The pic of all the finds is that of 3 different locations on 2 days of detecting. Most of what was found was at a school playground that I had passed and never seemed to be able to be there when the kids were gone. I want to thank Betty for her suggestion - get a copy of the school schedule and find when the schools are closed (spring break started this week).
Some items (including the golf balls were from a city park playground and grassy area near the play area. (Someone had driven their car into the play equipment and the play area was roped off with orange fencing.)
The third area was another elementary school that I kept passing and forgetting about. I thought this one would produce a lot of stuff but didn't. (Must be a local detectorist nearby because even the city park that is nearest it with its playground and many volley ball sand courts have produced nothing on the trips I made to it.)

Even had 2 sets of keys on keyrings. The opal looking ring came up on the detector scren as Iron but for grins I dug the iron signal anyway otherwise I'd have missed that one. The gold ring can't be solid gold - maybe plated sinte the inside is pitted and has green in it - can't read any markings because of the pitting and corrosion. The dolphin ring is the 2nd one I have found. The little golden hearts charms may be gold - hard to tell without the rest of the becklace or bracelet that it cam off of but sure is shiny like gold.
All totalled I had the 1 silver 1958 dime, 7 quarters, 15 dimes, 12 nickles and 69 pennies for a total of $3.94. 6 rings, 1 x shaped earring, 2 cars - one is a Lexus SC430, a needle valve for blowing up balls, the face to a Craola Crayon wrist watch and a bunch of buttons and snaps and zipper tongues from coats plus other items and trash as well. A lot of digging. Even had some hits I gave up on trying to find - even with the pinpointer.
Maybe if I'm lucky I can get out again today.
