CZ-3D still gets 'er done

A 100 year old, 109 acre, local public golf course closed down last week and is a public park now. The fence surrounding it is torn down now so easy access. Metal detecting was never allowed there but now it is since it is now a public park.
The golf course had been losing money for the city the last few years. The old CZ is gonna have to do until fall when the new Fisher comes out (or whatever is the latest and greatest)

Got this stuff today plus a bunch of wheats back to 1910.

Very nice.

I always wonder if the CZ's are the reason there aren't many old nickels in my area....

That's quite a haul for one day!
CONGRATS!

Wow that place is loaded!!

Have fun, you should be able to clean that place out with the CZ

I'd say your gonna find that thats a hole in one for you. Many trips to the clubhouse with pockets full of coins, etc. GL & HH!!

It's out there fellows! Go get it!

NIce finds. I know of an old abandoned golf course in my area and have always wondered about where the hot spots on a course would be. The club house area obviously stands out as the first place to go but where on the course would be the best place to try?

Golf course,.... when a golfer pulls a tee, glove or a marker from his pocket, coins and rings (golfers remove rings because of odd club grip) may come with. So the areas would be at the tee off (beginning of each hole), and the putting green (coins also used as markers,usually dimes).
Can you get a layout of the course from back in the day? They sometimes remodel the course during it's lifetime so the hole/green locations change. You have a honey hole there Lipservice, good luck.
Edit; On some courses there are refreshment carts/stations where golfers can buy hot dogs, beer etc, money changes hands there also.

I've had many people tell me how they've lost their wedding rings on the golf course.
Ive only golfed 2xs in my life (not my cup of tea).

I am on the fence and waiting for Fisher too. I have some really good sites but not getting enough depth to find silver.
The deepest thing I found in this pic was a 5" dime. The Silver & CZ Ring was at 2".
This haul was collected in one hour and I left a lot of shallow finds behind for next time. I was busy and having fun.
I know there has to be some deep stuff there.

We have an old golf course in our area but of course off limits...If it ever becomes a public park(which I doubt) will produce for years...

Heard some stories of guys hunting it at night unlawfully and personally hope they caught as it brings a bad light on the hobby....

Refreshing to hear about a place that is now open to metal detecting instead of becoming off limits to us. I hunted yesterday with a guy who is a Fisher dealer, he told me 2 things about Fisher's new machine; multi freq, December availibility, would not offer any more info..

I'll have to ask my little dealer, maybe he can add something to the mystery. I heard a while back, from a good source, that it will raise eyebrows.

that's great news,but i thought these guys were sworn to secrecy
and (f.t.p's) policy was tell what's goin' on to dealers just before roll out?
maybe i got this wrong?..just sayin'

(h.h.!)
j.t.

Old golf courses......silver mines.... :-)
Great Haul !

Years ago I used to mark my ball with a low grade 1819 large cent. At the end of one round I discovered my marker was missing from my pocket. I imagine that coin was found without the use of any machine.

I lose small coins ever year on the golf course. Small coins, shallow pockets and golf carts do not mix well.

Wow, Go. I appreciate it. I was surprised at finding such an old coin on the surface at Augusta a few years back. lol

Congrats on some awesome coins and finds!!!! Good deal!!!!
