Map Dowsing Photo Attached

[ClonedSIM]

This is an overhead shot of a public golf course than has recently been turned back to an open city park. Prior to that, it had been the only public golf course in town since the early 1920's. There was a small park attached to this golf course, also built in the 20's, and they've been merged into one very large park. In the photo I've marked the locations I've metal detected gold (in yellow) and silver (in blue,) both before and after the parks were merged. My question is, besides the areas I've already marked, is there still a large amount of silver in the park? Are there any hot spots that I haven't touched yet that I might want to focus on? Thanks in advance!

As you would guess, there are probably a lot of pocket spills around the tee boxes, club house and putting greens.

That does make the most sense, but for some reason some of the tee boxes and greens are nearly devoid of targets, at least those that weren't too deep for me to detect. You can certainly see the pattern on the left side of the image, but the good finds seem to trickle dry as you move to the east side of the park. I've also been hitting the old clubhouse hard, the large white building near the middle of the image, but I'm only coming up with newer clad, not much silver.

But then, it's a huge area. I spent nearly 2 hours just focusing on the green just to the east of the clubhouse.

Okay, a quick update on this one. I was talking to a man this morning that used to play a lot of golf on this course 30+ years ago. According to his memory, a wealthy rancher that he golfed with lost a very heavy gold ring during a round sometime in the late 70's. The man said he and the rancher looked for several hours to find the ring again but never did come up with it. The rancher even had a reward offered of $500 that he posted at the clubhouse for the return of the ring, but as far as the man I was speaking to remembers, it was never returned.

Do any map dowsers have any indication where a half-ounce or more of gold might be hiding on this course, if it's even still there? Thanks!

that would be a awesome find

Right?!? I don't know if the rancher is still alive or living around here, but I'd love to see the look on his eyes if I turned up with that ring.

Dowsing for rings can be tricky, I checked some digital photos on a beach once, one spot marked turned out to be an old copper ring with a glass stone even visible on the surface.

The red was the first place where picked anything up, but the signal is to wide so that's not likely the spot. Orange was getting some more indications, but check the orange spot with a small black circle over it, a 2nd black dot just to the right.

Logically, back in the day there was usually a beer wagon came around the course in the afternoon. Now depending on when they started golfing?? This is just a nine hole? So if they started early in the morning with say three of their buddies you can take your time and gold nine holes in a morning. Go to the club house eat some lunch and start drinking. So on average around hole number 12 they would start getting thirsty and need another drink, then about hole 15 and then hurry through hole number 18 to get back to the clubhouse for another brewsky.. I would look around the last hole logically speaking cause this is where they would probably make the most mistakes, ie. pull coins out of there pocket looking for a tee, hit the ball into the rough and have to try and find it. Then I would look at hole 15 also or 6 if its only a 9 hole course..

I see what you have marked there, and I'll get out to dig that area as soon as I get a free moment. I know the areas that you've marked pretty well, and they're right there in the middle of a large spot where a lot of other good finds have been made, so that makes sense. I'll let you know what comes out of the ground, and thanks again for taking a look at this for me!

You're right, it's only a nine-hole played twice through for a full 18. I'll have to ask around since I'm not positive how the holes here set up before the city brought the whole place down.

Ok, good luck....if you know the spots, I guess it really is all that matters.
