Poorly formatted. Difficult to read.
This book for the Kindle DX was very poorly formatted. It was hard to tell which photo reference went with which photo. The information contained in the book was not very detailed. I've gotten more reading enjoyment from brief articles in magazines. It would have been nice to have construction tips for the tools used. Maybe some detail on finding good places to search.The author missed the boat on this one and the publisher ruined the formatting.

The perfect hobby - Have fun, get exercise and have a profit too!
I have the previous, eBook edition of this book. It got me thinking that treasure-hunting along the beach will be the perfect pastime when I retire. Since I know the author and some of the treasure hunters who contributed photos and ideas, my review is a little biased. However, I've actually seen some of the rare coins, jewelry, gold buttons and bits of history that they find on Long Island beaches. The tools and techniques that this book reveals really work for them. And, they will really work for you too.

First, read this book. Then, get a good metal detector, find a nice beach to explore and take this book along with you. You'll have fun, you'll get some sun and exercise, you'll learn a little bit about local history and you will find long-lost treasure. ... Read more
