First, find a large patch of Clover, which isn't hard to do if you have a lawn or live near a park.

Do not get on your hands and knees with magnifying glass in hand, individually examining each clover. From standing height, look over the entire patch, brushing the clover with your foot to ensure none remain unexposed. If you enjoy math problems, eye-spys, the game "SET", or any pattern game in general, you'll be in your element. Amongst all the sets of 3 leaflets, any mutation will stick out like a sore thumb.

some varieties have the white line on the leaf, on a 3 leaf clover the lines on the leaves form a triangle.  On a 4 leaf clover they form a square.  Training my eyes to find the "square" in a patch of "triangles" is the technique i use for finding the 4 leafers.
