The Quest for Gold and Silver Continues for 2011 ...

Hello Gang,

I went out for a few hunts this week mostly with the MXT and yesterday with my water machine. Flagler Beach was populated with sun bathers and retirees as the temp got up to about 80. I hunted with the water machine and found a nice silver ring, the one on right and a Saint whatever medal. Today I pounded a elementary school with the MXT and the 6x10 DD coil and found a nice purity ring silver that says "love can wait". The small pendant with the heart is 14K gold and the bright shiny ring on right is a 7 gram stainless steel woman's ring. I liked the Susan B Anthony $1 coin found under a chin up bar and a nice heart shaped locked with a pic of someone inside. Also found another junk ring really wanting to be a chunky gold with diamonds and emeralds. My Tevas are well broken in from last year and the tan striping is reforming on the feet. No picture of that! Between yesterday and today the sun has changed me to the duller side of red. Today managed to pull in over $11 in clad not counting those darn pennies ! Summer is here for this week, but I am looking for spring ! Have a great and safe holiday and post some good pics. EZ
 
Fun for sure! What a nice variety of items and piles of clad. Keep building that tan. Glad someone can! HH, Nancy

CCH.

Today I came across an interesting story about the design of the ring with the heart, crown and hands. Seems an Irishman from the 16th or 17th century was pressed into service with a pirate crew before having a chance to marry his sweetheart and while away learned goldsmithing. He created the design to represent (heart) love, (crown) loyalty, hands (friendship). Several years later, he returned and gave the ring to her and wed. If you look on Lost Treasure's tip of the day(story changes daily) there is more details.
 
I didn't notice one of your rings was a Claddogh ring, here is more interesting information on it.

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
 
Wow!!

I am impressed with the information regarding the Claddagh ring. I did not know the background information you both have provided, even that there is history behind the design. Thank you for taking the time to educate me on the ring. It now has much more significance to it. Once again.... Thanks. Marty
