The Complete Metal Detecting Guide 2017
Metal detecting really is one of the greatest hobbies in the world, it is easy to get started and accessible to anyone! There are hundreds of years of history right beneath your feet just waiting to be found, so what are you waiting for!
Throughout the book I document my experiences of the last 5 years metal detecting in the UK. I go over the main issues I encountered and give some key tips of what to & what not to do. I aim for this to be an up to date and comprehensive guide to metal detecting in both the UK, US and globally.
I shall be regularly updating the book as new technology comes out to keep it up to date.

The complete metal detecting guide 2017
This book as obviously stated by the title is about how to commence metal detecting as a hobby. It is a pretty good book in general as to the the techniques used but doesn't go into a great deal of detail. It's mostly a starting point. There are few pictures and these are mostly of English coins and artifacts , as the author is British. So if you're American it offers no help on coin identification as stated by the author. I am a detectorist in the American southwest so the only advice it gives that is germane to me is on general technique.
