Been thinking back on a lot of my silver finds and one thing keeps popping up.
It usually happens when i least expect it.
I'm talking about sites where silver is scarce like a pounded park for example.
I'll be searching a site with few finds even sometimes on the verge of being silver skunked and bingo out of nowhere a silver coin.
In most of those cases i was either:
-day dreaming about things other than detecting
-or for a lack of a better term my mind was blank, thinking about nothing at all
-or i was frustrated thinking on giving up on that site, basically finding keepers now out of my mind, just thinking only on getting a McRib.
Basically i was NOT exclusively concentrating on detecting.
Could it be that in a semi-subconscious state, the subconscious takes control and directs us to an area with keepers?
An area we wouldn't search with an active logical state of mind? Or an area swept during a previous detecting session and some how missed the coin back then.
This phenomena doesn't happen all the time but enough times that leads me to believe there might be something to it.
Does this happen only to me or is this something all of us experience at times?
