Review: I loved the big font and easy layout of the book ... - This book is a must-have for every beginner. As someone just getting into the scene, this book was extremely helpful and very detail oriented. I loved the big font and easy layout of the book too! I didn't realize how small some of the text was in other books I've been reading until I picked this up and realized how much easier it was on my eyes. The formatting on this book was just incredible - it's part of the reason it was so easy to get through the abundance of information. Learning the lingo from this book has been so much more helpful then I ever thought possible. I loved all the pictures in the book but particularly loved the ones that helped show the direction of the water when explaining what to look for when it comes to water flow. Fantastic! The diagrams and photos made it extremely easy to visual all the text they accompanied! Great book - highly recommended for beginners. Review: ... have given this 4 stars because it is an easy read and the author was full of enthusiasm and ... - OK I have given this 4 stars because it is an easy read and the author was full of enthusiasm and would make a good coach for Detecting Camp if there is such a thing. He also included information about the best types of detectors for different types of detecting. I learned about probing, something I had not heard of before. The electrolysis portion was informative. The detecting rivers had some good tips. The Jewelry, preserving your relics and selling your finds information was helpful. The join the community links and links for research were cool too. If this book had been half the price It would have gotten 5 stars. It was informative but read more like an adventure novel instead of a guide to metal detecting. I am a beginner, If you have been doing longer than a year then this probably would not teach you much that you have not learned from your experience except maybe the Probing part, now that takes skill.... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #226,392 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Mining (Books) #26 in Antique & Collectible Precious Metals (Books) #2,073 in Encyclopedias & Subject Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,428 Reviews | ## Images ![Metal Detecting: A Beginner's Guide: to Mastering the Greatest Hobby In the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hSwg5pEmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved the big font and easy layout of the book ... *by D***E on February 2, 2016* This book is a must-have for every beginner.

So I bought him this book and it’s wonderful for beginners like us! This book is a great introduction to metal detecting! It provided so much information. One of my favorite parts of the book was the simple definitions of the lingo. There were so many things I learned about just from this one chapter! The book also provided details of different kinds of metal detectors, from different brands to different uses for metal detectors. The book moves into where you should be metal detecting, the laws of property, to identifying your treasures to cleaning! It’s really a wonderful book, especially for a beginner. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1703007-metal-detecting-a-beginners-guide-to-mastering-the-greatest-hobby](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1703007-metal-detecting-a-beginners-guide-to-mastering-the-greatest-hobby) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
