I’ve been doing this for over 10 yrs. My first gold was the best feeling ever. I bought an Ace 250 and the first time out at the beach i found a 14k wedding band ankle deep in the shore line. Then i was hooked for life! I’ve found many gold rings over the yrs and everyone is just as surprising as the first one I found and I still get that same feeling all over again. Set ring goals for yourself. I actually find more rings when I tell myself what I want to find b4 I get to the beach or park. I tell myself I want to find 3 gold rings today and I describe each one out loud what they will look like. Most times I will end up with a gold ring when I do this. I used to drive all the way to the beach with the attitude “I probably won’t find anything”. I should’ve stayed home...and I never would find anything. Now every time I go out, I tell myself Their is something there I just have to find it and it’s been a game changer thinking this way. The gold is already yours, you just haven’t found where it’s hiding yet. Lol. Go get it. Lol.
What you described is visualization or putting an object on your vision board! It works, not sure how it works but it makes me believe a higher power is guiding me to those rings.
When i found the gold ring with the Gold coin in it, i went out that day looking for gold. It was in my mind and i followed my inner thoughts.
Here is a link to the find

Volleyball courts are my go-to for gold.
The fact that you are digging pulltabs can only mean that it will happen to you very soon! When you find a site where everyone has left the old style pulltabs, say "Thank-You." They are hiding Gold! Just for fun from now on, keep a count of how many pulltabs you're retrieved. I'll bet when you get in the one-hundred range, your first Gold will surface! Good Luck!
