Loonies & Twonies!!

[Michigander Dan]

Went to a soccer field the 1st wk. of March ( Just got the camera working again ) where there were many fields and found all these Canadian $ !.00 ( loonies ) and $ 2.00 coins and one 1967 Can dime, sorry forgot to flip coin over to reverse to show the schooner ( Could have it have been there all winter? Must of been a traveling team from the North ) they seemed to be recent drops as they were between one and three inches deep. They are not old but interesting though. Even found the coaches whistle and US clad. I also found my first ring, not sure what it is made of even though photo looks copper, I don't believe it to be copper.

Very nice! Although you should post this in Michigan finds rather than forums. The ring appears to have significant wear like someone wore it daily for quite awhile. Could be rose gold over silver. Nice nine dollar recovery in only six coins. I hope that you searched the rest of the field. How very ... "Loonie"

That's quite a haul there. I would say that the field has hosted MANY Canadian teams over the years to have amassed THAT many...
The ring is called a "claddagh" ring. It is an Irish "promise ring" kinda thing.. (I Think, it may be used for engagements too.. I forget)

Here's another example of your ring.

Wow, a "Claddagh Ring". Seems to be a better find than originally thought and thanks for the photo link on similar one Diggit. It is of a quality metal & very solid, not a cheap kids ring.

Hello Dan, I found one of those rings a couple years ago on the beach on Lake Huron, just a bit north of port Huron. If you check my profile, then click on
my pictures, you will see a picture of it. You did pretty good on the loonies and toonies for one haul.

Your ring seems to be in a little better shape than mine Ray. Too bad they didn't have the diamonds on them like the previous poster's ( Diggit ) link had. They both made of little better metal than some cheap kiddie rings but a good replica of the real deal...a teenager's ring. Thanks for showing Ray.
