Tony,
The cannon is actually very rare - those ones are found in London by Mudlarks in Thames,
Those toys from 1800ss and there were a variety of Firing toys- miniature guns, muskets ETC....
By Historical Value the Toy will be Higher than 18 CT ring. and , in My opinion, this time the area should be Surveyed for more old finds and other non metal artifacts.

Give a call to Museum and have a chat.

The ring does look like a claddagh ring. Maybe its masonic.
