ThemilDetector,

Great find not a jewel expert could be a ruby, however, quite a few other red precious stones exist. Stay safe out there.

Thanks bill. I would be over the moon if it were a ruby. Its over an inch tall so Im guessing probably not lol.
 

Yeah rubies are on the pricey side I found a chunky men's 14k ring with a red stone. A jeweler told me it was a synthetic ruby odds are yours being older is probably the real deal whatever the stone actually is. If you have a reputable jeweler in your area it might be worth having them check it out down the road.

Here's the ring I mentioned.
