Description

Gert Gesink's 'Handbook for Metal Detector Enthusiasts' contains all the metal detector knowledge, search secrets, and photos of finds that the author has accumulated over four decades.

This richly illustrated handbook contains all the knowledge, experience, and valuable stories from metal detector hobbyists, search secrets, and photos that the author has gathered over four decades. The book itself is therefore a richly filled treasure chest: from the first to the last chapter, the reader will find valuable ideas, precious information, and never-before-published search tips.

New chapters:

  • Magnet fishing
  • Seal weights
  • Meteorites

Supplemented and updated chapters:

  • Identification
  • Legislation
  • Metal detection technique


Hundreds of photos of metal finds, locations, and searchers illustrate the texts and make reading this book an exciting adventure. Only surpassed by going out with a metal detector yourself and experiencing the thrill of the first find.

With this new book, Gert Gesink hopes to once again contribute to the further development and broader appreciation of this wonderful hobby. That the right path has been taken is proven by reports from official recent sources. For example, the Dutch National Cultural Heritage Agency now reports the following on their site: 'Finds by amateur metal detectorists lead to new historical insights'. In the past four years, 75,000 new archaeological finds have been reported by 750 searchers through the PAN project'.

This book consists of 320 pages.
