How does everybody mark off detected areas as you go? I use a pine cone or a small stick and keep moving them each pass

I have used similar things also. An orange is great as dogs wont grab it like a tennis ball (lots of oranges grown here ). In general I find a nearby rock that's not too heavy to move.
However, in a field thats big, overgrown with weeds &/or up & down terrain = I made some "flags" that I stick in to follow. I took some welding rod, cut to about 2 feet, bent the top to take a colored ribbon. Stick these in and follow. Steve in so az

I use an garmin etrex GPS to mark my in and out spots, then when I return I just start where I left off... it's pretty good to about 7 feet in accuracy, though by no means as good as a physical marker, I have tons of sites saved and know what part I've been detecting.

Similar method here...
I use a couple of coin probes which are white. I carry 6 of them.
If I'm in sand or bark or pea gravel, just a scuff mark here and there with my foot.

I haven't needed to but then again my hunts are tot lots and beaches so there's really no sense to do that for me. However, if I were doing a large area such as an old homestead, farm, etc. I would buy a pack of those tiny little orange marking flags. I have thought of doing that if that day ever came for me.

Horizon....
If I am hunting in grass, I usually check the horizon and find something to line up with. I try to stay in a straight line, and check my horizon mark every so often. If I am hunting in dirt, I can usually see my foot prints from the previous pass!

Just pick an object out in front and walk to it. Turn around and do the same thing. Sort of like Army map reading school.
