Finding Gold Nuggets II With A Metal Detector

by James "Jimmy Sierra" Normandi

Book Review: Reprinted in part with permission from Gold & Treasure Hunter.
"It kept my interest from cover to cover"
By Gordon Zahara

GoldNuggets2.jpg (22647 bytes)"The first thing I noticed about Jimmy's book... you don't have to be an electronic whiz to understand what's being said! It's written for the ordinary detectorist and written so that we can ALL understand ALL of it.

Jimmy's book helps you choose a detector. It gives non-biased information, evaluates all types of single and multi-purpose detectors and identifies what is needed in order to find gold. It answers the most common questions posed by anyone considering looking for gold. You will learn what it takes to make a nugget detector and how well your present detector will find gold.

Jimmy's book contains information about preset, automatic and manual ground balance, SAT, discrimination, coil size, sensitivity, all-metal mode, threshold and more. One common question many prospectors ask is, "Can high frequency cancel bad ground?" Jimmy covers a wide range of electronic prospecting accessories. There's a section on how and where to look for gold and an in-depth discussion on hot rocks.

Having prospected for gold nuggets with a detector at length in Arizona and Northern California, I thought I pretty much knew it all, but this book taught me many things that will be of great use to me in my nugget hunting from now on. I believe this book is an absolute must for any serious prospector, whether you are a novice or a professional. We will all benefit by the information Jimmy has compiled. Congratulations, Jimmy! You have performed a great service for all electronic prospectors!"
