How to find a 4 leaf clover in 5 minutes!

How to find a 4 leaf clover in 5 minutes!

I found my first 4 leaf clover on the 17th of July 2009, and it only took me five minutes!
This was about the fifth time I'd gone looking with my dad. My dad said the chances of finding one were very, very poor as we were only going to be out for about half an hour. We went to an extended bit of a cemetery where there are only about 8 graves and millions of clovers! This is where I normally go looking because there are so many clovers!

Note that if you do find a 4 leaf clover, look around the place where you find it.
All of the mutant clovers pictured were all found within 100 square feet!

Step 1Peaches!!!

If you are going to look with someone else (in my case, my dad) tell them to look in a different place from you. Also, think of a codeword that you will say if you find one.
I told my dad to say peaches if he found a 4 leaf clover and that I would do the same if I found a 4 leaf clover. Using codewords is a good way to communicate with the person you are looking with.
After five minutes of looking, I found a four leaf clover and yelled out 'peaches!'. But how did I find it in five minutes when sometimes I search up to 2 hours and find nothing?

Lets see :-)

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

You have to ask why is there a mutation in the first place?

sadly this luck is made  from our pollution.

My dad's backyard at one point had a pile of wood with lead paint on it that just sat there.  Now that its gone 4 leafers just grow in that spot.

Other places to look are along drive ways where the run off of water and automotive fluids goes.

I must be lucky. I go out in my backyard sit by a patch and I find one within 20 seconds. Maybe My whole patch is mutated?
