I bought one at a yard sale also, the best advice he gives is if you find some treasure, keep your mouth shut! Good Luck!

I dug a fruit jar full of gold coins at an old homestead in northern NY about ten years ago and I told all my friends and family and now all of Tnet knows about it too. Hat's off to Karl. But I never read his book.

Get your hands on any books about the hobby. You won't see me doing the "Happy Dance" at a beach when I find the big one. You never know who is watching.
