    The magazine shipped promptly and, considering its 50 years old, arrived in great shape, just as described. It was sent in a heavy protective envelope. I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

    The Basics plus ton's more great Info!

    A complete guide to the where and how of treasure hunting. The author has explored urban parks to Colonial era Caribbean forts. Besides being a superb technician he'a an excellent historian and anthropologist. This is the book to get if you're looking for a lot more than just the mechanics of operating a machine to find lost jewelry and loose change.
