My first time out and my first find

[FXD]

Hello all

This is my first post me an dmy friend each just bought Prizm V I have never been detecting before but have always wanted to. I got my Prizm on Thursday and finally went out in my back yard Saturday inbetween periods of the hockey game. My yard is fairly large and then behind it is a small field that leads down to a park, I started in my yard and was getting use to using my detector about 30 minutes into it I was near a large tree in my yard I hit on something and started to dig after about 2-3 inches a silver ring popped out. The pictures didn't come out so great but I put a couple up hoping someone may know something about it, it has PRELUDE Industrial sterling engraved on the inside after searching Prelude which looks like they have mostly silverware I came across a pattern they made that matches I put that picture last to give you an idea of the pattern thats on both ends of it. I can't wait to start going out more and look forward to many good finds. Thanks guys

Welcome! As Mighty AP mentioned, your find seems to be a "spoon ring." Originally, they were handmade from the handles of actual spoons, but in recent years they've been manufactured as rings. Here's a page with a few of the manufactured type, which are often identifiable because the smaller end duplicates the design of the larger one— something usually not seen on the handmade type:
