2 of those rings are over one hundred years old and the detector i used was x-terra 70 with stock coil.

Thanks,yes the Finnish lions are nice looking things and i also found lots of old relics and coins this year.

Awesome! How were you able to tell the age of the rings? Some of my finds have me wondering at their age, but I just thought there would probably be no way to really tell..

Inside the rings are a makers year stamp,that you can check online and oldest year stamp is from 1810. Lower middle ring,that plain one is from 1877 and lower right ring is from 1899.

That's some nice jewelry you got their, WTG

I was they would of marked old jewelry here in the US so that we could tell how old they were. If they did, I haven't found any with that type of markings.
