Any good jewelry hunting books?

[TRanegar36]

I just finished reading Clive's jewelry hunters handbook. It was really good, but rather short and more geared for beach hunting than anything. Any other good books out there?

Thanks

Finding jewelry at anyplace other than the beach is a crap shoot. You won't find gold jewelry unless you dig all targets in the range of aluminum and lead, or in other words trash targets. No book needed, just hunt away and sooner or later you will find some.

Thanks for your input. Just trying to gather as much information as possible. 4/5 of my rings this year have been in yards on the landscaping/grass line. Was hoping someone had tips for park hunting, but you're right. Just trying to find an excuse to buy another book

Here is a link to a free ebook that, although was written for Sovereign/Excalibur users, has some interesting statistics that were derived from over 1000 found rings. Perhaps you can come to some conclusions from reading it.

If you want the best book ever written on land treasure hunting get a long out of print copy of Karl Von Mueller's "Treasure Hunter's Manual #7". there is one available on ebay right now, item #381597503786. I cut my detecting teeth with this book 45 years ago and it is still the best. Tips like if you find a virgin old school yard the FIRST place to hunt is by the swings, and many more. I am not the seller, it is in auction format, the last one sold for about $27.00. By the way what part of MI are you in? I have family in southern MI down near the OH and IN borders.

Thanks Gunsil for the recommendation, going to check it out now!

I live in Southwest MI. For how close I am to the beach, I should be hunting there everyday. For some reason tho, I just lose patience out there fast... went today for an hour or so and didn't find a single coin. Just the lighter stuff close to the water. I think my only chance is getting into the water with waders or waiting until summer for fresh drops.
