I want to thank the folks here who contributed to this thread.
The human brain and body,, it is different to a degree when we compare ourselves to others.
Some of what I said in this thread,,the examples I used about myself,,,could be considered in a sense cramming.
How does this term " cramming" relate to metal detecting.
Consider this.
Take a person who detects and receives a new to them detector-- a detector they have never used.
Would they learn more about the detector detecting for 12 hours a day for 5 days = 60 hours total ???
Or would they learn more using the detector for 5 hours a day for 12 days = 60 hours total??
I say they will learn more using the second scenario above.
Remember back in our school days,,the term cramming???
Why was a person cramming to begin with??? Was it to catch up,, like maybe they hadn't spent enough time studying or reviewing the needed material to begin with???
Can this talking about all this,,,be related to a person who does get a new detector.
I mean when reading here,,and don't worry I'm guilty too,,,when a person gets a new detector,,,let's say a person who works full time,,,they get their first Saturday off,, and off to the races they go with their new detector-- all excited and all.
They go out and spend all day with their detector taking advantage of their time off work.
After a couple weeks go by,,and they have had their longer detecting hunts,,, they become not overly impressed with their use of the detector and what it is doing for them.
Could if this person,,have been able to use their detector in more sessions,,yet shorter,,,,could this make a person after actually the same hours operated feel differently about their detector??
The same above,, can also be related to even folks who are just detecting out in the wild.
Our attentiveness, alertness,,,,our senses over time when concentrating gets dulled.
Do many folks even realize this is happening??? Maybe not,,and remember it is a gradual process-- up to a point,,and then our senses cave on a more nonlinear curve-- downward spiral.
The same can be applied not only to detecting,,, but driving,,our work,,other things in life we try to do for longer periods of time.
When we are younger,,,sure some will feel they don't get tired,,,but do they?? And remember there are both physical and mental components here,,,and each can degrade at different rates.
Folks new to detecting,,folks with new detectors may benefit here,,hopefully.
When some of the more experienced are even,out in the field detecting,,,try and pay close attention--- is your coil sweep techniques getting sloppier with time,,are you giving the same respect to signals detected-- the same respect during your entire hunts.
