Finding quicksand

Postby Kipcicles2 » Mon May 04, 2020 8:33 am

So, last year I moved house and I haven't really got to know the area well as of yet. I'm planning on going out of the house for some "exercise" to see if there are any good potential sinking spots. It should be a lot quieter while everyone is in lockdown, so I'll have a bit of privacy if I find anything good. However, it turns out I'm quite a noob at searching for good mud and I would like a little advice from some regular sinkers...

A brief description of the environment, if that helps:
- There are a lot of lakes around my area, previously used as massive clay pits for an old brickworks that used to be here (oh how I'd love to have seen those in-person ;) !!).
- Additionally, there is a large quarry nearby (although I'm still unsure whether it is still being used or not)

Could I have any guidance on what kind of areas I should be looking in? Like, what should the ground be like, should there be much vegetation around what I'm looking for, how close to/far from the lakes is an ideal place for the wet ground, etc.
And any precautions I should be taking? I've got all the obvious stuff planned out, I'm just waiting for the weather to cheer up a bit :)
Just an uptuned nose at the surface (。◕‿◕。)
