If you water hunt this book and his others on this topic are worth their weight in gold rings.

I have the entire set of Clive's publications and refer to them often.
Knowledge is the key to success and Clive shares all his secrets.

Hi Will
Thank for your kind comments. Glad the books continue to be of value to you. I'ts amazing how learning a couple of simple things can boost your success a ton. There's a lot of stuff in the new one that I would have killed to know a few years back.
I've another book close to completion that's exclusively on the Dual Field. I like Gary Drayton's recent comment about this detector to me. He said: "It doesen't take up that much space on the pillow!"
Hope that you like "Shallow Water Metal Detecting: Lessons from the Pros"--a lot went into it.
Sincerely,
clive
