My guide to finding lost discs

Ive never lost a pink disc
Fixed it.
Also, if you haven't found it after awhile go back to the tee or your mark and play the shot back again in your head. You'll sometimes find you've been searching at the wrong entry point.

^ this, usually.
I tend to start looking short of where I think it ended up, and usually walk straight to my disc. I'm surprised at how many times the disc is shorter than what people think, and at how few times it's actually been farther.

Mark Ellis gave me the best piece of advice when it comes to lost discs I've personally ever received and I quote "hhmmm.... its okay, they'll make more".

I do this if i can't find it after a couple minutes, works every time!
It only took me 6 minutes from the time I said I would start looking.

this is usually why i lose discs
either that or because i throw more than one off the tee then leave one behind. i think the problems might be related.

I am not in a position of authority on this topic since I lose discs at an astonishing and embarrassing rate. However, I am fond of the "go back to the tee" plan of action on anything that isn't a completely blind landing. Gridding is also a good backup plan if you are willing to dedicate a lot of time to making sure it gets found (beat-up Champ Teebirds don't get to disappear. Ever.)
This is a big one for me I've found lots of discs this way. I can be looking for close to 15 minutes and find nothing so I go back to the teepad and visualize the flight. Always find them immediately after that.

I have this experience most often. My two most commonly thrown discs are big skippers, and I find if I am having trouble finding my disc, if I just add 25 feet onto where I thought it stopped, I usually find it in short order.
Oh, and don't throw dark purple Opto plastic in a heavily forested course, that too.
Not always. I was playing with a semi-noob who could only throw about 250'. We come to a 600' slow right turning hole. This is a hole that most people throw a big anhyzer, which is what he did, but he used a 150 Flick. What he ended up doing was accidentally throwing a perfect distance anhyzer. After searching for 15 minutes we finally decided to give up and as we walked to the basket we found his disc about 200' farther than where the average drive lands on that hole.
