The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of people using them. Metal detecting for gold as well as treasure has become very popular. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers.
There’s no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best ‘how-to’ advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins.

Another story from the UK
Keith Bennett was using his metal detector on a Stratford farm owner’s field when his metal detector suddenly alerted him of a strong signal. This strong signal turned out to be over 1,400 Roman coins (or Denarii as they were called back in the day) dating back between 2006 BC to 195 BC! The coins have already been deemed “authentic treasure” which is good in case someone was trying to play a big practical joke on Mr. Bennett.
The silver Roman coins were stashed in a large pot (4 feet deep) that was broken on the top half. It seems as though the pot had been struck when the field was being plowed, causing a few coins to be scattered around the pot. Since this was a rather large collection of coins, it is possible that they could be tied to a wealthy land owner back in Emperor Augustus (or perhaps earlier) reign.
This treasure is expected to bring in tens and thousands of pounds, and Mr. Bennett supposedly allowed to keep half; I can only imagine the sensation of coming across such a historic find. As you can imagine he was quite stunned as you can reflect from his words:
“I just had an incredible feeling of history and going back in time. I felt a sense of connection with the person who buried these coins all those years ago. I wondered who they were and why they didn’t come back for it. It was brilliant – an experience everyone should have.”
Learn how to do it and you still mightn’t find gold treasure who knows, but you’ll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.

Why Buy A Fisher F70 Metal Detector – Review
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
The Deep Blue is not for everyone. This machine is for the serious treasure seeker only.
When I first got my machine about 3 months ago, I was amazed at how easy it seemed to work. Then as the ground thawed and I started to hunt I soon became dissatisfied. It seemed to have poor depth and very unstable. The tone would bounce all over the place and I dug as many as 10 holes to 1 real target. I thought it was a piece of junk!
A friend who also owned the same machine convinced me to calm down and begin to learn the machine. I took his advice and made a “coin garden” and began studying how the detector responded to different targets. I then went into the field with the attitude to learn and not gripe.
Today after about 60 hours of practice I love the Deep Blue. It’s a great land hunting machine, the best I’ve ever owned. And I’ve owned the best of other brands.
The secret is to learn the machine. It does give a distinct tone for coins, jewelry, and artifacts. In fact, for the price, it’s probably the best Civil War relic machine in the world. It’s also a killer in high trash areas.
Now I just need to see how well it does at the beach.

This seller is selling a different product. Beware, I had water leaking problem as other buyers. It is not the one made by American Hawks. Type B000UTLN9S in search area and click GO. It will bring you to the link where DBROTH used to sell. Check the review posted under that product. You will be happy if you don’t buy from this seller.

I asked Bill Gates one time Why with all his money he still kept going after even more? He said it is not the Having it is the FINDING that makes his day brighter. I retired from a 9-5 job in 1990. I was 40 years old. I love to find gold. My preferred method is to use a Metal Detector. I have a collection of books written by Charles Garrett. All of them on different ways to use a Metal Detector to find gold or other items of great value. Now you might think that a silver dime is not worth much. Still if it has a great history behind it. I could have been the dime someones father used to call your mother and ask her to marry him. Where would you be if that call never would have been made. This book is into the finding of GOLD like I have said it has a shine like no other. The first thing I found with my latest Infinium LS metal detector was a bracket off of a lawn mower or some such. I would not lie to you for this report. The second item I found with it was how ever a small 1 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/3 inch piece of quartz that had some metals inside of it. I have not ground it up to do an assay on it yet. Still I like to think it has GOLD inside of it. I for one really like listening to Charles Garrett tell us how to find gold or any metal with a detector. I also love it that he is not bad mouthing other metal detectors to try to make his detectors seem better. I do have some of his detectors and I love them. I know one thing listening to him tell about using a metal detector has made me a much better fossicker. Which is how they say it in New Zealand.

Prospecting information is presented that is useful and informative
September 30th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
The authors have so much enthusiasm for their topic that I truly wanted to write a positive review, but unfortunately their enthusiasm is the only redeeming quality of the book. True, you can learn some things about searching for gold with a metal detector. And although the authors disclaim any purpose to sell their products, they refer to them exclusively on the grounds that they are most familiar with them. Well, OK, but it still has an uncomfortable feel to it. And I felt I was unable to translate many of their instructions to generic terms (for use with any brand metal detector).
Early on you are advised that terms are defined in the glossary. But they should also be defined in the text so that one does not have to continually stop reading and refer to the glossary. This is basic to didactic writing. For example, the term “placer” is used many times before it is defined. Ground balancing (canceling) is treated the same way.
There are several passages that are repeated verbatim in different chapters and you are left wondering if you have somehow read the current chapter already! It appears that the editor of the book was in a great rush, or extremely inexperienced. I could not find any reference to RAM publications on the web. The editor was found, and seems to be mostly associated with the works of Garret and Lagal.
Was it worth the price? I suppose, as I at least felt the excitement of hunting for gold. But it would be better titled as a companion to one of the Garret manufactured metal detectors. I still hope to find a book on using the metal detector as a hobby that is a better-written “how to” book that speaks in generic terms about metal detectors.

This book contains very little genuine information. It basically says that Garret’s patented pan and detector are the best suited for gold prospection.
It develops at length the setting of the ground balance of the detector which is famous for its difficulty to use.
