I try the 4 corners but always 3 space from a  side. That way you need max 4 tries to  cover the field (very rarely one will escape if it's completely in the middle). After you're in the neighbourhood of an item you can zoom in.

To help you calculate where the item is (or at least possible locations) once you have one or  more 'NEAR's use the  Mine raster I've created using many screenshots (Uploaded see above).

Beware at any given time there is only 1 item in the mine. So once you've located an item all previous info is useless. ie if you click on a location and there is nothing there then after you've found an item the next item can hide just next to the place  where there was nothing before.
