David Villanueva (1951- ) was born in Birmingham, England, where he grew up. In the early 1970s his mother bought him a copy of Ted Fletcher's book A Fortune Under Your Feet, which, together with David's great interest in history inspired him to buy a metal detector and take up treasure hunting as a hobby. Family stories about the origins and history behind David's Spanish surname also spawned the hobby of genealogy. A career move brought David to Whitstable in Kent, England, and it was here that David's love of history research developed into great success both in metal detecting and family history research. A little later David felt the urge to put pen to paper and started writing articles for the two British metal detecting magazines - Treasure Hunting and The Searcher – which have published more than two dozens of David's articles between them. Success in writing articles soon led to David's first book: The Successful Treasure Hunter's Essential Dowsing Manual: How to Easily Develop Your Latent Skills to Find Treasure in Abundance, published in both digital format and paperback. To date, David has written over a dozen books in the metal detecting, treasure hunting and family history genres.
Over more than two thousand years, literally many millions of coins and metal artifacts have been lost, mislaid, or buried on land and in water. Armed with a metal detector you can find your share and armed with this book you can make your share much larger.
All places you might search are not equal and if you habitually search places where nothing much happened in the past, then your finds bag will contain nothing much. A good site for metal detecting is one that has seen use by at least a few people over a long period of time or has been used briefly by many. But there are other important factors such as the user being of a time and wealthy enough to have metal items to lose, as well as virtually unused places being littered with finds through waste disposal. Everywhere there have been areas of human activity and natural events significant enough to bury or sink metal artifacts and offer great potential rewards.
This is a book of leads to the type of site that will likely produce worthwhile results, together with resources for you to follow up to find such sites in your own area. You may have to carry out a little research but in many cases, it will require nothing more than looking at a map. Whatever places you choose to search you should endeavor to build a portfolio of different types of sites that will potentially allow you to metal detect throughout the year. And again, this book will lead you to those sites.
