🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Crude copper ring or a piece of copper junk?

[perdidogringo]

I dug up this crude piece of circular copper today and am wondering if it is an old ring or something else? There's nothing inscribed on it that I can see. For some context, I was searching in an area that had some native american (for several hundred years) and pioneer (from about the 1820s and on) settlements. Any feedback would be appreciated.

It's the end of metal detecting season here in Illinois and I still wonder about this find. Is it an old copper ring or a piece of discarded cut piping?

I'm reviving this thread in case there others who missed it before but may have an opinion.

I would say old carnival trinket.
