Well, you find a cache by coming across a lead; research the lead; prove the lead; follow the lead; recover the target of the lead. 95% research; 5% field work. Visually speaking:![]()

Your first trips into an area will be without any detector. You'll need only your notes, clear eyes, and a good camera.
Good point.
Don't forget luck.
Most of the caches I have found of this nature were completely accidental.
they were uncovered while doing the normal day to day things that come along being a property owner.
things like putting in new water lines replacing fence posts
and of course Metal detecting the old chicken coop. LOL
