Last Friday I was itching to get out despite the miserable weather we’ve been having. I took off right after work and hunted for 2.5 hours. Went through a couple of wind-driven rain pelting sessions and as the tide was getting high and the surf was making it difficult I called it a day and went home.

After another week of miserable weather, conditions finally improved yesterday for a planned outing. I took the equipment with me to work and got permission from the boss to get out a bit early. I was out hunting at 2 pm with low tide being at about 4 so that was good. Other than the middle part of the hunt, there weren’t that many targets. It was around this time that the religious black stainless ring that sounded so good showed up and within an hour after that I hit the crucifix in an offshore sand bar. I knew from the tone and how nice it was that it was going to be silver. I just can’t figure out the language on it. So if any of you pirates can ID it please let me know. (I thought it may be Russian). The weather has been consistently less than good for about 3 weeks so I’m hoping things will start to turn around soon. I also didn't see another pirate in the section of South Beach I worked yesterday - a VERY rare feat!

Hmm, seems to have posted twice.

I know what an air conditioner and a computer have in common.

When you open windows, they both stop working.

I believe it's a Russian Orthodox Crucifix. Neat find!

Thanks guys for both of you confirming my suspicions. I Googled "Russian Orthodox crucifix" and it leads to similar ones. That adds credence to all the crappy kopecks I find at Miami Beach as well. :roll:
 
That might just be a message Felix. Looks like a bunch of dead pirates under Jesus's feet.

Matthew 6:21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
 
Hmm. It is getting “Curiouser and curiouser!”, Felix. I found this in the water two weeks ago (and no, it is not gold, it is slightly magnetic). It seems universal forces are trying to shout something to us.

Nice cross. I've found a dozen or 2 of those rings in various languages. They all sound the same hitting the side of the garbage can
