Found this in back of an old house we were cleaning out. My old eyes cant read the inside of the ring.
I can make out a C to start and maybe an "a" after that. any ideas? Looks like it was resized at some point.

First, you'll need way more light than that. A flashlight, perhaps. Next, try to give us more of an angle than the first picture, but less of an angle than the second picture - an angle somewhere between the two.
Personal inscriptions such as that where typically found on some19th century wedding rings. It appears to be so badly worn and now no longer legible. Could have been resized due to the aging of the person who originally owned it. Seems all the ancestors who I've known in my family who where born in the 19th all aged to nothing but skin and bones. In early photos of them in their prime they all looked to be robust and muscular, but in they're 80s and 90s they shrunk in size.
