Great book for metal detecting:
If you are at any level of metal detecting, this is a great book. The author tells stories of his own little adventures, and points out a lot of ways to find things that you may never think of on your own, and pointers on researching before you go. He also tells you of how to deal with snoopy bystanders. Overall, it is a good book, and covers pretty much all of the bases, especially for someone just getting into this hobby.
Exceeded Expectations:
Shipping time great as to be expected with Amazon. Book was good for a beginner metal detector user. Provided useful ideas on how to get started with this hobby and where to look. Worth the read and price.
Good way to get started:
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.
