    Loved this book!
    I don’t know what I was expecting but I realised quickly that it isn’t like any other detecting book I’ve read. It covers off everything a beginner needs from choosing a machine, equipment, getting permission, etc. in just the right level of detail. Doesn’t skim over the important stuff but doesn’t get too detailed and confusing either. Impressed!

    This is a very easy read, not at all dry and boring like many others. It’s not too technical, but tells you everything you need to know about a machine and it’s features. What Graeme is really good at though is bringing the points to life - the stories and anecdotes really keep the interest going. Really enjoyed it and it really is a great book for the beginner.

    A thoroughly enjoyable read packed with very informative advice, help and guidance. Some invaluable tips for beginners looking to get into the hobby and also sound pointers for the more seasoned detectorist. This book should be in the library of every detectorist.

  3. Danny Lambert

    Fantastic book. It's a great source of information. The experienced tips are superb. It will improve your skills and knowledge most definitely. As for increasing the chances of making more finds the research section is invaluable I picked up some great advice with this part! Great to see a much needed book like this available to the hobby!

    Cracking read and a must for the beginner covering everything the novice will need to know.And plenty for the seasoned metal detectorist.
    The passion and dedication of the author shines though every page making it a easy and enjoyable read as decades of knowledge and experience that Graeme has acquired is passed to the reader. Highly recommended

    Received my copy of “A Guide to Metal Detecting” today. Having just finished reading it, I must say, it is obvious from the start it has been written by someone who completely understands not just the technical side of the hobby, giving sound advice, handy hints and quoting the necessary legislation and rules that anyone interested in the hobby needs, but also by someone who has a deep connection to the historical interest and emotions that are invoked by unearthing all those items from our past.
    The font used is modern and easy on the eye, mixed with enough high quality images to keep the reader enthused throughout without tempting you to skim through.
    Congrats Graeme Rushton you’ve done yourself and the hobby proud with this one. ??

    A good honest read providing a valuable source of information for the novice and revision material for the mature detectorist. Well done Graeme and Mel.

    Well, done Graeme, what a fantastic book. When i first started taking an interest in the hobby a couple of years ago and buying equipment as well as trying to work out where i could detect, how to detect i was all over the place spending so much time on YouTube, google etc totally confused and frustrated at times whilst purchasing the wrong and too many products as well as so many so called experts on media and sellers of equipment with conflicting views. It became such hard work.
    If i had this amazing straight to the point book, expertly detailed and easy to follow, everything would have been so clear and clicked into place straight away. From what detector, equipment to look for as a beginner, where to detect, gaining permissions and most importantly how to get the best enjoyment out of the hobby.
    This book is a must for all beginners and experienced Detectorists. The many years of experience that Graeme has gathered over four decades, jumps right out of the book and makes this such an incredible read. Pictures, illustrations, and information are excellent, an amazing touch with Graeme’s son detecting on the front cover, so impressive.
    Excellent work Graeme and Melanie, truly brilliant.
