Not Silver or Gold, but still my Favorite

[Jerxs]

I found thid seel ring a few years back while metal detecting along the banks of the Susquehanna River in PA. I have yet to find out what it sybolizes or where it might have originated from. The only information I could get on the ring is that it is probably dates back to the 16 or 17 hundreds.

I think this is probably my favorite find to date.

you are very right it is a seal ring its for the person to vow to stay pure until marriage and they give a letter to there spouse that has the exact same symbol on the letter that is sealed with wax he then breaks the seal and opens it up and reads the letter they are pure its a religious thing

JER, Very Interesting Find Congrats. trk5capt...

 

[ModernDayWarrior]

Great find!

 

[b1pw3ha]

Hmmmm Wonder if the person lost it while losing their purity?

 

[nedigger]

The ring you have is most likely not steel but pewter and I agree it was probably a wax seal ring. A very sweet find indeed! HH.

It does look like 3 cobras. My first thought was that it is a seedling sprouting...with some letters across the bottom.

yeah i can see the sprout too... but if it is a signet ring then everything is reversed... so obviously the big symbol on top is a 5 but the letters are way to small for me to make out ... wish there was a bigger pic of it .. i like mysterys... should try to get like a 9 megpixil hi res shot of it...
