Swingy Thingy

Hi Everyone,

Yes I am still here and it has been awhile since I posted anything. I wanted to say that I am sold out of the Swingy Thingy harness temporarily. I hope everyone is well and geared up for some metaldetecting. I have not had time to do much here but hope to soon. If you have a need and don't see it on my website your very welcome to call and if you get the answering machine go ahead and leave a note to me. I will call you back because I want to be of service. I have many things that are not listed on the website. I am always thankful to you all for your patronage.

I hope some of you have made good finds out there. It is never quite hunted out. The new Garrett AT Pro is showing some good use in the field. I really like the waterproof feature of it. I hope I can put it through a good workout soon. With the high gas prices and slow economy it makes it hard to venture out, but hang in there everyone and just pray for God to bring the blessings to the USA.

Ok my friends I will get on to other things and I will try to be in here more often. Many thanks for coming to my blog and may God Bless each and everyone of you. Be safe in the field and good hunting.

The Minelab Brand

Hi everyone,
It has been awhile since I have posted here on my blog. I will keep this short. John's Detectors is no longer an authorized dealer for Minelab. It is official today. Instead of pointing fingers I will say it was a great ride but for some reason they just stopped selling here at John's Detectors. I am glad it is over with and I will continue on with other brands that are on my website. I have a liking for the Tesoro brand and they always seem to sell. So goodbye Minelab and I hope the weather is fair in Malaysia. I will be back but I appreciate the support that everyone gives to John's Detectors. Be safe in the field for now.

Garrett Ace 350

Hi everyone,

I hope your New Year has started out good and it has been a great time at our place. I have enjoyed the time off but will hit the salt mine again tomorrow. I have been trying out the new Garrett Ace 350. It is a decent machine money wise. The addition of the new DD coil has added to the ability of the machine very well. I buried a clad dime at about 3 inches deep amongst tiny iron fragments. Of course it is face down but I am still able to detect it if I go slow with my swing. It seemed the further I moved the coil up toward the toe the better the response to the dime. I am talking about mucho iron on top of and around the dime. So if your in a really iron saturated ground go slow and when you get even a half a belltone do a walk around and use that DD coil to your advantage. I think the new coil is the best addition to the Ace 350. So if you are wanting to get in cheap and still have a detector that can do a decent job give the Ace 350 consideration. I will try the dime on edge next and see what I get. This is just a quick test I wanted to try. Ok be safe everyone and I hope to hear from y'all soon.

Something New ? AT Pro

Howdy Folks,

Wow it is amazing how time passes. Christmas is here and not even any Winter or cold weather to go with it. It is almost like Spring in West Texas. I hope all are looking forward to being with family and friends as we exchange gifts together. As for the detectorist, we are all thinking about what could be under the tree ?

The new AT Pro from Garrett is a nice departure from the big bucks machines being offered by the various detector companies. One feature I really like is the waterproof electronics. I have not done any serious detecting or testing of the AT yet. Mr. Dankowski is giving us a lot of info as he goes through the paces on this machine. Sure there are a few bugs to take care of by Garrett as they are discovered during it's initiation.

I want to again wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and be safe in the field also. May your finds be golden.

Howdy all,

I hope your all getting to do a little detecting and not frozen in too badly in the North. Winter is nonexistent here in West Texas. I think we are in an Indian kind of Summer. I thought I would try posting a pic of me and the Ace 350 and AT Pro. I haven't been able to get out and work these 2 detectors much at all but I hope to soon. I am under the weather a bit right now. I also want to say thank you to everyone that has done business with John's Detectors and I hope to see or hear from y'all again. I am forever grateful for you all. I hope that the Lord is Blessing you all this Christmas. So many thanks again and be safe in the field and I hope everyone get's that detector you have been wanting for so long under the tree. May your finds be truly golden. Merry Christmas !

Garrett AT Pro

Howdy Friends,

I am so glad that Garrett decided to start changing it's models being offered now. The AT Pro is such a change that for once I am talking good about something Garrett has that works very well. I hope we will see even more from them. The new coil design is also a welcome feature. Ok I hope to have more time to use this new machine from Garrett. Everyone be safe and give the AT Pro your consideration for sure !
