[QUOTE="tim, post: 511104, member: 15257"] What books or other material do people recommend someone read to learn about how metal detecting for gold differs from other prospecting approaches? e.g. they might cover topics such as the importance of deposit granularity/depth for detecting, and how detectors work. Some that I found by searching the forum (but only crudely by matching "detecting" in titles of recommendations, and I havent read them so cant recommend them): from the Alluvial Gold Prospecting: Gold Prospecting Books for Beginners thread: You Can Find GOLD With a Metal Detector - Charles Garrett & Roy Lagal Metal detecting in Australia by Col Webster Metal Detecting for Gold in Australia by Doug Stone from the Gold Maps & Resources: Gold Prospecting with a VLF Metal Detector thread: (online) Gold Prospecting with a VLF Metal Detector by Dave Johnson Im after information specifically about detecting, not issues that apply to broader prospecting (e.g. locations, geology, etc) though am interested if broader resources have a good section about how detecting differs. Thanks [/QUOTE]
