Back in 2017 I did a post that reported on a poll that I conducted in this blog. I asked readers to indicate how much they rely upon intuition in their treasure hunting. The chart above summarizes the results of that poll. The chart gives the percent of respondents that reported relying upon intuition entirely, more intuition than analysis, equal amounts of intuition and analysis, more analysis, and entirely analysis. As you can see only two percent of the respondents indicated going entirely by intuition and eight percent entirely by analysis, with the vast majority, using a mixture of intuition and analysis. The most general conclusion is that almost all of the respondents rely upon analysis but also use their intuition to some extent.
Below is a definition of intuition from Psychology Today.
Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively without the need for conscious reasoning. It is often described as a form of knowledge that appears in consciousness with without obvious deliberation, allowing individuals to make decisions or judgements based on "gut feelings" or hunches...
That is not exactly how I would describe it, but it is close enough for most purposes. I don't like using the term "instinctively" because to me "instinct" suggests something "inborn" while intuition, in my view, is the product of a lot of information processing.
Einstein considered intuition very important. Here are some of Einstein's quotes on the subject.
The only really valuable thing is intuition. I believe in intuition and inspiration; at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.

It is difficult to say how often our hunches, or intuitions, are correct but most of us must feel that our hunches are sometimes correct and helpful or for some other unexplained reason, at least compelling. We remember the times when our feelings seemed to pay off and, we attribute those successes to something other than coincidence or accident even though we can't explain how or why it works.
Just recently CIA documents were made public that discussed how "remote viewers" were able to correctly describe details of distant sites that they had never visited. Not only were numerous experiments conducted, but various organizations or agencies repeatedly called on "remote viewers from those projects, which suggests that the remote viewers must have been found helpful.
Below is a link to an article describing one experiment in which a "remote viewer" described the location of the long sought "Ark of the Covenant" as well as other details about the sacred treasure.
Declassified CIA files reveal psychic quest for the Ark of the Covenant - The Jerusalem Post
And here is a brief excerpt from that article describing what the remote viewer saw.
Remote Viewer No. 032 described a container made of wood, gold, and silver, adorned with images of six-winged angels, and similar in shape to a coffin.
"The target is a container. The container contains another container inside it," Remote Viewer No. 032 stated, according to the New York Post. The remote viewer further described the object as being "hidden—subterranean, dark, and wet," indicating the concealed nature of its location...
So, is the Ark of the Covenant buried on Oak Island? Additional details provided by the remote viewer seem to exclude that. The site is described as being in an area near gold domes and white robed people.
You might enjoy reading more about the psychic's description of the location and the artifact in that article.
Russell Targ, one of the primary researchers on government sponsored contracts on remote viewing, summarized the project in the 24-page article described below.

RESEARCH ARTICLE. What Do We Know about Psi?
The First Decade of Remote-Viewing Research and
Operations at Stanford Research Institute by RUSSELL TARG.
You can find it online for yourself, but below are a couple excerpts.
In its 15 years of operation, the Fort Meade remote
viewing program received 450 requests for services from various US
Government intelligence agencies. Despite the CIA’s denial of the utility
of remote viewing, they referred 34 missions to the remote-viewing human, The First Decade of Remote-Viewing Research and Operations at SRI
589
intelligence group at Fort Meade for their intelligence needs; with 122 from
the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and 172 from the Joint Task Force
(JTF). This kind of repeat business strongly indicates that the customer
was finding the information useful enough to keep coming back for more,
thus lending support to the validity of psi and the utility of remote viewing.
All the SRI–SAIC and government reports and reviews have now been
published in four volumes as the Star Gate Archives by Edwin May, the
former research director of the SRI–SAIC remote-viewing program (May
& Marwaha, 2018a, 2018b, 2019a, 2018b)...
In 1978, a Soviet, Tpolev Tu-22 Backfire bomber went down in
northern Africa. It was full of code books; and both the Russians and the
CIA were eager to find it. However, since it crashed into the jungle, US
satellite photography couldn’t locate it. We were asked by our CIA customer
to try to locate the plane by remote viewing. Both a talented SRI viewer
and an experienced female remote viewer from the Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base made contact with the plane. They both described the locale
and drew a circle on a map. When the CIA landed a helicopter in that circle,
the first thing they saw was a group of natives dragging pieces of the plane
from the river to the village, just as the SRI viewer described. This whole
event is narrated by President Jimmy Carter in the opening scene of my 2018
documentary film Third Eye Spies...
It definitely seems that there is some experimental support for effectiveness of "remote viewing." The intelligence agencies spent a lot of time and money investigating the subject. It should be noted, though, that some "remote viewers" are much more effective than others, and some people have virtually no talent or skill for it.
In the treasure hunting community, there is very little discussion or acknowledgement of such skills. That seems strange to me, since treasure hunting is an area where such techniques would seem to be most helpful. Treasure hunters acknowledge hunches or feelings, but as far as I know, have not investigated or systematically described techniques like those explored by the CIA and other research institutions. The difficulty of describing how those techniques actually work could be part of the problem, not to mention how ESP phenomena conflicts with a materialistic or classical physics world view.
Below are a couple related links you might enjoy.

In the first, Harvard scientists concludes that ESP does not exist based upon a failure to find expected brain changes associated with ESP tasks. The assumption is that ESP activity would be shown by changes in brain function that could be detected by their imagining system.
The second is a document that takes a very different view (ancient Buddhist) and provides techniques for developing what we might call ESP abilities.
Personally, I see intuition as being the result of developed information processing and assimilation. Observations and information are processed and assimilated to produce a higher level of insight, which is not easily broken down or explained.
In contrast to intuition, I would define ESP is a process of gaining information that does not come through the normal five senses. So, intuition can be seen is a higher level of information processing, while ESP implies a means of input other than our normal five senses.
Your own position on ESP will depend to some extent on your personality, views and experiences. If you are interested in the subject, there is a varied body of literature that you might want to explore. Some of that literature describes methods for improving those skills. You can find more on the Star Gate Archives online, but it may require some digging.

Rip Current Statement issued March 28 at 3:13AM EDT until March 30 at 4:00AM EDT by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Indian River, Coastal Saint Lucie, Coastal Martin, and Coastal Brevard Counties. * WHEN...Through late Saturday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

It is still windy and we have a little higher surf today but not as much as predicted yesterday.
The afternoon low tide will be almost one negative foot. Haven't had a low tide that big for quite a while.
Take a look at the beach cam image at the top of this post.
Good hunting,
