Help dating a "STERLING" ring
A few weeks ago I got permission to hunt the neighbors house that's vacant. It's maybe a late 1800's to early 1900's home. I found a few Civil War items in the yard and a 1902 Barber dime in the ditch while I was using my 1265x. Well I bought a DMCIIb and decided to take it there and hunt it again to see what I might have missed. I ended up finding a .69 3 ringer , an old Micky Mouse pin with the pointy nose, and this ring that is marked "STERLING". What I'd like some help on is the era of this style of jewelry. Could this be a ring from 1800's or sometime in the 1900's. Notice the style of flower.The stone appears to be a ruby but not sure how to tell if its real or glass. Not sure if anyone here will know about antique rings but it's worth the try, thanks!
