Well, it’s obviously not from that..

Really, that would have been my guess too. Is there a sterling or .925 mark on it? Otherwise, you will need to test it for the type of metal to start with.

I found it with metal detecting on a 1700s place, it’s probably bronze.

it really lacks craftsmanship.

It doesn’t have any mark or something like that! Should I clean it from patina?

It's not bronze nor is of any other precious metal.
It does have a brass/copper look to it from being in the ground.

For age it could be 50 yrs old, or it could be 75 yrs old.

Though just because a site is dating back to 1700s doesn't mean the recoveries are as well.
Low end type of ring that isn't even close to that era.
Maybe not ball gum machine, but certainly a 5 & dime type ring.
