update: thanks for all the comments for these finds, ive been looking at them all day, this site was settled as early as 1712 so it could have been buried then or a later time, but i will not scrap, separate, or sell, in case anybody was wandering......Just went to a new field where a early 1900s house was and pulled a silver half and Rosie. Then I get a deep faint target and over a foot deep I get this silver plated case. And 4 gold rings inside! They tested at least 10k except one is 18k. Holy crap, I'm still out here in the field going at it, but had to post this. 1 has a date of 1730 and another has a date of 1732. Could they be this old? Will get more pics when I get home

Some more pics real quick, looks like the tin they were in is silver! 1 ring says nothing, 1 says g p g 22 Jan 1732 on inside, 1 says hearts united live contented on inside, and last one says George king obe 4 oct 1730

There's a marking on the tin they were in, see pic

Hey, none of the rings are marked, but I carry a gold test kit in my jeep,
 

Very nice find!

I'm a little confused because if the 10K markings are also the 1700s dated ones, then it doesn't make sense to me.
None of them are marked but I carry a gold test kit with me in my jeep
 

You stopped hunting to test gold content? That's crazy. Plenty of time after you are done for that! Awesome find. Interesting rings also. Can't wait to see the detail in all of them.
 

four gold rings in a "purse" loss (or purse purposeful burial?) is banner material. thanx for sharing !
 

If I found that a gold test kit wouldn't help, a defibrillator and a partner might though..........congrats!

Absolutely amazing find
 

I wonder what those dates are? Especially the King George one because I can't find anything in my quick search that notes that date as significant (although it is during his reign).
