I don't know about you guys but I'd like an opinion on a question.
It seems to me that when I trek out detecting, most of my major finds are either within the first or the last 30 minutes of my hunt.
I've asked myself why. Is it because I'm fresh at the beginning of the hunt and deliberate in my search? Then after an hour or more, thinking, man, I gotta be 400 yards from here to a site I know can produce, that I put the rush on to get to it?
And the last 30 minutes, is it because I see in the distance that no one stole my truck so I can relax and take it easy on the way back.
Have you experienced this? I'd like to know. I really think the psychology of metal detecting has a lot to do with whether or not you find stuff. But the time frame is a key I think. Because if you can adapt to that mentality throughout your hunt, you may improve your odds!
