Elizabeth-

One of the books on my bookshelf I pull down re: metal detectors is (there may be a newer edition, I haven't looked):

Garrett, Charles L
1985 the Advanced Handbook on Modern Metal Detectors. First Edition. Ram publishing Company, Dallas TX

Just don't let the descriptions of "treasure hunters" get to you!

Subject: Question RE metal detectors


Dear List members,
   I am looking into the use of metal detectors on historic sites as a
method to identify subsurface artifacts; in this case looking to locate
a possible early 18th century structure.
  Can anyone please recommend  (off-list is fine)any studies or other
references to the use of metal detectors in historic archaeological
settings?

Thanks in advance,

Elizabeth Hoag, RPA
