And we're already
starting to receive rave reviews from our book sales at the Marin show...
here are direct comments from some of our customers, used with their
permission: |

|
Well, even though
endorsements further down were submitted earlier, I just had to move this
one up to the top... It's from one of our earliest customers to purchase the
book, telling of her finding artifacts by using the techniques she learned
from our book: |

Woooo Hooo Terry, I did
it!!!! |

I just got back from
Northern Nevada looking for artifacts (on private property). Following the
advice in your book (since I've read it 3 times) I concentrated in an area
that had a lot of flakes and chips. FIRST I found a small, nice little
blade; then nature called and since there were 9 of us roaming around in the
area I walked over to a sand dune behind a large sage brush to answer the
call of nature. (sorry, but this is the way it happened). While there I was
eye level with the base of the sage brush and I saw this interesting rock
underneath it, so I pulled it out.....it is an effigy of a beetle type
bug...a beauty and the find of my lifetime I'm sure! The rock is at my
hunting buddy's house so he can enjoy it and be constantly reminded that thanks
to your book I found it and he didn't, hee hee!!! I will be sending you pics
of it tomorrow, but since he has a better camera I've asked him to send you
some too. Thank you Terry for writing such a wonderful book........PS don't
let my hunting buddy tell you he found it as I have witnesses that know I found
it and they were just as sick as he was that I found it and they didn't!

Not to toot my own horn...
Well, what the heck, it's my website... I "think" I'm allowed... (Don't
worry, I won't let it go to my head!)... |

Gary Fogelman was kind
enough to give us a MOST FAVORABLE Book Review in his latest Indian
Artifacts Magazine (Vol. 29-2, May 2010) which in part stated: |
|
"Written in a very easy to
read and comprehend manner, it's immediately apparent the author is 'one of
us'." (I consider that to be an extremely high complement, Gary, Thank-you!) |
|
...Gary further states: "A
strong point from my perspective are the various precautions to be
undertaken before going afield. One would do well to read these no matter
where you are from or where you are collecting." |
|
..."The section on the
various ways to locate and identify possible site locations, and the variety
of sites to look for, is most interesting and contains information that will
be useful to all collectors." |
|
..."I recommend it highly,
there's a boatload of useful, helpful and enlightening information." Gary L.
Fogelman |
|
Thank-you for taking the
time to give my book such a GREAT review, Gary, I know you're a very busy
man, and this was GREATLY Appreciated! |

Just wanted to let you
know how much I thoroughly enjoyed your book. It is far more informative than
any book I have ever read in the past and very easy reading; also enjoyed your
humor. When I'm with Mike in California or Nevada, he takes me to his proven
hunting spots, so it's hard for me to know how to locate any of my own spots in
Texas, but now I know how to go about it! I have already started working on the
maps and I will let you know if I have any success. I am so glad you took the
time to write that book and share your knowledge with people like myself. |

Thank-you, Linda!... I
think the thing I'm most proud of is, it's the first (and only) book which
brings arrowhead and artifact hunting into the 21st century by using 21st
century technology as part of the process... not to mention that I dug back
more than 15 years into my photo library of sites I have visited and hunted
myself in the past to give solid examples of what to look for... I know that
if anyone tries even half of the suggestions made in the book, they'll
increase their odds of finding ancient artifacts 10-fold! Send me some
photos of your finds when you get out in the field. regards, Terry |

I just received my Western
Artifacts limited edition collectors book, and I want to say thanks! It is full
of very useful hunting techniques that I never thought of. I can't put the book
down! I think I will put the book in a display case because it IS a G -10
artifact! I was very stoked to see that you used the green Mendocino concave
that I bought from your website in the book. This is my favorite book and I have
many! I'm going hunting today and Saturday, the rain will help uncover some
points I hope. My hunting buddies and I throw on the rain gear and go in the
rain, with great success. |

Thank-you, Fred!... Funny
you should mention hunting in the rain, because it's one of my many suggestions
contained in the book... I'm sure you're going to have a good laugh when you get
to that part! |

Terry, just had the chance
to (finally) sit down over the past couple of days and enjoy your book – great
job and thank you! As the weather begins to lend itself to being outside, I
really look forward to taking advantage of all that you’ve taught me. THANK YOU,
and congratulations on work done extremely well! |

Terry,
I received Your New book last Thursday and read it completely that evening, and
have already re-read it 2 times since then. It is easily the Best Book available
on hunting Arrowheads and other artifacts, that I have ever read.. The chapters
flow in an easy fashion, yet are packed with useful information... The color
pictures really add to the information and really round out the Book.. even
though I've been hunting points for 16 plus years, I definitely Learned a
Handful of Useful tips... I will most certainly recommend Your book to anyone
interested in getting into Hunting Artifacts.Thanks for writing it!!!! |
