Is This Tiny Ring Old???

[Garrett424]

I dug up this tiny silver Celtic/Filigree style ring last night at a place where I've found some pretty old coins.



There's no real patina or tarnish but it just looks old to me.
The TINY marks are just about worn off.
If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate any comments or advice.
Thanks

The style seams old to me, all tho vintage style has made a huge comeback. If the marks are just about warn off than it was worn for some time. How deep was it?

I would say between 6-7 inches.
It also looks a bit crude compared to some similar modern ones I've seen online. I haven't found any pics of anything quite like it.
I do know it's a Celtic/Filigree design. The marks are unreadable so I really have no clue. It may be crude either because it's old or because it's just a cheap ring.
I just don't know.

At one point in time the celts were here,so dont give up on it not being old.You might get lucky.

At 6-7 inches (assuming its in dirt) id say for sure it has age unless someone buried it there (unlikely). The sight I've recently been hunting was active from the 1930's to 1960's and most of the period finds are about 4" deep.

Yeah, it was surprisingly deep. It's just so CLEAN. I've dug 1940's & 50's silver coins but they never came out looking that good.
I only used warm water and maybe a drop of Dawn on it to remove the dirt.

That's silver for you. I recently dug a 1927 mercury dime that you would swear was found in change right from the ground with a little water.

The celts were in Massachusetts and New Hampshire,Connecticut,whether they made it to Maryland you never know.

Yeah, the way history is taught, millions of Americans think Columbus was first and that he actually set foot on the North America continent; neither of which are even remotely true.

I wish I knew more about certain history, not to mention jewelry, since I seem to be digging up a bit of it.

One thing I've learned through this hobby is, you NEVER know what's in the ground, how long it's been down there or from whom or where it came from. There are always new surprises to be had.

I dug a Merc years ago, a 1941 and it looks almost perfect to this day.

i found a merc in a park that was only an inch deep. I then found a diamond gold ring near the merc that was an inch deep and thought it was kind of old because it looked like an old style, and hey, the merc was practically alongside it. Later, when I had my magnifying lenses on, I saw the band was hallmarked 14kcz! Not old at all. In the same park, I found a couple of clad dimes that were about 6" deep (How i hate those). Go figure.

to me the ring doesn't look very old, probably within the last 20 years. it doesn't look particularly celtic, at least to me. i think it is just a modern commercially produced ring. sometimes they are marked 925 with a couple of maker's initials and country of origin such as china or thailand. marks on those pieces can vary in size from tiny to large, and can also be poorly struck, even out of the factory.

 

[historyncoins1]

I would definitely say its old
