Great bunch of old finds, CD, Your handshake ring may be "Odd Fellows" related. Happy Hunting, Sub

 

[Calabash Digger]

thanks for the I D ! what does this style of ring date to? I was hoping it dated back to the batwing buckle.

Congrats on some more old finds, I think that ring may have some age on it

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Cool bunch of relics!

 

[Calabash Digger]

I found it dead in the center of a 1800s homesite a few feet from the bat wing buckle.

 

[scruggs]

Nice ole finds your getting! Good luck!

Is the handshake ring silver, brass or copper?

 

[Relicific]

Ring looks a lot like a Jesuit fur trade ring.

 

[Aureus]

Yep. Looks like a Fur Trade period ring from 1700's

Nice relics you found. I really like that little ring...it's different. Good hunt.

 

[paleomaxx]

Very cool finds!

The double loop buckle in the 4th photo; any idea how old those are? I found an identical one a few weeks back and have been scratching my head over it ever since.

 

[Calabash Digger]

I was thinking civil war era , Maybe a gun sling part?
