RE: Powering Up and Detecting
Yes I understand that feeling and have felt it often myself. One memoriable one was a decent child's ring from around early 1900's. It struck me that the owner lost it as a child and is likely not even alive anymore.
Often class rings can be returned. Most metal detectors love to do returns. I wish I knew where your mom's ring was. I would have loved to have returned it for her. Truly.
I felt bad when I found an Irish Claddah ring.
I have returned 3 class rings. My mom doesn't even know where she lost it. So... that made it worse.
The child's ring may have actually been a lady's ring although jewelry was popular to buy infants at that time. Women were very tiny then, and their fingers very slender. So perhaps it may have been a woman's?
The Claddagh ring can be bought all over so perhaps it wasn't a good one? See one can hope! A true one is gold. Why did the Claddagh ring make you feel worse? Out of curiosity.
Well coz it was gold.
