Strange old gold ring

[K1DDO1979]

This ring was dug among the Hibernia,kg iii,kg ii coins and musket side plate. It was just as deep. Not sure if it dates the same but I can't find the matching marks on it anywhere. Seems solid gold but had possibly copper once in the groves of the designs. The mark is a crown then anchor then 14 then crown again. Any help would be appreciated. Seems crown was for gold and anchor for Birmingham and maybe 14 the fineness possibly?

From the looks of those markings you better go throw it in the fires of Mount Doom!

Maybe they had ocean green enamel pain in it and the swirls and stuff represented waves. I'd clean it up a bit if it was mine, hope its not just plated junk, hard to tell for sure from pictures. Best way to know is to have it in hand ! Nice hunt

K1 - I find a lot of early 1900's and late 1800's Gold Rings. In my experience; 10K gold looks faded and worn, like yours does. 14K and above always comes out like new. You can get it tested at a local coin shop.

I thought it would come out a little shinier as well. In hand it does shine nice. It was so hard to get a photo without the glare. Took many to get them photos. Hope it gets solved but a welcome find nonetheless! [emoji2]

I agree, it doesn't look plated it looks like 10 k looks out of the ground. NICE!

The big question is why it has a "14" stamped inside?

 

[NEPADIGGER7]

To me it looks like a higher karat such as 14k and the green may have been enamel. Could be early 20th late 19th century. Good luck i hope u get the exact ID!

That's one cool ring, I'm no expert, but it looks old. I would think it is as old as the coins that you dug in the area. Awesome find
