Diamond Ring / Victorian Brooch

[Whydah]

My son and I got together this morning for a few hours before Easter Dinner. What a great hunt it turned out to be. I can't take the credit for finding this great little beach. He found it on his own. He had found a 1933 Peace Dollar there the other day, I might add it was his first... He also had quite a few silver dimes and a couple of Indian Head penny's too. Yesterday, he called me and said that no matter what I was doing today, we had to hunt today. I took him up on his offer. I found some very cool items today. A nice Sterling Diamond Ring that turned out to be a CZ Stone. Three silver dimes, a buffalo Nickel, a few Wheaties an Indian Head Penny, Two nice buckles,and a VICTORIAN BROOCH of some kind. Can anyone date this baby for me. Maybe tell me how it was used or what was in it. Thanks for looking, WHYDAH

Nice sterling ring, in general you don't find real stones with silver. I like the brooch I'd say it looks Victorian so around 1837-1901.

I'll take a sterling ring as a good day, any day !

Great hunting !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

That brooch looks like you could put a couple of fresh flowers in it when worn
