Help! Old ring? found!

[usmcscorpio]

Hello to all...I found this very old looking "Colonial Bust" ring in the old historic downtown part of New Albany Indiana. I was using a White's XLT, and dug the ring from a solid 10+ depth...very solid packed soil too. At any rate...the ring is a very heavy man's ring..(size 7 I think) and made of silver...(I haven't cleaned the ring at all...you just "know" silver when it comes up outta the ground The "bust" is of a colonial man...(perhaps of political fame?) :roll: AnyHoo...I am humbly requesting any information or help with the ring, in terms of age, details, value, or any of the above. Thanks in advance for your time and help! George

That's really nice! Any hallmarks or writing? This would help determine the age. Regardless, what a beauty!

Any new news on your ring?

That looks like it might be a seal

It looks more like a person to me.

It could be a seal, but i'm not pro. This page:

Shows seals as being the opposite relief as your ring. And usually a seal was more like a "Coat of arms", the image had to do with your family and heritage.

The dress/style is definately american colonial however.
