NS whitetail Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I found this ring, when I was about 8 years old ( 30 years ago). I was with my Dad on a rocky shoreline, while he was collecting flat rocks for lobster trap ballast, I was playing around the edge of the water. The ring was lying in the rocks on the waters edge. The ring is not gold, but I do know it is old. There have been 100's and 100's of shipwrecks off of our coastal waters over the last few hundred years. I am thinking ( or hoping lol ), that maybe it came from a shipwreck. The head on the side looks like it is wearing a Gladiators helmet and I am hoping the design on the inside can tell me something. Anyone know where I can look to find out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: could use some help Believe it or not Lewis, that is my high-school ring. Well, not mine as in mine, but you know what I mean..LOL Westlane Secondary School, Niagara Falls, Ontario. The "Spartan" was our school logo. It has changed in apearance over the years though. It used to be just the profile of the spartan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: could use some help what does it say on the inside Lewis?...I wouldn't write it off as a class ring, lost in the submarine races too quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
