Your Favorite Metal Detecting Book(s)

[djnelson2292]

Just curious what you all's favorite books are regarding metal detecting. I'm going to see what you guys like. So far I have "The Urban Treasure Hunter" and "The Red Book, 67th Edition" (not exactly about metal detecting, but very cool). I really enjoy reading and metal detecting so at least when I can't get out there and hit some areas I can read about it .

Thanks!

You really didn't say if you were talking about methods, or locations so I will mention the best location book SET I have. It covers the USA in 10 volumes. THE UNITED STATES TREASURE ATLAS by: Thomas P. Terry. It covers his life's research that he documented in his ladder years. It shows cache sites and ghost towns. There is a map for each state that has the locations marked. Frank...

Many dealers supply these books at their shops. Another fav is The Poor Mans Treasure Hunter by Frank Carter and Bob Trevillian..

Just got "Coin Hunting In Depth" by Dick Stout at Amazon.

I have a number of books on Coin Hunting and this one just became my favourite!

I have noticed that a lot of the new material is not new, but merely 'COPY CAT' material that's why I like to get older material that hasn't been 'FILTERED'. Some of my books are old. I was surprised that no one mentioned Thomas Penfield. I have a couple of his books, like Lost Treasure Trails written in 1954. Hay, that was the book that started me off. Frank...
