Decided to check again my new spot in the woods where I found the awesome Patriotic button. There's a small hill in the middle of it I wanted to explore so decided to go straight there since I only had 4 hours to hunt. Was a bit disapointed at first as the targets were scarce and I didn't find any buttons or coins. After about 2 hours got a deep jumpy signal. Couldn't believe my eyes when this beauty came out.
I knew the place was old as I have found some 1700's coppers but never thought I would find relics of this age and quality. I was in such disbelief that I started looking into the rim trying to spot a hallmark of any kind and of course there was none. Super happy with this find, always wanted to get one of those early Claddagh silver rings or a Fur Trade period silver ring of any kind
Found a similar ring at National Park service website.

I sure hope this spot has some more surprises for me but even if it won't I'm extremely happy with the quality of the relics I managed to find there already.
A nice little hunt.
P.S. Just to prevent any confusion over its size and thickness I include a pic of the ring next to a copper Fur Trade period ring I have previously found.
