If you don't evolve as a treasure hunter, you probably won't be a treasure hunter very long. If you don't evolve, you'll probably quit.
I see some people who believe all they have to do is get a detector and swing it around, and the detector will find treasure. That won't get you very far. You won't find much, and you'll probably quit before long.
Learning is necessary if you want to find much, but it is also a lot of the fun of metal detecting. If you are not learning, you're missing out in both ways.
To be most effective, you have to learn to use your detector. You have to learn about different areas and how to read the environment so yo will see the clues that will lead you to good finds. You have to learn techniques and strategies.
You'll also change what you want to find. Your goals will change. You'll expect to find more, and you'll target higher quality finds.
That is why I say, "If you don't evolve, you are not a treasure hunter." It might be slightly more accurate to say, "If you don't evolve, you won't be a treasure hunter very long."
I think it is good to ask yourself every once in a while if you've been evolving. If so, how, and if not, why not.

Here is an academic publication in which the formation of Mound Key, the capital of the Calusa kingdom at the time of European contact in the sixteenth century was studied.
Here are some of the key observations from the study.
First, it appears that the island was occupied early in its existence, abandoned, and then reoccupied. During Mound Key’s second occupation, its inhabitants substantially altered the landscape by redepositing old midden to form at least the upper portions of the two largest midden-mounds. We argue that this reoccupation and the associated large-scale labor projects are part of a deep history of human-environmental interactions tied to the production of aquatic surpluses.

We got some much-needed rain. I'd rather have that than the hot sun.
The surf is smooth today, but there is a bigger tide. I've been waiting for a negative tide, but won't get a chance to get out today.
Happy hunting,
