Very nice hunting.

I've gone over the same areas dozens and dozens of times only to keep pulling new finds out of them. I'm not sure if that means I suck or if it means I'm very good! Probably a little of both.

I'm usually able to go back to my permissions a few times (or many times). What I do know is that I would have missed a lot of goodies if I had given up on a place just because I had an unproductive couple of hours or even day and concluded the place "hunted out". It doesn't surprise me at all that a place could be door knocked several times, for an hour or two each time, and still give up some goodies.

On the other hand, there are times where I've wondered why I was still trying to squeeze out the last drops from a permission when I could walk down the street, knock on a few doors, and most likely be surrounded by lots of good signals again. I know why (e.g., test of mental focus, application of experience and skill, make more interesting finds, etc.), and there definitely is a time to walk away, but it's definitely not after the first little dry spell.

I never get tired of IH's. And as for the conditions, well gee, they wouldn't be half-as-fun if they came out of the ground all candy-apple clean. Now would they ?
