Rescued this 14-K Gold Ring Saturday from the 2" root level with a 14 signal using coin/jewelry mode standard DD coil and sensitivity at 15. Picked up a 1943-D Mercury dime and 1957 Wheat cent at other locations but at 6" to 7" level. 
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my loyalty." or "You hold my heart in your hands, and I crown it with my love." Yet, the expression, "Let love and friendship reign forever" can be found as another meaning for the symbols.
"With this crown, I give my loyalty, With these hands, I offer my service, With this heart, I give you mine" has been a popular expression when exchanging the ring in marriage.
The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended to convey the wearer's romantic availability, or lack thereof. The ring is worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward to show that the wearer is not romantically linked but is looking for love. When turned inwards, it is shown that the wearer is in a relationship, or their heart has been "captured"; the heart points down the hand and into the veins which lead to the wearer's heart. The ring worn on the left hand with the heart facing outward shows the wearer is engaged; turned inward indicates the wearer is married.
