I got permission over the weekend to hunt an old country club that has been turned into a subdivision, and the club house and pro shop as office spaces. The grounds around the club house are fairly big, The 1st and 10th hole tee boxes are still there, along with the driving range berm and the putting green. Theres a lot to hunt there and keep me busy as long as the owners will let me come when its convenient. Im also thinking that its virgin dirt
I started out today with random patterns between high traffic areas, and open places that people dont frequent. I was really surprised by the number of wheats I found (13) which is a personal best for me during a single hunt (The oldest is a 1919)
One of the silver rings was found on the side of the club house, while the larger ring was near the #1 tee box. The smaller ring has the .925 mark and rang up as a 26-27, while the larger ring has no marking, but rang up 32-33 on the 800. I think its silver and an amateur jewelers project due to the way the metal appears.
The ball mark was a nice find since I cant remember seeing one made of metal, and Im thinking its vintage. The Bittersweet golf club is located in Gurnee IL, so I think Ill send them a pic to see if I can get a better date on it. Not sure what the hammered token is. It looks like GREEN RIVER is embossed on one side, and a possible horse embossed on the other. Im curious what the hammering was for, and the reason for the several cut coins I found today.
Thanks for looking, and HH!
