Silver Ring Help.

[Garabaldi]

Look like it has two guns crossed. Anyone have any guesses?

 

[umrgolf]

Man, that is a sweet find... It looks very old, never seen one like it

 

[Garabaldi]

Thanks, just don't know what it is. Maybe civil war era.

That's what I think, if so, it is one of the best CW finds I've seen in a long while.. We'll see what the experts say.. If in fact CW, I would MUCH rather have that than a buckle

 

[Garabaldi]

Ditto.

Looks like crossed metal detectors

Im not an expert but it does appear to be crossed sabres. Any markings inside?

 

[Garabaldi]

No markings inside.

I wish a couple of the more knowledgeable guys on the forum would voice their opinions about this one, but I do agree that it's either sabre's or rifles... The ring appears to be handmade and has the open back which was common in the 19th century from what I understand

WOW, what a nice find! First of all the technique looks to be 'hammered,' and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was not coin silver. Is it soft? Will it bend easily? (Be careful; don't break it, but you can basically tell if it is more soft than a regular sterling silver. Breezie

 

[Garabaldi]

It is very soft, one of the sides was bent in and I carefully bent it out. It kinked a bit. Your right Breezie, it does seem hammered.

 

[SkyPirate]

Some kind of military ring i bet

 

[CRUSADER]

Looks like a Beach find?

Although the hammered effect looks old, I would not discount a modern ring manufactured to look old.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Yea why is it so worn?

 

[Garabaldi]

Beach find.

 

[CRUSADER]

Beach find.

Bingo I think.

 

[dg39]

Appears to have been maybe in a fire? That would cause the hammered or ripple effect.

Bingo I think.

I didnt know you worked the beach G. Well that explains it. Too bad we will never see the details of this interesting ring.

I don't, its my powers of observation, you know that way people tell things from photos which should only be possible in the hands of an expert

I don't usually hunt the beaches, but the ground is frozen solid, so no other choice. But I am loving the beach now. I may have to give up my colonial land hunts.
