4.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's Guide to Metal Detecting, 31 Jul 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

There has been a big upsurge in the hobby, or some may call it an obsession with metal detecting. Finds of coin hoards, rings, pieces of harness from the Saxon and Viking periods are well publicized and this wets the appetite of many a prospective treasure trove seeker.

This book gives a good insight into what type of metal detectors are best and how to use them correctly. This is extremely important, because a good metal detector is totally useless if it is not used correctly. The book shows that research can be very important also and a `feel' of where to do your detecting. The best metal detector in the world will not find anything if there is nothing to find. I know that statement seems pretty obvious but it is fact. There are hot spots where there is a good chance of finding something old, but maybe not worth a fortune.

The book gives an excellent insight into most things you need to know to go metal detecting. If you are doing it to have some fun, you probably will. If you are doing it to home in on some treasure trove, you are more than likely going to be disappointed, and remember all land in England is owned by somebody, no matter how overgrown or derelict it looks. Make sure you have permission to be there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you expect to learn anything new, 11 Jun 2009
By Mr. T. J. Taylor (Wormley, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book tells you all you already know. It's all very basic and commonsense stuff, like asking the land owner's permission and how to dig a hole. Very disappointing.
