I dug this ring last week in the field that produces mostly mid 19th century relics, military buttons and seated silvers and a trime. It was quite mangled and it took some doing to bend it back this far. It took a while before I could even identify it as a ring.
I posted it in Todays Finds and someone suggested that it could be a fur trade item.
In the photos there is a cross to the left of the heart but not in the typical Jesuit style.
Your opinions are important because if the majority agree that it is fur trade, I plan on taking it to my jewelry repair guy to have it re-shaped but I'd rather not spend the money if it's just a cheap 19th century trinket. I live near St. Louis, Missouri if that helps.
