Update: a couple members say it's Georgian period...late 1700s/early 1800s...I'm over the moon...
I did dig a possible white gold ring a few months ago, but this one i'm fairly sure is legit. Rang up as a 12-20 on the e-trac and was only about 3" deep. weight is 7.2g. i've been trying to decipher the hallmarks...there's an anchor which i think means Birmingham U.K., there's a bust which i think is a duty mark (if that's what it is then it was was made sometime between 1784 and 1890), and then there's "MP" stylized together...any info on that?
Couple more finds from the past few days:
1880 Campaign token for Winfield Hancock and W.M. English
1905 New Jersey Census pin

I'd be stoked. 
Heck your other finds ain't bad either.
