Quality Over Quantity

Got out for a rare hunt this past weekend to a site I've hunted many times and came put with one of my best finds in years! It's a miracle it wasn't crushed or broken and I suspect it could be quite old. Most definitely gold but without hallmarks. Also found a late 1700s ice creeper which was a first for me! Fun hunt.

Okay, now that ring is totally cool! Definitely looks old, and a really unusual design. Looks like an alien crop circle decoder ring.
Congrats on your prize!

The pattern on the ring repeats. It just doesn't have that gold look to me. Looks like aluminum honestly. But I'm not there, I can't hold it or feel it. Do you have a scale to weigh it? Nice finds regardless.

"Rare", I see, you have not been out, or posted much in a year or two. Me neither.
Yeah those are some interesting markings on the ring, almost looks like a symbol type of writing, or as suggested just decorative IDK, but someone must have seen it before ?

A great looking Ring !

I read that Gold & Silver jewelry was not hallmark stamped until the late 1800's - early 1900's.
If you don't have a Gold testing kit a local Jeweler could tell you the purity and maybe the approx. age of the Ring.

Good Luck !

Great mystery ring! I only offer this as a wild guess. In the early 20th century parts of the US population became obsessed with the occult: divining, fortune telling, seances, zodiac and all forms of spirit world interests. Strange designs became somewhat common, especially in art and jewelry. Maybe that ring was from such a design. I hope you get a good answer and share it with us. Very intriguing.

I've been detecting for 20 years and know the difference between gold and aluminum. It is most assuredly gold. I don't have a scale and there is no need to weigh it for me to know it's a gold ring.

I believe ya. The close up pic is throwing me off is all. It's a very awesome find.
