Evaluation of this book

This excellently researched and illustrated book addresses all topics of interest to explorers. Even experienced explorers will benefit from the wealth of valuable tips (see table of contents).

However, we also recommend it to every beginner as a fantastic starting aid for the wonderful hobby of "sonde walking". The selection of the right metal probe is explained in detail and in a manufacturer-neutral way, because from our daily practice we know very well how difficult it is for beginners to choose the right detector for themselves.

Chapters 13 and 14 provide very important and elementary basic knowledge about possible metal finds and their further treatment. These chapters contain a great deal of specialised knowledge and protect against incorrect handling of the find or even its complete destruction due to lack of knowledge during storage and restoration.

A wonderful book that is great fun to read and provides lots of ideas.
