Quirrell stops short the field trip in chapter 40, saying something’s come up that requires he be elsewhere, soon after Harry shows him the symbol (and that’s the only real news for Quirrell that’s shown). Strongly suggests that Quirrell knows where an object is with that symbol and, now he knows what it is, is going to fetch it.
If the backstory is the same as canon, Riddle in fact did gain possession of the ring that held the stone without immediately knowing it for what it was. Chapter 27 has a reference to a ring that tends to confirm that the backstory is, indeed, same as canon.
It’s possible that Quirrell was unsuccessful in obtaining the object, but the most likely scenario is he went and got it without trouble and now has it.
I didn’t actually spot that last one. Where should I be looking?

Also Ch. 77:
I’m guessing what Quirrell lied about is that it was months ago, rather than just about one month ago...
I assumed they were referring to the Philosopher’s Stone, which (at least in canon) is hidden in the third floor corridor.
Ah, I was confused, thought Resurrection Stone and Philosopher’s Stone were the same thing.
No—one extends life and turns lead to gold, the other resurrects the dead.
He has that stone too? And Dumbledore doesn’t know it? That would surprise me.
Me neither. I was going with ‘Harry has it’.
Possibly Harry will swap it for Dad’s Transfigured rock when the bad guy isn’t looking?
