    A great book for all you relic hunters

    My sweetheart of a wife got me this book as a birthday present. Tons of great info on all aspects of relic hunting. Beautiful pics too. If you followed Bill Dancy at all on one of the other forums, then you know the incredible items he has detected or excavated in the Virginia Tidewater area. It is a an excellent read.

    Well thank you gents. Bill Dancy really did a great job with this book. This was a top notch effort.

    Dan, I never used that clip because I mounted the probe on top of the shaft. The one clip seemed to be enough to hold it in place when the bottom of the probe was resting on the shaft.

    I will be expecting to get this book for my birthday (from the wife), if I don't purchase it for myself first. Aquachigger has a nice video and he details this book quite well. Happy Belated Birthday Jeff
