Kind of looks like signet ring maybe, hard to tell w/o better pics.

I have posted a few more pictures I think it may be lead .. It was in the ground when they was diggeing the foundations for the cabbort circus buildings

I know it is frustrating to get clear close up photos, but a detailed picture of the design on the face would help. Perhaps if you situated it near a window with the window light shining across the face would help bring out the detail. I tend to agree with ramitt, it looks like a brass or copper signet ring.

Ok I'll have another try lol...how old do you think it could be any one it was about 20 foot down

It does look quite old, did you say you found it 20 feet deep? If it was in Bristol UK (you don't specify), it might have Roman origins. But living in the States, I have no expertise in Roman artifacts.

Ggoogle searches of both Roman Empire brass and bronze rings turned up a number of rings with similar shoulder designs as yours.
