I found this ring at a beach that has been used since the 1800’s. I had the ring tested and it is mostly lead with a small amount of tin and the pearl is fake.

I have no idea how old it is, maybe someone here can help with that. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Not sure about age either but cool find!
 

My guess is the 60's, because of the design. Also if it was more tin and a little lead it would be pewter. Lead toys and jewelry has been popular since the early 1900's .... lead is easy to cast. I would say the ring was older but the design is more modern. Just my opinion.
 

Nice find indeed,,also not sure of its origin but finding rings is always a good recovery
 

I was happy to find it, i could see where someone had recently detect the same area. The holes were filled in but you could tell someone had been detecting.
