My first Three ringer!
Yeah! A Three ringer! Okay, so it’s not a Civil War Vintage Projectile, but it gave me a shot... of adrenaline! What I thought was a nickel or a pull tab, according to my White’s Prizm IV, turned out to be this funky little ring. Three actually, all intertwined on themselves.
You just never know what you’re going to pull out of the ground when you’re metal detecting do you? Like the old saying goes.. “DIG EVERYTHING” Well I dug it.. and I “dig” it. Too bad there are no hallmarks or stamps or any engraving to be found anywhere on the ring..er.. rings. I doubt seriously that it’s made of any kind of precious metal like silver or gold or platinum. I still think it’s cool though. Definitely the highlight of today’s hunting.
I found other things of course, at both the Tot Lot at the park and at the baseball complex. There were the usual stuff.. pull tabs and can slaw and other bits and pieces of metal. One big honking signal turned out to be some sort of door lock fixture, I don’t know what else to call it, it is the big heavy ring that mounts on the door and the lock mechanism is inside of it.
Then there was the lipstick tube.. maybe it’s mabelene ? Along with the buttons and snaps and zipper pulls I found one big snap clip with part of a rope still attached. Guess Rover got loose by chewing the rope or something.
I found a few goodies today too. Truly lost treasures.. of some child or another, but treasures all the same. Some were found with the detector, some found because I was detecting. We all make “eyeball” finds while detecting. Unless we walk around with our eyes closed that is. If I’d have done that I’d have missed poor little flipper the dolphin (porpoise) .
Yeah.. a plastic porpoise.. another fine addition to my growing menagerie of plastic animals and figurines found while detecting. That reminds me, I REALLY need to build some kind of shadow box to put this stuff in, my computer is beginning to get crowded!
My wife is not as amused by my collection as I am though. Yeah.. need to build that shadowbox. Sometime. She doesn’t mind so much, all the coins I find and bring home from metal detecting outings. Imagine that! I added a little more to the Vacation fund today too, not as much as the last few outings, but then anything is a bonus isn’t it? Lots of pennies found today, and dimes. It all adds up!
That would be another couple of gallons of gas for our trip to the beach in a couple of weeks. Wish the beach was a little bit closer to home, wouldn’t spend as much on gas to get there. Of course I’ll be taking my detector too.. maybe even finding some goodies in the sand, or some clad to pay for some gas on the way home too. One can hope anyway. Hope you all get to get out and have a little fun soon too. As always..
