Can you read the hallmarks? If so, can you tell us what they are? If they are images only, perhaps you can photograph them for us.

Over the centuries, hallmarks have become so numerous as to make your question impossible to answer as you posed it here.

It's all about that magical moment of discovery when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I believe the 18 means 18 karat gold. The M is probably the ring size. I'd bet the farm that the crown is the manufacturer so you will have to look up gold manufacturers' hallmarks on Google.

I looked up the crown. It's for a ring manufactured in Britain. If it were silver, it would have the crouching lion hallmark. Go here for a brief rundown:

Hi  in my humble opinion,  the ring is British,  the crown denoting that,   the 18  being 18 carat  and the M is probably a date letter for the year of manufacture.   Good hunting......scmiles   Smiley Smiley Smiley
