    Google tells me the third pic is platinum ore.

    Orsalami?
    Orsella?

    The symbol tells you that “ore” is NOT part of the answer. Keep at it. This one should be easier than Princess Summerfall Winterspring. :D Clue: Saturday, Feb. 26 (the day I posted this rebus) is a significant component in finding the answer.

    Aaaaaaargh!

    It's not a cellar, it's a cache!

    So I'm going for Johnny Cash.

    John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003)

    He got better looking as he got older.

    @JimInOz nailed it! Johnny Cash. A cache, indeed! Born Feb. 26, 1932. 90 years ago to the day that I posted the rebus. Well done!

    Bump, (again)! Consensus appears to indicate there might never be an answer uncovered, for this one.

    OK, I’ll rework this one for you.

    I’ll post the answer if no takers before bedtime (which would be quite fitting, given the answer :D)

    Just to reiterate, it’s a phrase/expression which you might use if no one suspects anything. If you do solve it, have another look at the first clue - it’ll make you do a ::facepalm2::

    The = THE
    Ella Fitzgerald = ELE
    Mint Lifesaver = MENT
    Of = OF
    Knighthood ceremony = SIR
    Trophy = PRISE

    Ergo

    The element of surprise.

    In the atomic tables, xenon-129, and cesium-129, and uranium-232, are the pertinent elements. Pray tell, if your numbers refer to atomic numbers, how do they lead the the “element of surprise”?

    Pantry, storage, cupboard, stash, CACHE. Would @JimInOz have solved it if I hadn’t added the birthdate? Only @JimInOz can know!

    The numbers are unrelated randomness.
    Have another look at the letters, and the exclamation mark :p

    The arrangement of the original clue was to make it look like an element of the periodic table, with Ah! being the 'surprise'

    Sorry! I still don’t comprehend. And it appears nobody else did, either!

    Bubbly = CAVA (Wine region of Spain)
    Tina Turner = TINA
    The= THE
    Doe = DEER
    Trophy buck = HUNTER

    Ergo:

    CAVATINA FROM THE DEER HUNTER
