Metal Detecting 101: Essential Tips for Beginners

NEW TO METAL DETECTING? Want to start hunting without a long learning curve? This Quickstart Guide will have you out in the field and hunting productively in just a few hours! This isn’t an exhaustive guide to everything you’ll ever want to know about metal detecting. It’s not a complete course in treasure hunting. It’s a quick read from a detectorist who’s been swinging a machine long enough to know how to do it successfully, but who hasn’t forgotten what it feels like to be just beginning and needing a place to start smart.
You know you’re just itching to get your detector out in the field to find all kinds of cool stuff, but who wants to wade through a thick book or watch a hundred videos first? If you have a detector and a few simple accessories, you can start reading this handy little Quickstart Guide while you eat breakfast, and be digging your first target before lunch! Then use the resources provided to learn how to identify your finds. Though this book was written by an American author and primarily references laws and cultural norms of the United States, all other covered subject matter applies to other countries.
Everything you need to get out there for a productive hunt is between these two covers—101 proven tips (Actually, WAY more than that!) from the author’s personal experience with the equipment: finding hunting spots; staying safe, comfortable and legal; the culture and the people; even a glossary, so you can speak the language of passionate diggers. Plus, you get a section of Bonus Material: A list of the same resources the author uses to stay current in the hobby! So, lose those newbie blues: Read this guide and get out there, for memorable days of saving history. Happy hunting!
