If you water hunt this book and his others on this topic are worth their weight in gold rings.

I have the entire set of Clive's publications and refer to them often.

Re: New Book!: "Shallow Water Metal Detecting: Lessons from the Pros"

Hi Will
Thank for your kind comments. Glad the books continue to be of value to you. I'ts amazing how learning a couple of simple things can boost your success a ton. There's a lot of stuff in the new one that I would have killed to know a few years back.
I've another book close to completion that's exclusively on the Dual Field. I like Gary Drayton's recent comment about this detector to me. He said: "It doesen't take up that much space on the pillow!"
Hope that you like "Shallow Water Metal Detecting: Lessons from the Pros"--a lot went into it.
Sincerely,
clive
