A Pirate ring with very bad mojo!

[Goldstrike]

I empty my pouch before each hunt so this morning before going out, I emptied it on a trash bag and I spied this 'pirate' ring looking up at me! I did not know it was there and so my son and I had a good laugh that I missed this one! It's just a junk ring but it sure has some freaky mojo about it! Arrrggggg!!

 

[Grilled Scallops]

That's Old Stickyfingers letting you know the gold is elsewhere! Yar!

 

[senda]

A ring is a ring ! Congrats for the double find! the second look in the trash is always important

 

[togg77]

[mudpuppy]

[Goldstrike]

[Goldstrike]

K.C.H.......that's funny!! I would have liked a pic of that!. I should start a new thread on what is the freakiest/scariest/weirdest find you have ever detected? Maybe I'll start the thread on the 'Metal Detecting Forum'.

 

[Kensingtoncoinhunter]

Gold strike it looks like that bad mojo ring has already put the wammo
On you by judging on how many pull tabs your digging...You have to go downtown
and see that Gypsy woman at 34th & Vine...lmao.

Unbelievable! A bunch of supposedly grown adults acting like kids, scaring each other with spooky stories around a campfire. Its just a hunk of metal - doesn't matter what kind of face is molded into it. Its just protons, neutrons and electrons - period. Grow up and get over it!

I remember that find of yours Kensington! Freaky alright!

Hey PSS, you are a young fella, you just dont understand how us oldies roll regarding the unseen 'spirit world' we are rapidly fixing to enter soon... dont deprive us of the joy, fear and wonderment of being a kid! Being scared is what Lifes all about! one of the greatest joys of being a human,

I'm so old, I dont have any hair left to 'stand up' in those creepy 'devil find' situations, except on my back, inside my ears, and nose...My biggest scare now a days besides a lifetime fear of Bigfoots, Spiders, Ghosts, and my Wife, is hunting a totlot without a portapottie in sight....

Ahhh, fear of the wife and vast stretches of toiletless playground equipment - there's things truly worthy of our fear! I wouldn't dream of depriving you of the right to indulge in all the others - especially since you've gone to all the effort to install your tongue so expertly in your cheek! I have only one question for the Kengsington scaredy-cat (and feel free to answer yourself, Mud if you wish) . . . what would you have done if the devil ring had been 18K gold with a couple of nice diamonds for eyes?

PSS, I'm not a good gauge to go by regarding this subject... I love the scarey side of life, perhaps more than most, I was a grave digger, really, an actually grave digger who dug them by hand, spent a lot of time in boneyards all alone in the dark, deep down in the dirt...so I get pretty geeked when something out of the ordinary spiritually occurs that can make my hair stand up, think of me as a longtime 'spiritual alcoholic' in this venue...it takes quite a bit for somebody with my practice, liver, and overall body tolerance to knock me off my feet...to answer your question, to me, GOLD trumps all fears! Cash that baby in!

I'm not overtly superstitious, but I appreciate the flavor, the unseen spirit forces that may harm or protect us, I hunt for stiffs on purpose, the ones that drown in the Big Lake primarily, hopefully wearing gold....I will not play with a Ouigi board though, or a lot of other devilish things, such as Masons or the Kiwanis club, who wants to pisss away good gold hunting times raising money for orphans?... Spirits are indeed real, good and bad...you will see someday....they can lead you to gold, or death...we are such an easy mark, I bet they have their own Forum someplace posting pics of us and tips and all!

Where GOLD is concerned, I will target the people that wear it and hunt them down if I can, dead or alive...In fact, I'd pull Anton Lavey's gold teeth on Halloween at midnight without a worry in the world of any retribution...and I'd likely rob a herd of modern Druids at Stonehenge on the solstice if they were wearing gold, and acting all stupid and Hippyish...I dare say I'd make a run at snatching Mr. T's chains if the opportunity presented itself, or even the Popes golden stink pot, right there at St Peters in Rome on Easter Sunday!...televised!..snatch it out of the head alter boys hands and make a break for the door with that golden smokey football, like some sort of unintended holy firework display gone awry! I'm an all purpose spiritual opportunist when it comes to GOLD!.... I'm not a good normal Human as I've abundantly made quite clear on this Forum...

I've seen plenty of spooks, living and dead and for some reason I get a pass with them..a guy can actually be invisible to the present and past if he moves fast and quiet, and has a few heavy hitters on the good spiritual side that plow the road and cover tracks....no matter, it may be all bullcrappery, an unmeasurable and unprovable concept...but it works for me, and I really like it!... A good warning for those of you less protected and spiritually tolerant...anything of a goldish or silvery nature you find thats sort of devilly..throw it back!..this is not the realm for amateurs! And for gosh sakes, If you are ever in Rome on Easter, dont get in my way, stay right there in the pew and keep your head down...you will seriously ruin a really great post!...

You've led an interesting life, Mud. I know what you mean about looking for spooks . . . I lived for 20 years in a house where the original owner had hung himself. For a good many of those years I half expected to see old Murphy danglin' from a rope in my bathtub or in the basement - never was sure where he did it. After a while, though, of not seeing him I just gave up - figured if it hadn't happened by then it wasn't going to. I guess you could say that for a time that I wanted it to be real and was basically daring the universe to show me something to prove it . . . I heard only crickets.

Just for the record, I do love a good ghost story - the original "Woman in Black" was chilling!

I respect your answer regarding the gold, though I think Mr. T could still whoop your hairy old butt if you tried to get his bling.

Thanks Mud for the levity you've thankfully introduced to this thread! The world can be a very negative place with all the crap that's happening out there and my original post was to bring a little light heartedness and entertainment to the forum members through this item I detected. I still don't know if PSS1963 was serious or not??? No matter.......although I'll be 64 years old next month, I refuse to "Grow up and get over it"!

Hey Goldstrike - was't trying to rain on your parade at all. I love the light-heartedness and entertainment aspect of the bad mojo pirate ring thread. BTW, the photos looked really creepy with all the dirt and stuff still clinging to it - it was like moss or something. I only reacted when somebody expressed genuine fear over another find, an aluminum devil face ring (or was Kensington only kidding? - in which case I take it all back). This is the point it seemed to cross the line from fun to absurdity and that was the part I reacted to - certainly not your original post - that was great! I apologize for the confusion.

[Goldstrike]

No problem Pete! It's great to have fellow detectorists that can share the hobby, share finds and tips and have a little fun on the journey

Yup I too dug graves for a landscape company jewish grave yards they had to be buried right away. Never for got one time middle of winter digging a grave in the middle of a snow storm windy and visabilty was nil, all by myself needless to say my imagination got the best of me. And my supervisor snuck up on me and scared the .... out of me!!!!!!.
