OK, so how many of you believe in a power, a FORCE if you will, that often guides a hunter toward the good stuff? I bring up for discussion the uncanny ability some hunters have that always seems to guide that coil over the best targets.
For those who hunt often with fellow hunters this force is more noticeable although It can be seen by the lone Jedi as well. For years I had attributed this ability, often called "luck", to experience in knowing where to look. I'm sure this plays a role in success but there are times when knowing where to look isn't a factor. In an open field comes to mind yet the coil yielding Jedi somehow manages to pull the good stuff out of the backside.
As I've stated before when our group hunts we always try and call everyone over to check a potential target. This not only helps each hunter to learn how their detector responds to a target, but it can build confidence in your detectors ability. So John, Cassey and I have yet to find a really good target that all detectors could not find so this would mean there are no real advantages, in most cases, from the detector. Yet again, the Jedi always manages to find the good stuff.
As a Jedi I have experienced or felt the presents of the force many times even when alone. That little voice(possibly Yoda?) that says "Let go your feelings, use the force" and look over there. I have learned that following that voice, more often than not, turns out to be the right thing. I have turned up some really good stuff following only that voice. What seems odd is that future returns to that same location and exhaustive hunts reveals I was guided to the only good stuff from the start.
I think there is a bit of Jedi in us all and in time we learn to use the force. How about yourself, ever use the force while detecting?
May the Force be with you!

I have no one to hunt with, I have tried with my son and hubby but they are not into it. So I am a lone hunter who is guided to TRASH 90% of the time. However, I got on the UK site the other night and found a farm land program for the DFX. After sitting around and loading all the long A** settings I went out in the dark and ran it over a small area, lots of beeps and bops but when I threw a dime down she went off the scale. This is the first time I have been able to see a noticeable difference in the discrimination. I have no idea what two thirds of the settings mean and I definitely screwed up when it came time to do the block edit thingy with reject and accept. It said reject -31 to -95 & +95. Then I hit the wrong edit thingy and thats the setting I messed up BUT I might have accidently created my own program that is totally awesome and will find me the treasures of Delaware. Time will be the true test of that statement. 
I would like to work with an "expert" seeker and have found a club in my area, my question is this....I have acquired quite a few properties with loads of potential, if I join a club do we give up those properties for the good of all or do we not share and be mean and selfish? I would feel really bad after all the time I have spent cleaning out the trash only to have a Jedi come onto my properties and clean up the good stuff with me crying on the sidelines 
I haven't joined yet and I am still thinking this one out, any suggestions would be welcome
