Got an "A" for my efforts, and a Dodge Charger, and a tiny Silver coin + More

Ok still working the grounds of the apartment complex here in Frankfurt. As you can see from the pics I'm getting a wide variety of finds. For me, the two best of this batch are the small childs ring with Mother of Pearl inlay and the 1860 Silver 1 Kreuzer coin.

Like the Butterfly Brooch I posted last week this ring is of quality workmanship but no hallmarks. I do not know the kind of metal but it may be silver (this is an assumption since there is no green which usually accompanies copper and bronze. The patina is a dark brown (almost Black). Any thoughts?

Other items found include: 3 wheat pennies, 1921 British Penny, 1860 Silver 1 kreuzer, 4 modern buttons, 1 flat button with the "Imperial Standard" back mark, a headless lead soldier (French I think), 1 US Military Crossed Cannon Collar Pin, 5 keys, 1 Boy Scout neckerchief Slide, some glass and pottery shards, and a 1968 Dodge Charger (matchbox).

Enjoy the Pics and Happy Hunting...

As far as maker, other than European - no info. as far as dates - goes back to at least the 1860's. I based that on the number of Imperial Standard flat buttons I have found in US Civil War battlefields and camp sites - not to mention home sites.
