Nothing against Garrrett detectors or their books. I have both one of their detectors along with many of their books published by RAM and find them very good. The thing I find funny in the newer books ( The New Successful Coin Hunting and Totally Revised Modern Metal Detectors). I see all these people in there that are out in the field hunting holding a bunch of coins without an ounce of dirt on any of their clothes or hands.... The lady on page 252 of the Modern Metal Detector book looks like she is ready to work in a doctors office, it looks like she is wearing heels, and has on light tan pants with perfectly manicured hands holding a coin she just dug up and not a mark on those beautiful red nails or hands. On page 214 there is a picture of a lady with a young child holding a bunch of found coins...if that were my son armed with a small shovel he would be covered in dirt and mud..not looking ready for church.
Now Treasure Hunters Manual #6 (another RAM/ Garrett work) is where it's at!!!!!..... a bunch of people digging out in the desert wearing old clothes and letting the dirt fly!!
 
Wait... you have to dig to find coins and stuff....

OHHHH, all this time, no wonder why i dont find many treasures...
 
Haha, funny. I know my clothes don't tend to get too dirty... but my apron is deifnitely soiled after a good hunt in a field.
 
I hunt in high heels with perfectly manicured hands all the time. I never break a nail or get my heels dirty. Maybe that's why I get so many strange looks from passersby. As a matter of fact, I think that may be ME in the book!!!!! LOL
 
OMG. I was out for 30 minutes the other night and came home with mud in my three hairs. My wife said, " What do you do, roll around in the dirt like you're having a siezure every time you find a penny ?" :lol:

My response was simple. "Yes. It's a requirement to avoid angering the treasure gods."
 
I am new to detecting and after my first few times out, arriving home like I just excavated King Tut's tomb, my wife had to dedicate an old pair of jeans and an old shirt as "Metal Detecting" clothing since she still hasn't been able to get all the dirt out of the first set of clothes I wore (OR the washing machine)!!:lol::lol::lol:
 
Dig Did Dig as in Drill Drill Drill

Tooooooo funny. I can't even get my fingernails clean for sa few days. I also have had clothes designated for MDing.
DrDoom:cool:
 
One can only assume that if the pic is false then the report may be also ??? steve in so az
 
That just makes me think of all those "field tests" where the writer finds diamond rings, 1800s coins and never finds a pull tab or nail. It's called advertising, to sell a product. Who ever saw a fat ugly person selling exercise equipment? And the little disclaimer "results not typical". Talk about funny, just listen to or read the required disclaimers in the news paper and on television. Nothing being sold is truly what it seems.:D
 
How many times can he "plug" his product.

I am reading the Garrett "The New Successful Coin Hunting" book now. The thought I had very early on in the book was "how often is this guy going to plug the Garrett detectors".

What I wish is that I had a coin for every time this occurred.

I find the book good, but I can see where some people reading the book would be turned off by the Garrett detectors because of all the "plugs".

The book would be much better without these and just a mention that more information could ne obtained at the following website ......
 
When I come home my wife makes me undress in the garage before I come into the house. Metal detecting clothes get washed in a separate load of wash. How can you have any fun if you don't get dirty! :p

Keep Swing'in

I wish advertisers would give us more credit than that, it just insulting sometimes, but definitely funny, funny they thing were all that stupid after all were the ones that buy there stuff. I guess they think we don't know any better. This sort of thing just aggravates me and it not just Garrett, it all of them who want's us to but stuff. I'm more apt to deal with a company the draws me in with the truth. I just shake my head every time I see an add such as that. Enough with the soapbox.

Obviously, you haven't read Garrett's other books. His coin book has fewer Garrett plugs than any of his others. I think the worst is Totally Revised Modern Metal Detectors. It is little more than an infomercial for Garrett machines.

In contrast, his coin book is full of helpful information. Too bad about the fake photos and the incessant Garrett plugs.

I think he should give his books away free if they are little more than advertising for Garrett. He refuses to acknowledge the other companies in his books, so they are not very helpful to most of us. In fact, they are so slanted as to be aggravating to non-Garrett users.
 
This is funny. This is the old philosophy of commercialism: portray users the way consumer's hope to be - attractive. Who'd buy the detector if reality was shown? The kid running amok, throwing hissy fits that he wants to go home, that this is "bowh-ing."
 
You have to dig in the D I R T

I wish these companies would wake up and realize the we are not all brain dead.:lol::lol::wow:;):roll:
 
You guys get dirty? I don't wear heels, but I can dig for hours and not get dirty. Maybe a little sweaty. I don't wear gloves, and I kneel on one knee on a rubber gardening pad. I wear a headband to keep my hair out of my face. I could probably wear white pants and go to work afterwards!!! :lol::lol::lol:
