Metal Detecting Bible?

[danrom]

Can anyone offer some insight or information on a really good publication that can cover metal detecting as a whole. Not one one a particular machine...or a particular treasure but a mind set in general. Like how to find places that will yield coins...new coins..older coins..jewelry...etc. The places where to look other than parks and beaches or old house places. Just something that covers where to and how to in a particular place. There may not be a book out there like that but just thought I'd ask. Thanks for any advice!

I would recommend these books by Charles Garrett:
The New Successful Coin Hunting
Modern Metal Detectors: Prospecting and Treasure Hunting
The New Treasure Recovery from Sand and Sea

These books by Karl Von Mueller:
Treasure Hunters Manual #6
Treasure Hunters Manual #7

And this book by Robert H. Sickler
Detectorist: A How-To Guide to Better Metal Detecting

Hi danrom,I doubt your question has a one or two book "answer all" solution.Your success at diggin "treasure " will depend mainly on one thing. "History", either earlier or later for the new or old, but your diggin "stuff".had to have someone there at sometime to produce the goodies you seek. Improve and open up your "sense of history" to all new areas.. Internet is great, but if you have a local Library, start there. Hopefully,your library will have a (Local) History and Genealogy section. If so, there will be many, varied and interesting books that will reveal many of those secrets that a successful digger will need to become more successful.The "Research Dig" is the heart of any productive "Dirt dig" . It also opens up your perspective and allows you to be intune to those possibilities you may overlook.or even have no interest in. A few trips to the Library and you will find that you will be more keenly aware of of your surroundings(past and present) and the process(history) that brought them all about..All that is just another part of what makes "Detecting" such a great hobby. And always remember, it is supposed to be about having fun and enjoyment, so don't sweat the "dry runs",enjoy them! Thank God you are able! Better runs will come! HH, Charlie

You can learn a lot from different authors. I like Mr. Garrett's books and Karl von Mueller's books, also.
