Didn't have much time today, but knew the ground wasn't frozen so went to the nearest cellar hole and gave it hell for 1.5hrs. Nails, and more nails. Move off the area and just found an open spot and started swinging. Saw a rock that seemed out of place and got a banging 32 on the equinox. Out pops what I believe is a ring, and an old one at that. Possible brass, or copper, not exactly sure. You can see the seam where it was bonded together, and a stamp on the inside. I think the stamp is MRK but difficult to tell.

First, is this a ring? I'm saying yes.
Second, what would this be made out of, as it does not appear to be gold and appears hand made?
Third, Age....what are we looking at here 1600's, 1700's, 1800's?
