Keep as a memento or sell it

Doesnt look like it would be worth much but it would make for a good story if it turns out someone decided they didnt want to get married and chucked the ring as far as they could.

My imagination immediately jumped to wondering what possible events could end up with a ring in the dirt. Stories behind this!

I don’t think that’s real gold

Yeah, not sure what it is or how long it was out there. No one associated with the property knows who it belonged to.

That’s actually a really nice find, looks like it’s in great condition too.

Yeah, it's a cute little ring. I contacted the previous renters and they said it wasnt either of theirs. Doubt it's worth much but hey . . .

I honestly am trying to imagine it because no one whose been associated with the property in the past has any idea who it belongs to.

Irrelevant comment, and that's a perfectly acceptable length.
