BOOK REVIEWS, And what
other customers say about our book: |
| |
|
We're steadily receiving rave reviews from
customers who have purchased this book...
here are direct comments from some of our customers, used with their
permission: |
| |
| One of our customers sent in
a couple of in-situ photos of his finds, and I asked him if the book helped
him out with any good tips, to which he replied: |
Yes, your book surprised me
on where to look...I had no idea to look in certain spots, but it makes
perfect sense. A friend of mine suggested I check out this one cemetery and
to my surprise I found a partial arrowhead, just as your book stated. Also
I've been able to identify artifacts that I wasn't completely sure of what
they were or if they were artifacts at all.... Money well spent...Thanks!!

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! Thank you Terry for writing such a wonderful book. Linda (Linda and her pumice stone zoomorphic figurine are pictured below:) |

And we have another GREAT
BOOK REVIEW from the G.I.R.S. (Genuine Indian Relics Collector Society) in
their latest Prehistoric American publication (Vol. XLIV, Number 3, 2010)
They mostly used my description of the book and it's contents, finishing the
review with their own opinion: "Baxter's book is an excellent resource for
the beginner, and a great review for the seasoned collector"... thanks,
Gene! |

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 my hunting buddies in California or Nevada, they take me to
their 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 discovered or 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 my 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! 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!!!! |
