Top flites, pinnacles, noodles I can find with ease. Quality marques are harder to come by. Mind you, the other day I found one of those new Taylor Made balls and was very impressed with it until smacking into the lake at the 15th.

I was recently playing a practice round in a severe downpour - it was heavenly as I had the whole place to myself (no other lunatics around that day) and I found an almost brand new Pro V 1 with my late dad's initials printed on it - I nearly fainted right there on the 3rd fairway. Wow.

I think what you usually find is that youre gonna be looking in a place that golfers of an equivalent ability/distance hit their balls. I hit it quite long and other players who do the same will more than likely be hitting prov's too. Hence I find quite a few of them when looking for my balls 
When looking for my partners balls its generally in a place a little closer to the tee and where the majority of players will be losing them and hence the quality of them decreases whilst conversely the quantity increases....simples

What about the Smiffys of this world who are losing their second shot (3rd?) where you are looking for your drive?
There's a hole in your theory.

Its pretty easy to find a knobbled shot 50 yards into the first cut so even if his failing eyes can't see it his partners usually help out

I live just down the road from my local course and take a hours walk round the first few holes most weeks. I usually get 100-130(as many as my bag fits) and out of them normally 20-30 pro v's, another 20-30 mixed titleist, 20 odd srixon's, 5-10 callaways and nikes and the rest just chuff. Every now and then I get a real gem like the ping eye yellow and white 2tone I found a few months ago, looked like it had been there years.
