Readers Write:
Thanks for a great job on your Metal Detecting Manual. I found it both informative and entertaining.
As an Air Force Instructor Navigator and for 4 years an Operational Test Director I have written, reviewed and edited many technical papers and lesson plans concerning Radar, Loran, Inertial guidance systems etc. etc.
I wish could
have done half as well as you have done with this Manual. I would highly
recommend your book. I will have it with me for many months to come.
I
have read many treasure hunting books, but I loved yours.

Just
wanted to let you know I finished The Metal Detecting Manual. It
was an excellent read. I loved every minute of it.
The information was absolutely great, and as you mentioned in your book, I will
definitely be referring back to it from time to time. Its not something just to
read once and put it away for good.
Your style of writing is unique, and certainly more interesting than an everyday
Western and Eastern Treasures article, which is my main source of reading
most of the time. And while I enjoy that magazine 100%, I think your sense of
humor was just a nice change from a normal book or article, and it really made
the whole thing flow a lot better.
Thanks a lot!

Wow!
I'm impressed. You seem to cover everything a new detector operator would ever
want to see in print. This is a great collection of good information for any
detector operator to have. Put me down for the 2nd edition once it's in print.
If you are a new detector user or an old-timer just getting back into detecting,
this is an excellent source of good, contemporary information on all aspects of
detecting. I highly recommend you purchase a copy of Dan's new metal detector
book and read it cover to cover.

The Metal Detecting Manual arrived today! I quickly scanned it cover-to-cover and am VERY impressed. The text is just right for easy reading. The paper is of excellent quality and the cover is superb. It's enjoyable to read without getting overwhelmed with detail, yet the important information is there. I like the short concise paragraphs with the bold headings!
Your
personal approach makes for a nice familiarity with the author - something
usually missing in the material I've read.

Hi Dan......Just finished reading The Metal Detecting Manual................WOW !!!!
I sure am
glad I purchased this manual, I will now avoid making all the mistakes a novice
would make starting out; not to mention getting 'burned out' on my first metal
detection excursion or worse yet getting arrested for being somewhere I should
not be...LOL.
When I purchased this 'manual' from you I have to admit that I thought, "I
sure hope I can get through this 'manual' without falling asleep!" I
really did think it would be boring.....sorry, but we are talking a 'manual'
here, LOL! Was I ever wrong.......your manual is good reading and
kept my interest throughout ! You made reading and learning from it fun and
interesting.
Thanks
for all the information on metal detecting, but many thanks too for the
websites, books referenced, and many other references which will be
needed......talk about time-saving for the new metal detector......this book
saved years and years of just figuring out where to find the references for
research, hopefully eliminating years of mistakes and errors that you have
learned from, but becoming informed enough to go out and make this hobby fun and
exciting.....Thanks to you Dan, a great book !

I bought a copy of
your book last week. This manual is the kind of book I have been searching for
at our library and bookstores, but I could never really find what I needed to
know about metal detecting.
So when I saw what
your book was all about, I treated myself to it for my birthday. I
have learned so much already:-)
I love all the tips
on great places to hunt. I would have never thought about
them;-)
I live in Florida,
and my brothers live in Michigan. I know they would really
enjoy this book, so I’m buying another copy to send their way.
I can’t wait
until my brothers read the book and learn NOT to tune out way too much on their
detectors, because they might be passing over the good stuff!
