You and I are similar hunters--gridding off an area to make sure we get all of the good finds there. When you hunt lots of area, you have to grid it off. Many detectorists don't realize this. Otherwise, the though of what you missed will give you cold sweats at night!
Some of it is slow, but that's the way it goes. You've had some Incredible finds here recently. Now you're doing your penance.
Keep it up.

I agree with gridding off an area if you have the time, and the field has delivered some nice finds. I usually don't have the time to grid it off, but if I can see my footsteps (rolled ground) then walking first north-south, then east-west and then again on a diagonal to the footsteps works good for me. I guess this is the poor man's gridding.
I usually do this for every field, again 1) if I have the time 2) I have found something good or interesting.
If there are good finds and I have the time I have gridded off a few fields (small ones). First run n-s say 40 finds, e-w run then about 15 finds, and diagonally about 5. Just an estimate.
