[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 530150, member: 1695"] Some of it is down to blind luck, whilst other leads can come from people I meet, historical societies, google earth, and researching old parish maps. Testing random sites can also be hit and miss, though when they do prove to be holding good finds you may end up on ground that has never seen a detector before. Persistence and patience also has a big role to play, can't think of how many times I spent fruitless hours detecting a site, only to find that bucket lister coin in the last hour of detecting. I often think that if I had simply given up early on in the day, I never would have had that coin in my hand and most likely discounted the site as being cleaned out. The main thing is to have a positive attitude and simply enjoy the moment, any finds made are a bonus and reward for the effort put in. Anyway, good luck to everyone for 2020, I hope the year brings you some excellent finds. :D [/QUOTE]
