Hello everyone!

Just got back from a long vacation in Europe, and was itching to go for an outing! I was surprised to learn how many European countries have banned casual metal detecting, or even owning a metal detector, so I left mine at home just to play it safe. After a long flight, and a day of rest, I walked out to one of my favorite spots, and saw that beach conditions were pretty good, so I whipped out the excalibur and got busy. Found 2 silver rings, some clad, a shark's tooth, a lot of pull tabs, and a surprising amount of copper (including a hoop earring and key, grouped in the bottom right corner). The flower ring is stamped 925 (barely legible), while the other is too beat up, but I'm fairly sure is silver by color and patina, but I'll let you judge. Without further ado, haul pics:

Two ringy dinghys nice job I like the
Claddagh ring looks like it’s been under for sometime!
Never knew what a claddagh ring was until today, you learn something new every day!
Close up of the floral ring mark, if anyone can provide more info, I could make out the 925 at least:
