What exactly does 'Detecting Secrets' do?

My guess, is that it increases the drop-rate of loot from the following:

Searchable loot spawns:  Pile of Garbage
Destructible loot spawns:  Old Barrel, Rotten Stump

This skill only applies to "searchable loot spawns" and allows you to minimize the number of attempts to open treasure chests, piles of garbage, etc.

Treasure Chests?  Hell yeah.  Can't wait. 

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry! This skill only applies to "searchable loot spawns", not to "destructible loot spawns".

Ok, so to clarify;  Currently, by searching 'Piles of Garbage', you gain an increase % in 'Detecting Secrets'.  This increase effects the drop-rate of loot from the piles.  An upcoming loot spot similar to piles, 'Treasure Chest', will act in the same manner but will require "attempts" to open.  The chance for a successful attempt is also determined by the Skill % of 'Detecting Secrets'. ??

Campfire & Cooking

So ran some quick tests with the campfire and see that it'll last 1min until disappearing.  If I immediately feed the fire with a log, it'll last about 5mins.  A fed campfire will blaze for about a minute and a half, in which time I can add another log and continue to use the same campfire.

* Campfire weighs 2lb
* Log weighs 5lb

5mins = 2lb + 5lb = 7lb  [taking a single campfire and multiple logs to extend duration]
5mins = 2lb x5 =10lb     [taking multiple campfires and no logs]

Q:  Does a fed campfire have any bonus effect over an un-fed campfire, aside from extending duration and reducing weight?  e.g. exp, recipe success rates...

Also fire duration and the flame height depends on skill.
When you feed a campfire, the flame gets higher and you can see it. Future recipes will include flame height requirements.
Feed a campfire with firewood to increase the flame. Use bottles of water to reduce the flame.

I've tried every source of searchable loot spawns today and only piles of garbage are giving detecting secrets xp. Can no longer get from ashes or the new seasonal snowdrifts.
