putting together something...

What information is most relevant when you guys record your finds?
Date of when you found it?, location?, what it was you found?

Things like that. I am trying to make a little chart for my stuff and I am trying to get a general idea of what everyone thinks is important info to keep record of.

I record how much trash I collect so I can send the bill to the city for expenses.

Hello,

I have a somewhat complicated excel spreadsheet that has all my finds/notes/google maps of the beaches I hunt. I love statistics so I am always trying to think of ways to keep track of what I find.

Personally I like to know if I found it in the wet/dry (I have a google map of the beaches I hunt and put X where I found something important), low/high tide (for wet finds), the date, plus less important items I cant think of.

I think the key to start tracking is the date and location, but since the beaches change so much I use mine more as a rough guide than anything else as each time I go out I will find something and think, hey your not supposed to be here.

Curious to see what other people say.

interesting. I am actually putting together a project of sorts. More details later on that. I have looked at some of the tracking programs. And so far all I can really think of is

date of find
location
property type
terrain type
state/country
the detector used
the equipment used

type of find and related information to it

I just feel like stuff is missing. lol

Outward, seems like you got it pretty well covered. The only other thing might be signal variance and depth.

Ah! Signal variance is excellent! As was depth. Thanks!
