I believe I have the best target area in sight. The search has been reduced to less than an acre, less than a football field in size. My last site inspection in November brought forth a couple of interesting deductions. And more printed research seemed to confirm the direction. All that means less wasted time in the physical search. After all, how many others have I inspired to enter the forest and search? While researching Ground Penetrating Radar a while back, the learned tech mentioned that I was looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. While I agreed with his statement then and now, I’ve decided my search can be fine tuned. By finding the holdup area and probable escape route, the haystack is greatly reduced in size. And by using a high quality metal detector, the needle will be found. Use the facts of geography along with the appropriate tools and success is closer than it’s been. TBC
