What metal-detecting book do you consider to be the best written during the late 60's to early 70's? By best, I mean the techniques/science and NOT locations.
If you haven't an answer to this question, DO NOT REPLY! You probably are not at least 60 YO and you probably don't have hundreds of stick-hours running a MD during this time-frame. Therefore you probably lack the qualifications to answer my question.
Simple question. Title and author. I thought something by Garret & Lagel might qualify, but I can't find the names of any old titles written during that period.
Am I being hard-nosed? Yep. I'm tired of reading piles of off-track drivel that barely qualifies as an uninformed opinion just to find the real quality responses.
For those of you that don't qualify to answer this question, but are just flat-out snoopy, here is all you get:
Because of the time-frame, we can assume BFO technology.
BFO technology excels at some things, many of which cause problems.
BFO technology is not obsolete for all purposes. Most, but not all.
For the money, BFO technology is hard to beat. (Money defined as parts and design costs)
For my intended purposes, BFO technology might work within certain parameters. And learning older technology gives me a better knowledge base. If you don't know where you came from, you will never know where you are, where you're going or appreciate what we have now.
Most all of my MD books were written in late 90's and 2000's. I have old ham radio books and 1800's machining books, so why not 60's metal detecting books. That is a rhetorical question.
