New White's Coinmaster


Hi everyone, well the new White's Coinmaster is here. I must admit when I took it out of the box I wasn't too sure about the machine. But it is featherlite and about as straightforward as on can get for a digital setup. This is really a great beginner outfit and is plug and play. What little I have used it so far it seems to be pretty accurate on the depth and Discrimination. It is a single tone but it is a very nice sounding tone. The unit uses 2-9volt batteries. It has a great Pinpointing function ! I noticed that it has a seperate icon for the nickel and pulltab. My first target showed as a nickel at 2 inches and by golly that's what it was. Pulltabs are very erratic so maybe this is going to be a good nickel detector. So if I come up with any tips I will post them for everyone. This is the ole Wirechief signing out for now and everyone be safe ok. Dah Dit Dah

Minelab GPX 4500

Howdy all, this is an anouncement that the Minelab GPX 4500 is not in stock here at John's Detectors. Due to a run on this model it is not available until production catches up on the order's put in for them. I will say this also, I am not as a dealer for Minelab allowed to sell to anyone that is going to reship them abroad. So keep in mind if your a liason here in the USA buying the 4500 or even other Minelab models to ship abroad I am not allowed to sell to these liason's. This is a new ruling made by Minelab and I will adhere to it as a dealer for them. Many thanks everyone and good hunting.

Tesoro Tiger Shark

Hi everyone, I wanted to let all of you know that the Tiger Shark by Tesoro is in short supply due to a problem they discovered on the housing. Also they are not able to get a part and are having to adjust for that too. I probably sold the last NIB Tiger Shark a few days ago myself. Please bare with Tesoro and us and I'm sure the problem will be taken care of soon. So good hunting to all and be safe.

Minelab pricing on my website.


I was looking at the Minelab section on my website (http://www.johnsmetaldetectors.com/) and thought I had better mention that the pricing that is on the main page is MSRP. If you will go to the buy it now page then you will get the proper prices which are the absolute lowest any Minelab dealer can go. Thank you all for reading this and if you have questions please call and I will help you out. Since we are part time our hours are a bit odd. Weekkdays I am open from 3:00 PM CT to about 9:00 PM CT.

Five and a half years later.


Well here we are 5 1/2 years since I opened John's Detectors. Time does fly and I have enjoyed meeting all of the great people in metal detecting ! I opened the metal detector business to provide excellent service and quality products to the metal detecting masses. I do thank the many customers that have chosen John's Detectors for their detecting needs. It's not always easy to have everything in stock when customers need it most, but I thank you for your patronage everyday.

Rest assured that I will be here for another 5, 10, 15 or so years to meet the needs of those that come to John's Detectors for quality service and equipment. It is a great hobby and a learning experience to be sure ! With the down turn in our economy it has been tough but we will stay the course and may we all pray that things get better. But it seems we are getting better technology from the makers of our tools of the trade !

So everyone hang in there and it is going to be really interesting to see what the next 10 years will bring to us in metal detector technology ! Since I am a Certified Electronics Tech. I am always keeping an eye on the technology of this business. All the makers are very secretive of their technology and I understand this. There are some cool cats that really know their stuff and I hope we as the end users can rest assured of a lot more engineers coming into the metal detector designing business.

Well my friends I wish you all good finds and be safe while making those finds. We want to hear from you and not about you ! Ok I will be back soon with another posting and remember if John's Detectors can be of service be sure to call me, I'll be glad to have ya ! Coil to the soil !
