I'm sure with more experience that your find rate will be in the 90% range. We all experience DNFs, but that is part of the learning experience. A good team is Premium membership, GSAK, and a PDA of your choice. A PDA will give you the cache page at the cache site, etc. I use a Map GPS 60CSx and with GSAK I can have the type of container, type of cache, and HINT displayed on my GPS...Happy hunting and stay safe.
