This review is from: Metal Detecting for the Beginner (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on Metal Detecting - this is the book. Has web sites, manufacturers, and other useful reference material - was my first book on the subject - and it gave me what I needed - and more... if it was metal vs paperback, it would be one of my talked about finds... worth writing a review about.

Best book on metal detecting yet. Not only is it an easy read, it's the only resource that I've seen with listings of web sites, manufacturers, and ample reference material. A real "find"!

Great book for beginners,
By
This review is from: Metal Detecting for the Beginner (Paperback)
This is a well written book that gives you all the basics- How detectors work, what you should look for, who the manufacturers are...He even gives good advice, that I wouldn't have thought of on my own- such as searching the internet for antique maps, so you can use the detector in areas that would be more likely to have things of value.
Get this book! There is a lot of info, and the book is small enough to get all the information you need in a couple of hours!
