This quality DVD video features Thomas Dankowski with training experiences in his Test Garden and in the real world.  In the Test Garden, Thomas covers the topics of Masking and Silent Masking, Multiple Targets, Coins on Edge, Coil Sweep Speed and Depth of Targets.  Thomas also thoroughly covers the topics of Complex Targets, Ground Balance, Iron Falsing and Sweep Techniques.  

     The video has a runtime of over 90 minutes, features a scene selection menu and is packaged in a shrink wrap sealed Amaray case with beautiful full color labeling.

     "After seeing the finished copy, I am very pleased with the results.   It has taken longer than expected for the production team to complete the video, but I believe that the results were worth the wait".  Thomas Dankowski

     Dankowski Detectors features a Discussion Forum primarily centered on the Inland Coin and Relic Hunting video so that viewers will have an opportunity to ask questions, critique the video, and to let me know what I missed.   I hope to produce more metal detecting training videos in the future and input and suggestions from fellow detectorists will help me to produce a better video that will help viewers find more and better stuff.

     The 6th Annual Great Southern Beach Shootout had the biggest turnout ever with 197 registered detectorists. Numerous Metal Detecting clubs from all over the world were represented at this event.  In simple terms, it was just good old fashioned fun!
Obviously, plenty of metal detecting activities for the hunter and the attractions of the Daytona Beach area for those family members not yet enlightened to the hobby. A highly enjoyable event with something for all.  We can't wait until next year!

     During the video shoot for the Inland Coin and Relic Hunting DVD, we captured a lot of really great finds on video, but we missed what I considered to be the most impressive find.   This article tells the story of this truly amazing missed find.

     A head-to-head comparison is VERY difficult to perform.  Absolutely ALL variables must be removed if any form of validity is to be ascertained.  The slightest changing variable can completely void the test.   This article explains the parameters and conditions that must be considered and how to turn these variables into constants.   By keeping an open mind, avoiding pre-conceived bias and using this knowledge you can increase your volume of "keeper" finds!!!

     Now that the video is complete, I have more time to write articles.   I have just finished an article that I submitted to Fisher Research Laboratory for inclusion in their Fisher Intelligence Fifth edition.   This article concerns research I performed a few years ago in trying to determine the depth of the 1962 dirt strata.   1962 is the year when the metal detectorists' worst nightmare was introduced, the pull-tab.   I think you might find this article interesting.   Knowing the depth of the 1962 dirt strata can help you make better decisions on which targets to dig so that you will recover better, older stuff.
