Detecting 2000 is a
brand-new publication that sets out to provide guidance
on how to go about getting the most from this fascinating
pastime. The hobby has moved on considerably since its
early days, and with changing attitudes and new laws now
in place, even experienced detector users will find this
book invaluable. Although several beginners’ guides
have been produced in the past, Detecting 2000 goes
beyond these and brings the hobby right up to date.
Commencing with an overview of the hobby to date, the
book covers topics such as how to gain permission to
search and the legal constraints on detecting. Other
chapters cover detectors and equipment, searching and
researching techniques, cleaning and conserving finds and
identifying and recording finds. Appendices cover the
historical background, useful contacts, a bibliography,
and details of farm crops and implements and how they can
relate to detecting.
