Making decisions

Well all I was right proud of myself today. I went to the beach and it was well sanded and moved to another area and it was less. I worked for 1 hr and turned up a pair of toy cars and set of keys and clad change of .32. I thought well I will move and did after lunch One hour looking-several waiting on rain to leave)to another area. I went to the beach walked out and thought immediately it is way to sandy. I stuck the scoop striaght down and came up with nothing but sand at the waters edge. I hit area for very short period and moved again. Ditto there also. Went back to original beach which while slim picking was producing something. Immediately turned .52 and than another toy car. found several scraps off the shuttle ( as I am told this is whatt they are) and went home. When I got in the truck irealized instead of wasting countless hours I made a decision to stick with what had worked even if it was little bit of action. I actually hit the area first thing based on the readings I had made on the slope and scoping the beach. I Md'd with my head and not blindly.
I know this sounds trivial to many but it was the first time I ever really thought and made a game plan and stuck to it. As we are well sanded here it did produce even though mostly trash. I also made a effort to slow everything down and cover less ground and concentrate on covering the area that was producing. I think most would have stopped long before I did but It is good excercise and did me no harm in continuing.
I thank all of you that offer different insight into the sport and the knowledge you had to learn on your own. There are some of us that listen and try to make the knowledge useful to our searching.
Now if I can only learn to super tune this darn machine. I have read the instructions numerous times but cannot get it to produce the same tone acknowledging that it is in this mode. I am hard headed but will figure it out.
The post the other day for the web site was very helpful to me and I appreciated the share of this and really gained a lot of knowledge from reading many of the post.
Hope all had better day than I did find wise, but it cannot be more pleasure than that I had today.
 
Way to go. I feel I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to trying different ideas learned from this site.

Never stop learning and trying new things pays off.:clapping:

Those are tough decisions to make sometimes. One thing I've noticed is that I don't enjoy what I have in front of me, even if it's very little, when I'm thinking about trying a different beach. In my early days I used to hunt with a pack of wild detectorists that would jump from one beach to another on a whim. That turned out to be too hectic for me.
