    Ideal book for the new "coin shooter"
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2011*

This book is a thorough, yet easily understood, introduction to metal detecting. The author appropriately includes helpful, step-by-step advice on how to research your first purchase. He explains the major features of typical units, and why those features matter to you (or why some features may interest you more than others). There's a discussion of new versus used units, as well as a checklist you can use to narrow your decision.The author walks you through the basics of how metal detectors work. There's some science involved, but truly, it will help you to grasp the basic principles. In fact, the author notes that "you WILL be gaining scientific knowledge" regarding weather, soil types, biology, physics, and electronics - and shows why, and where, this knowledge will help you find the 'loot.'The discussion on digging tools is good, too, as well as other supplies you should bring along. (Kneepads? Well, yeah.)The remainder of the book is dedicated to researching where to hunt. The number-one rule of this hobby is to "Search where lots of people have walked" - places where people congregate, both now and in the past. The tips include comparing current and old maps to find unexplored areas, perusing historical newspapers, seeking out old fair grounds and even just asking the locals where the old farms were. It's a bounty of good advice, and especially useful once you move beyond your town to unfamiliar areas.This is the second edition of Vince Migliore's book, which - as explained in the product description - means an expanded discussion of Internet resources. This is also useful, though truthfully if you have basic research skills, you can find much of it yourself.Time is money; this book will definitely help you make the most of your time - and, once you've got some experience, find the money.

    Very helpful
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2013*

This book is great. It offers great advice, tips and suggestions on how to use and where to use your metal detector. It lost a star with me only because I didn't need the information on which metal detector to buy as I already own one ... But, if you're in the market for one, this book would be a one-stop-shop for all the research you need to do before you buy.Oh yea, the kindle version does have some formatting issues ... All the apostrophes are quotation marks. Some of the paragraphs are combined ... Little pet peeve stuff like that.  ;)

    Can't go Wrong buying this one... =)
  

*by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2010*

I am new to the metal detecting hobby. After spending three laborious days searching for information to read and watching plenty of videos I decided to buy this book. It was nice to have some knowledge on the subject, but I would have saved myself allot of work had I just bought this book from the beginning.It has plenty of information pertaining to the selection and understanding of your first metal detector. It gives plenty of tips and many places to to continue your research. Many references to the detectors of today and mentions some from the past. It goes over all the subjects I could think of and then some. I found it to go about the critical information in several different angles to ensure all readers could understand it.I love this book and now I know what metal detector to buy and exactly why!!I already have scoped out sites to dig thanks to this book and YES! I DID FIND COINS IN MY OWN BACK YARD!Being that I am a beginner I feel confident to recommend it to beginners. As to more advanced users... I will have to read it again a year or two from now to be able to give my opinion, lol.Hope this helps, good luck and happy hunting!CP
