Whenever I metal detect in wide open spaces, I tend to grid the whole place. I think I'm doing it wrong; how do you guys metal detect such places?

fmerg said:being i do a lot of farm fields i maybe able to help ya a little
what id do is look for the way any equipment would be brought into the field or were gates would of been and use that as my starting point
then i just meander around till i find some thing good
i mark the area and continue meandering
i do this for the first few times to the field
after that i look to see if there is any pattern to my finds (ie all in a straight line or at one end of the field)
then i start to grid the areas were i have found the most
when i think i am done with that area i grid the closes areas and work out from there
hope this helps
Thats pretty much what I do in a farm field also, in like an old sporting field I also wander about. I bet I would find more if I stayed in a pattern, But would probably be over concerned with staying in line and probably not hear a signal.
