Go back to a spot you've had some success with and hunt the SAME 50 x 50 foot area. AND, do this AT LEAST 3 times and on different days!
I do tend to do a random hunt the first time, then the 2nd time, (if it's shown promise), I'll grid it out. But, I do tend to get a bit too rushed and start doing the old, "Too loud!" "Too Big!" "Can!" "Iron!" "definitely a pull tab!" type skips on signals. Lastly, the 3rd time through? I dig EVERYthing! (except a foil/canslaw/iron signal ).
If you go back and do the absolute best you can each time, you'll learn something about your hunting habits and your machine.
I did this on purpose the last 3 times out. Here's what I found in the same exact spot, after 3 times!
Now, remember, I'm not a rookie. I know how to hunt. Even so, I STILL found these coins where I KNOW I had passed my coil before. Some of the signals I can even remember saying "foil!" and skipping. Some, I must've just swung the coil AROUND the spot the other times. The signals were too easy to totally miss.
Yep! Two Wheat toasts to go. 47 & 51-s
They were deep and gave a deep hit of 80.
Still, I'd been here many times!
These two rides were particularly enlightening for me. I do recall skipping these because of it being surface/loud/obnoxious/iron/canslaw hits. I just did not feel like digging up another frigging can! ALL 3 TIMES!! LOL
Not only were they not any of that, they were BOTH in the same hole!! (A pocket vehicle spill?)
So, try it sometime. Go back to a spot you have ABSOLUTELY covered! Then, and this is important, don't just gloss over the area with assumption that you know there's nothing there. Do a few minutes serious, deep hunting. You might be surprised at what turns up.
I taught a friend of mine this lesson by following along behind him one day. Finding and showing him what he missed! LOL
Hope it helps someone.
Thanks for peeking!
