Went out to a fur trappers site on an island in a local river. I found a jesuit ring that dates from the 1600s that was handed out to the local Indian

Adventured out to some islands at a fur trapper's site. Felt like I was walking in the foot steps of the trappers and indians.
Found a Jesuit ring that dates from around the 1630s. and represents the protection of Mary ! Found a copper tinkle cone ( worn on native American dresses), also got a Native American copper hair slide bead. Jean Nicolet went exploring the area in 1630

Great find... your ring is a type 1A...
Interlocked A and M... Auspice Maria... meaning marias protection.
Also... its the mark for the Society of Saint Sulpice

Has any one ever found an iconographic ring with markings on the band ? I found an L Heart with an inscribed band. One of the characters appears to be a triple tau.
