This book is a repeat
By mercy@msys.net
The reason for the low rating is because this book is a repeat of Mr Garrett's book,"Let's Talk Treasure Hunting" which was initial printed in 1992. Chapters and wording of "Treasure Hunting for Fun and Profit is practically identical. If you buy either book, there is no need to buy the other. These books have a heap of info on the technics of metal detecting, but is more concentered in the end in describing the kind of metal detector to use which is the Garrett detector...which is a outstanding metal detector!

Updated Overview Of Treasure Hunting Hobby
By Red Sky
In the sideline of metal detecting the changes come in use of better engineering and understanding and interpreting how these technical advances affect the results in the field.
With more than thirty years of exercise in the sparetime activity of metal detecting I have many times read these basic princples as espoused by Charles Garrett and in truth they are always worth repeating. There is little vantage to laying out capital in a top end metal detector or any metal detector for that matter if you do not perceive and exercise the proficiencies necessary to provide optimal results.
This book repeats these basi principles in relation to modern equipment. Nothing more and not one thing less. The author does not pretend or infer that these topics have not been antecedently touched upon in other books.
This book has immense value for the novice treasure hunter and provides altered reference to the seasoned metal detector user.
