How good of a hunter ARE you?

The main thing you need is a decent site to hunt but I think impatience and laziness such as over analyzing signals and looking for a reason not to dig hurt performance. Of course you can't always dig everything but you should dig as much as possible because you have no idea what the situation is underground. Coins and rings can be in any orientation and mixed with any kind of trash. Some signals change completely when you dig a little or even scrape the surface.

Also you need time. The more you hunt the more you will find. I think a lot of experts who say they can tell everything from the tone are probably digging a lot of junk too but they spend enough time to find some good stuff. I don't know if I'm a good hunter or not but I have patience and usually find at least 1 or 2 ok things per hunt.

Well you've been blowin' that bubble for awhile now,eh Trapper? You must use Hubba Bubba...
Seriously well thought out and stated,and true. To get "good" at anything one is usually learning constantly and applying and testing...does it work? Does it work in my areas? Does it work for me? CAN I make it work for me? Is it a step backward? Maybe it's bad info! Maybe not...
The passion for discovery as seen through a child's eyes,though done with the means of an adult. Wide eyed wonder at the artful work on a belt plate or old coin...wondering if that smashed pistol ball hit something...or someONE!
The more we know about how to get to those moments the "better" we become,no matter what it is we each choose to try to find....

I hunt parks churches schools and permissions. Permissions are where I find almost all my silver, but discovering a silver in a pounded park is truly something special. I'm not that good at it, but I keep trying.
