Do you suspect that you possibly found these artifacts in an unlikely site (a non-battlefield) because it's unlikely? I know very little about treasure hunting and this thought occurred to me because I wondered if my might have some family fun getting a metal detector like yours and go scanning a nearby known battlefield. But then the other part of my brain thought (light bulb) wouldn't everybody have already been out there looking for the last 150 years and picked it clean? The site I had in mind has in the the intervening time been a golf course, a city park, and a location of a non-lethal Cristo installation.

Anyway, on an unrelated but on-topic subject, I present me three-of-a-kind entry for the month: "Easter Egg Hunt". The exciting back story: I had to avoid being trampled by actual children when shooting these "hidden" eggs in the younger-than-kindergarten category of the event.

In my day, we often used actual dyed hens' eggs, but modern children are considerably more motivated by these plastic ones containing candy and trinkets. (Also they don't rot if left unfound for a year.)

Thanks for posting! Nice flowers.

I think you want to enclose your image in "img" tags . . .



. . . for it to show up directly on the forum.I don't know about everyone else, but it wasn't showing for me. TMO can be weird about pictures in other ways, too.

FWIW, it was showing for me correctly the first time (about 2 hours ago) but now I can only see the pic in Rob's follow-up. Weird indeed.

A very broad interpretation of "three of a kind" three "edges": cliff, land, horizon. Taken last Sunday with the Xperia XZ1.
