Excellent book. Lots of good tips on getting started in metal detecting. Plus, many personal stories you can reflect on when you're out in the field. I especially liked the do's and don't when treasure hunting in the "bad" sections of a city.
I haven't read it because it was given as a gift. But the book was in excellent condition and arrived quickly.
My husband has had a metal detector for a few years now, but has not really put it to use. I found this book on his wish list (been there for a year) and decided to get it for him for Christmas. He is already making lists for how to search for treasures based on information in the book. This tells me that he is finding it of value.
I have owned and used metal detectors since the early 80's and compared to a lot of books on the subject (that turn into adds for a particular detector manufacturer) I have found this book very useful and have picked up a few pointers and techniques
Not so much aswhere to go. It talksabout old buildings, privies, new construction sites, and etc. I was hoping for a little more technical stuff with this book. To me, it's a book about common sense. to look forthings. I wanted techniques in the handling of the detector. Overall, I wouldrecommend it. It is helpful in a few areas.
