Why This Isn’t a $200 Course
Let’s be real — I could have packaged this as a “Masterclass” and slapped a $200 price tag on it. A lot of folks in the hobby do that, and honestly? It’d still be worth every penny.
Because if this guide helps you find just one silver hotspot that everyone else has walked past, it’s already paid for itself many times over.
But that’s not the point.
I didn’t create this for the handful of guys willing to pay big bucks for another fancy “system.” I created it for the average detectorist — the guy with a mid-range machine, a Saturday morning, and the itch to dig history out of the ground.
That’s why I set the price at a level where anyone serious about improving their hunts can afford it.
For less than what you’ll spend on a tank of gas or a casual night out, you’re getting a proven, field-tested playbook that will save you months (maybe years) of trial and error.
I’d rather see this in hundreds of detectorists’ hands than keep it locked up as a “premium” course only a few could swing.

Meet Your Guide in the Field
Learn from someone who’s been in the dirt, not just on the forums.
I’m Terry Ladd — a US Army veteran, better known to my detecting buddies as the guy who always seems to pull a keeper when everyone else is digging pull tabs.
I’ve been swinging a detector for over a decade, hunting everything from small-town parks to farm fields that hadn’t seen a plow in 80 years. Along the way, I’ve dug my share of junk… but I’ve also uncovered a ton of silver coins, Civil War relics, and more history than I ever imagined when I first started.
Here’s the truth: when I began, I wasted years making the same mistakes every beginner makes. Wrong sites. Rushed research. Awkward conversations with landowners. It was frustrating.
That frustration pushed me to create a system — a field-tested framework that works no matter what detector you swing, where you live, or how much time you have. The Detectorist’s Field Guide is that system, bundled with the tools I wish I had when I started.
I don’t claim to know it all — none of us do. But if you’re ready to stop wasting Saturdays and finally start pulling history out of the ground, this guide will save you years of trial and error.
My Bold Guarantee
I know detectorists can be skeptical — there’s a pile of gimmicks and over-hyped gear out there. That’s why I'm flipping the risk completely around:
If The Detectorist’s Field Guide doesn’t help you find more, faster — I’ll give you your money back.
No hoops. No “prove you tried it” nonsense. If you don’t feel it made your hunts smarter, easier, and more rewarding, just email me within 30 days and I’ll refund you.
That means you can download the guide, use the tools, even print the permission forms… and if you don’t think it was worth it? You risk nothing.
Because if I can’t help you pull more history from the dirt, I don’t deserve your money.
With The Detectorist’s Field Guide, my mission is simple: to help everyday detectorists uncover the history that’s hiding right beneath their feet.
I believe you don’t need the most expensive gear or decades of experience to succeed—you just need the right knowledge, tools, and a clear path. That’s why I’ve distilled proven strategies, research shortcuts, and field-tested methods into a guide designed for real-world results.
Every swing of the coil should feel like a chance at discovery—not a shot in the dark. I'm here to make sure your time in the field is rewarding, your hunts are productive, and your love for this hobby only grows stronger.
