I dug this in my yard last night. The home was built in 1890. It was about 4 inches down and looks to be in pretty good condition. Do you think it is old or fairly new? I think the ring is brass with a turquoise stone. I think maybe Indian reproduction?

Because the bottom of the ring is open so it can be adjusted I would say that it isn't a high-end ring. But because it is brass with a real stone, and because of the designs on it I would say that it is probably old. If it was new, even dating back to the 1960s it would probably be cheap tin mass produced pop metal. I could see it dating back to the 1800s or turn of the 20th century.

Cool ring... fun find.

By "cast" he means the stone is man-made.

The stone in that ring is probably man made - real turquoise never has that glittery look.
