Civil War Relic Hunting A To Z



After selling and repairing metal detectors for over 20 years and relic hunting for over 30 years, I thought it was time to share the knowledge and experience that I have gained over that time. As new generations reach the age of pursuing a hobby such as this, there are no books that can help guide them. This book is intended to fill that void. The hows, wheres, whos, and whys should make that venture less painful and much more enjoyable.

What equipment do I need as far as a detector, digging equipment, headphones, and clothing? Where do I go to search for relics? What are the techniques? What are the laws concerning relic hunting? How do I clean and preserve the relics I find? What is the best way to document my finds as to both location and description? What about shows, clubs and other organizations?
