Clynick's 13 books are technique, and this one is aimed squarely at the shift from casual to serious shoreline hunting: the sand and gravel grading that tells you where a beach concentrates targets, honest coverage of when a VLF machine still beats pulse induction and when it doesn't, and how to hunt water most people walk past because it looks too rough. Dealers that carry this title list it with a bare product description; the value here is that it is device-agnostic craft, which means it strengthens any waterproof machine we sell, not just one brand's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the book covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:44%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShoreline grade assessment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReading sand and gravel structure to find where targets concentrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVLF vs pulse induction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhich method wins on which type of water and mineralization\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRough and deep water skills\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHunting past the dry-sand crowd safely\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystematic hunt methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage patterns that beat random wandering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShoreline classification and exchange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhy a beach reloads with new targets over time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e115 pages, 8.5 x 5.5 in (22 x 14 cm), Prestige Publications 2011\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAuthor's 13th detecting how-to title\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs with any waterproof machine in the shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the technique is method-based, not brand-based, it pairs equally well with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/minelab-manticore-metal-detector\"\u003eMinelab Manticore\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ctx-3030\"\u003eCTX 3030\u003c\/a\u003e, or any \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/waterproof-metal-detectors\"\u003ewaterproof detector\u003c\/a\u003e we stock.
