A working weekend, and a sneak away for a quick hour and a half hunt. Hit an out of town park that I hunted twice before and previously found a nice copper bracelet. I was excited to be able to get away as the work wasn't looking very profitable. The park has 3 baseball fields among other features. I started with the one I thought got the most business. I didn't find a whole lot, 3 clad dimes, so strolled over to an area I thought would be missed by of my comrades that I know work this park. I was right, Quarter, dime, dime RING. lol +75 VDI on my MXT Pro. When I dug it, I knew unmistakably,it had to be silver. But I had never seen a piece like this.

When I finally got home tonight, I looked it up.

It's an Irish Claddagh Ring.

Claddagh ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One just like it, is listed on eBay.

RARE Sterling Silver Signed PSCL Celtic Three Part Claddagh Ring Inseparable | eBay

It weighs in at 8.19 grams. And other than needing a good bath and cleaning, is in great shape.

I really was fretting not having more hunt time this weekend, but this certainly made up for it. I also dug a junk ring and $1.22, in clad, a tad shy of the $1.50 coffee was selling for at the place I was working. :-(

The luck of the Irish prevailed, because in the last hour of work today, we doubled our revenue for the day. I know there is some Irish in my mangled Gene Pool.

We have no shortage of dry river banks up here. Just let me know, if I'm available, and the wife is okay with it, I'm game.
