I went out for the first time yesterday but couldn't find anything.
I'm using a Nokia phone which I'm sure isn't as good as a proper GPS device, but until I see what all the fuss is about I'm not going to buy one.
It's not the technology which let me down (I'm sure I got within 15ft), it's my way of thinking, and that's worse.
Also the fact that I felt like an idiot rummaging about in plain view of a row of houses.
If I don't find anything the next couple of times I don't think I'll continue.
But the comments here are helpful...
I went back a second time once I learnt that the container could be magnetic... and found it within 5 minutes.
I understand the advice to stick with the 1/1s and avoid micros as a beginner, but where I live you have to take what you can get. Almost everything is a micro or it's up at 2.5...
