Record of American Uniform and Historical Buttons - Bicentennial Edition by Alphaeus H. Albert. I don't think any study of military buttons can be undertaken without taking in Albert's book. Whether you are a collector, historian, re-enactor, etc. this book makes a great addition to any historical library. If you plan on buying any original buttons you will most likely encounter the numbering system set forth by Albert so it's a good idea to start here.

This new book may be the best ever written on metal detecting for gold jewelry. The book specifically talks about the use of the White's DFX but the techniques and information are of interest to any person using a metal detector to look for gold jewelry. Some of the best information regards site reading, which is how to examine a site to determine where the best odds are for finding jewelry. Numerous strategies for reducing the amount of junk recovered while searching for gold are covered in detail. Beach and water hunting are covered but most of this book focuses on the playgrounds and sports fields accessible to people almost anywhere. Illustrated. 76 pages.
