Last couple of weeks finds. Silver and my first Indian!

[EC.Mason]

Below are some things I have found during the last couple of weeks. The first on the left is a silver ring I found at my great grandfathers old house. The second is a Merc I found in a rockhouse; then an old locket I found at another old house. If anyone has any idea of the decade this might have come from Id appreciate the help. The fourth one over is a 1898 Indian Head penny. I have found many coins from the early 1900s, and even a coin from the 1700s, but this was my first 1800s coin so I am pretty excited. The last item is a wheat penny that looks like it was converted into a button. It has a hole at the top, one in the bottom and had been filed down. I found it in an old field next to my house. I have additional pics below.

The Indian head penny is on the left and the wheat penny converted into the bottom is on the right.

Here is a closer look at the Indian Head.

And here is the silver ring I found at my great grandfathers. I would like to find some information about it because it is probable that this belonged to my great grandmother or a great aunt. Just not sure of how old it is. It says "silver filled esp," on the inside. Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys. When I found the Indian the date showed up very clear. I just used soap and water and it really shined up well.

The button wheat is 1925.

Silver Filled indicates a solid layer of silver bonded to a copper core. The outer layer of silver is much thicker than silver plate. I think it's a rather recent technology.
