I've been at Turtle Trail for the past 3 days enjoying the erosion with the crowd of detectorists. Didn't have much luck until today. I found a Claddagh ring. It appears to have been there a while, long enough to get a little green inside the band. My first reaction was is this old (1715 fleet) but with a close look I saw the 10K in the band. The funny thing is today the beach was somewhat sanded in compared to the previous 2 days. Also very few detectorists today compared to the crowd over the weekend and that crowd had the latest and greatest detectors. I brought my old Minelab Sovereign XS 2A Pro detector with a pair of new headphones my niece sent to me designed to be used for music listening. It has a 550 meter that I calibrated to a US quarter and when I got a TID of 387 I had to check my chart that I wear around my neck that said small yellow gold ring. I said to myself "yeah right" as I dug and sure enough that's what it was. The other little piece of metal is something I have to clean. Goes to show you never know.
