Hi pappy, just wondered if you might have an idea how old a ring like this is? thanks for your time

DAVE, We used to make rings like that back in the 50's with old spoon handles. Are you most sure that it is copper?

DAVE, I still think it to be made out of a copper spoon or fork handle. It was quite common to make these rings in the late 1800's through the mid 1900's. I can't put an exact date on the ring for you but I can tell you it is a VERY GOOD find and something to be proud of. Would love to know the histroy behind where you located it.

Hi pappy , i found the ring by the old catholic school here in town, it was built in about 1906, and they are adding an addition and i found it where they had disturbed some of the ground . Have a good day and good hunting .
