So,ok.What ya call it when you do a trifecta 3 times in a row?

[WHADIFIND]

Two of 'em are costume but, still! LOL

I do seem to be on some sort of a roll, don't I. LOL

The one ring taught me something about my AT-Pro too. I had wondered just how deep it was picking up things in highly mineralized ground. This area was ground tuning at about 87! Pretty high I'd say!

Anyway, I got a fairly stable/repeatable 79/80 and figured a penny. A deep one because it said it was pretty deep.
I pulled the deep plug and scooped out dirt twice before I got down to where I could see the target. (sometimes I sort of play with my digs. Kind of do an archeological type dig. So, I can see how the target was lying in the hole when the detector made contact).

What I saw first was this:



Could just see the top of the ring, it was laying flat in the hole, and:




Almost a full 8-9 inches! I guess I got my answer. I think that is pretty impressive in this ground!


Here's the rest:






It says "The Franklin Institute"




Pretty nice day, even if I do say so my own self! LOL

Thanks for peeking!

Nice finds and always love your play by play descriptions WHADIFIND.

WHDIFIND - let me start by saying nice finds! I'm not sure that the item engraved the Franklin Institute is a ring... It kind of looks like a thumb pick like what would be used on a banjo. Interesting though - the Franklin Institute goes back to 1824 in Philadelphia. It's a science museum. I'd like to see what everyone else thinks... HH!

Thumb pick, shmumpick. It's metal and in a circle to be worn on a digit. It might be a ring used to play a banjo, but it's a ring in any case. LOL

That's my story and I'm shtickin' to it!

Why you wanna rain on my tri-tri-fecta parade? LOL Anyone else get 3 rings? 3 days in a row? HA ha LOL

1824 huh. Wow! Didn't think it was that old!!

Thanks!
HH!

As am I. I consider myself quite blessed! I've been on a roll for a bit.
If I get just one good find a day I am a happy camper. I know too well the "other side of the coin".

It was just extra special, finding 3 rings, three times out. LOL

Thanks!
HH!

OMG, I hate that general grumpy attitude I get when I, 1) haven't hunted for awhile 2) haven't found anything interesting or valuable.

I've really on the verge now. Good thing the weekend is coming.

Haha in the NHL a "natural" hat trick is when the same player scores three consecutive goals for their team in the same game.

As opposed to a standard hat trick, which is 3 nonconsecutive goals by one player in one game, and a Gordie Howe hat trick, which is a goal, an assist, and a fight by the same player in one game.

Natural hat tricks are far harder to attain than standard and Gordies
