just a little info in which i find works for me, and has on many occasions 
now this is intended for the beginners of course, the md-ers that have been around for awhile no this,,,,,,
Quite some time ago now i was md-ing with an old boy called pete, he's no longer in this world today and i miss that guy alot. he really new his hunting and had a great sense of feeling for where stuff would proberly be in a certain location,, you could be anywhere and he would look around and go straight to a certain area of the grounds and if there was anything sure enough he would get it or me,,, he taught me how to do this over a long period of time,,, he would say ok we walk onto a piece of land where we know once stood a old ruin or some type of forgotten village once was near,, we look around and we take notice of the trees that are new and the trees that were most likely there then, and other landmarks, then we start to think like they did,, we have somthing we want to hide,, not to difficult as we want to retreive it at a later date, and not be seen.... so where would you hide somthing out here,,, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm you start to look around and visualise how they saw it,, maybe under the old tree over there looks to be around 300 years old maybe maybe off to the side of the old crossroad path,, with this in mind we would hunt these areas first,,,,
now if nothing was found we would venture out along the sides going more into open land as the tree line could have been cut back some time ago,, your quickening your chances of stuff instead of just doing layout lines from the start of where you first entered the land,, ie grid walking.
before you leave home try to do some old map checking see what was there as far back as you can go, and see if anything remains and the land is still vacant not built up,,, what kind of people would have been there how would there minds of worked if they would hide anything and where,,, this all contributes to what could be there and what youre most likely to find,, although on the odd occasion you may find somthing you dident expect to find..
take the wreck divers,,, they go to the wreck and around the wreck area they know there is gold silver coins and jewlery to be had somwhere in that area that is what they expect to find and do,,,,
the same accounts are for the land, if you do your homework,,,
alot of people just coin shoot and there happy with that,,, they'll just wonder about any piece of land that they can go on or whats close to home for them,,, if they stumble on somthing good cool way ta go..
but you can get ahead even if youre just starting out,, and you dont need an expensive machine either, stay in the middle of the road prices and you'll be ok,,, ive seen it time and time again where md-ers using like say 4-5-6 & 700$$ machines have outclassed the users who invest in much more expensive machines,,,if you look at all the great finds that have been documented you will see they were not found with expensive machines like minelab explorers and the top whites like dfx,, although good machines you dont need pay that price,we used to call them posers in the uk, just the same as when i used to do fishing competitions i would sit there and bag up heavey and sometimes win the day on wieght and i was using middle of the road priced rods and equipment yet kickin ass,, now they dident like that i was always being asked why dont you get some better gear "why do i need to spend another 1000, when i kick ass with what i have and it serves me well. i myself have used whites, `c-scopes, minelabs, and now tesoro,, at the moment iam using a tesoro cibola a fantastic lightwieght machine, before that i used a x terra 50 from minelab another great machine, that was stolen another story,, i will replace it soon...
remember thoe it takes time to learn your machine you will not conquer it over night,,,if you do your mapping and take time out to servey land and what was there and when, and what still is you'll have more fun and you'll be learning your machine without getting frustrated and getting good finds,,.
remember theres alot of good finds to make out there do your homework and enjoy.
