Hello to all!
I got out both days this weekend. It was cold but no rain at least. It was fun to be out there.
My best day was Saturday for keepers at least. I hit a schoolyard early in the morning and finally hit the abandonded golf course that I have been eyeing later in the morning.
At the school I managed a very this white gold ring, kids ring, $4.04 in clad - 43 coins and a few trinkets. Here's the pics of those finds.
Unfortunately, they started scraping and earth moving at the golf course over the past two weeks. I tried to get in there three weekends ago when it was warm but it was too muddy to park so I went else where. Bummer, I really wanted to hit around the clubhouse area and the first and last tees and greens. All that was left was part of the first or tenth tee area so thats where I concentrated and did really well. My best find, a nice 14kt gold ring with a nice star sapphire and diamond chips. Sweet! I also dug a hug sterling ring with a red stone, nice. One sweet surprise a standing liberty quarter. I was juiced digging that. When I saw it in the bottom of the hole, I was smiling for sure. I love those coins and it's been 20 plus years since I found one. It's very worn but I can barely see the date 1923 S. I also got two roosevelt silver dimes and a few wheaties and a bunch of golf markers and divit repairers. It was really muddy treking out and back to that search area but well worth it. I will try to get back there again and see if I can get some more finds. Here's some shots of those finds.
I'll post Sundays finds below...

It's funny how the jewelry man gets stoked by an old coin and ho hums the rings. I would be the other way around. 
It is cool you can read the date on that SLQ. I found three last year and only one of the three had a date.
