Want to start hunting without a long learning curve? This QuickStart Guide is short and to the point, intended to get the reader familiar with metal detectors, their operation and accessories, then into the field to find great stuff. Those who already have a detector and a few accessories can start reading this book over breakfast and be out in the field hunting productively before lunch.

It's a quick but thorough read from a detectorist who's been swinging a machine long enough to know how to do it successfully, but who hasn't forgotten what it feels like to be just beginning and needing a way to start smart. The 108-page softcover contains everything you need to get out there for a productive hunt: a helpful glossary of terms an overview of the hobby and various specialization options information about equipment, hunting safety and etiquette how and where to find places to hunt cleaning, preserving and displaying your finds a special bonus section contains resources about the hobby nine black & white photographs and illustrations The handy pocket-sized book is intended to be used, not just read. It has a film-laminated cover, providing greater durability for use in the field, and its 5 x 8 size is easy to fit in your field bag. It retails for $7.95 and readers will find extended information at its website, Detecting101.com. Review: That anyone can metal detect with a little knowledge.. - Very easy, fast read..

I wanted this product to help guide me to whether, metal detecting was for me? I now know it is, so look forward to re searching various detectors and getting started.. Thanks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good. *by S***S on 28 May 2025* Good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good info, great place to start *by R***J on 4 March 2018* This is a good book and very helpful for the beginner in metal detecting. I like the way it is written, you don’t have to distill information from it, it is just listed in easy to read tips. The way the book is sectioned off it makes it a great reference book. It is full of really good tips, a glossary, and a nice resource section. It has a ton of information yet in an easily readable format that isn’t the size of a textbook. It cleared up a lot for me and gave me a greater understanding of the hobby. ## Frequently Bought Together - Metal Detecting For Beginners: 101 Things I Wish I?d Known When I Started (QuickStart Guides) - The Metal Detecting Bible: Helpful Tips, Expert Tricks and Insider Secrets for Finding Hidden Treasures - The Metal Detecting Handbook: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Uncovering History, Adventure, and Treasure --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/260267617-metal-detecting-for-beginners-101-things-i-wish-id-known](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/260267617-metal-detecting-for-beginners-101-things-i-wish-id-known) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
