Does anyone else do this?

After I finish my coffee I'm going back out into the front yard and go back over it at a right angle to my previous search. I've been doing this for years with various detectors, and always find stuff in a hole or very near a hole that I dug the previous day.

That is called "gridding," and successful hobbyists have been doing it since the 1950s.. Good reminder though!
