It's all about developing your own digging style. Everyone digs for different sh*t. Find out what label your favorite artists to sample are on and start looking for other artists on those labels.

If I'm diggin for records to sample and it's an artitst I've never heard of I try to let the record speak to me LOL I go off my gut feeling. You'll never really know what it's about until you drop the needle but, that's half the fun!

I use Pandora a lot for "pre digging". Put some artists you like to sample in there and you'll come across plenty of artists/songs you've never heard!

I'm kinda out the loop diggin for wild **** though. I've turned more into a record collector than beat digger.
