Complete Shoe Buckle and Gold Ring

[foundation hunter]

Found about 12 new cellar holes last week, been doing alot of hiking in other towns and found all these new foundations mostly 1700s.I got in there today for a couple of hours and found a complete shoe buckle and a gold ring size 5 could be a childs Poesy ring?Theres a hallmark inside the ring along with some ingraving,i sure could use some help on this ring.
Thanks Gary

VERY COOL!

I've never used this, but check out this link below. It appears to be a place where you can ask about hallmarks. That would be very cool if it's
a colonial, and made by some popular colonial goldsmith!! Nice find!

Cool Finds! Did some digging but have to get up early tomorrow. I never used this guy, but give him a shot, after all, they call him a Hallmark Guru! Hope this helps, Paul http://www.antique-jewelry-investor.com/antique-gold-hallmarks-question.html

LOL LOL LOL, Hey Slabman, were we hunting at the exact same time? What are the chances we both found this at the same time!

Amazing finds, that ring is something else, I have a feeling its very old.

I like the buckle myself.

Nice ring that W just might be a M with Roman numerals just maybe a ring from the 1700,s ? just my guess and nice looking Colonial buckle Dd60

My hunch is that the ring is much later--Victorian Era or so (judging from the Style of the letters).

A posy ring is Much older--1600s--and had a rhyming verse inscribed, not initials. So this is not a posy ring.

The complete buckle is a great find too.

That's what I think too. I have never seen an early ring that was large and looked like a current gold band, such as that one does. My 1802 one is very thin and light.

What an absolutely positively gorgeous ring

Doing a bit of searching on "hallmarks" I came across this:

Not sure if it is of any help, just thought it was interesting
If you find out more info on your ring I hope you post about it for I would love to know more

Congrats on the finds!

I wish the plow didn't damage every shoe buckle we find. You found yourself a nice one.

You got that right. I've lost track of how many old sites I have hunted, but can quite easily keep track of the gold rings... because there is only 2.
