A little beach silver!

[dirtdigger1581]

Went to the beach at low tide...4am. Hit it hard for two hours and here's what I have to show for it. Found the earring in the parking lot sitting in a puddle while I was packing my gear in. Enjoy the pics and happy hunting to all!

You did good . That is a beautiful Claddagh ring .Congratulations!!
The story of the Claddagh is so romantic. Long ago a young man was captured and sold into slavery from the fishing village of Claddagh. Many years passed and he wondered if his true love would wait for him. Over the years he stole tiny bits of gold from his master to make her a ring. He fashioned a heart for love, a crown for loyalty and hands as a symbol of friendship. After many years he finally returned home to Claddagh. Upon his return and to his joy he discovered his true love had waited for him. He gave her the ring as a symbol of their love, loyalty and friendship forever known now as the Claddagh

I always wonder where they get the names for some of the jewelry. I was just going to google Claddagh just to find out if it what it meant. Great story. Could be turned into a chick flick.Pete HH
