Did some research and found a colonial foundation in the middle of a field all that stands is the center chimney,all the fields are melted theres still snow in the woods,decided to get out today and hit these fields the weather was in the 50s,i was happy i did dug a 1790 half real,2 Conn coppers,1 grape shot button and 1 Sterling black onyx ring.Any info on age of ring wound be helpful.
Thanks Gary

very nice first hunt Gary! wow! the button is called a ball button
 

Very nice finds :icon_thumright:
 

I love the ring ! It looks like it has been in the ground as long as that reale ! The coppers are nice too ! :icon_sunny: M.R.
 

Great digs. That reale's in great shape. :icon_thumleft:
 

I agree with MaineRelic.....that ring looks as old as any of the coins. You might want to do some
serious research on that style/type. Are there any markings at all? I have a feeling you have a very nice
historical artifact in your hands. Great hunt!!! Great finds!!! Many many more in 2011. Smith in S. Korea.
 

Great hunt!!! I had a stone fashioned into a ring about 30 years ago and the setting was exactly like that except the stone was square. So yours could be a custom design as well.
 

:hello:

Great silver :o you should be able to ID the coppers by the tone they make :laughing9:

SS
 

i luv that reale,great shape too,Nice.. :icon_thumright:
 

Nice going on the digs! I always love seeing Spanish Silver... I just wish I saw more in my dirt piles!
