garden trowel

 

[jh.design]

Yeah you are probably right! Kinda hope not though!

 

[G.I.B.]

Yeah, looks industrial.

That's what I was thinking. Just a plain ferrule.

Hello and Welcome to Tnet

 

[jh.design]

Thanks all for your opinions! Workings as a landscape gardener in southern England I churn up lots of random things most weeks, in particular lots of old clay smoking pipes and codd bottles. Nice to have somewhere to share these finds and get opinions on them!

Looks like a sleeve of some sort.

Keep on digging and welcome to TN. I think it would be so much fun to dig up clay pipes and Codd bottles,they are so neat with the glass marbles in them and the different embossing.

The Codd bottles I have were bought in England and have embossing on them.

Here ya go Scott,these are like the kind I buy at shows from an expert in the bottle world. They are never very much but I like them.
