A Warning about Deepers metal detectors

This is to all that view this, I have been contacted by the Deepers Metal Detectors company in Mexico to be a dist/dealer for them. Avoid them because it is all bogus!!! I suppose I asked enough questions to make them nervous and it looks like they dropped me like a hot potato! I didn't fall for their story and have not gotten ripped by them. This is just a warning for others that might be contacted by them to stay away from Deepers! I hate having to do something like this but it is necessary at times. Just my 2 cents to everyone and my customers. Everyone be careful and safe.

My Inventory


I just wanted to post a friendly reminder to everyone that visits my website, if you don't see what you want, call and if I am not here leave a message and I will get back to you asap. I am able to get many other items for you if you don't mind a short wait. I am also trying to break into more prospecting equipment and would like to be a supplier for all of the prospectors out there.

As many of you may know with the worldwide gold rush prospecting gear is in short supply and the big Minelab 4500 and Teknetics T2 and the Fisher F75 are almost impossible to get now. But we still are able to get plenty of the Eureka Gold VLF gold detectors by Minelab. And don't forget the Tesoro Lobo Supertraq. Fisher also has the Golbug II and will be releasing the Goldbug 3 very soon.

I seem to be getting more orders for the new Angus MacKirk AU Trap flair sluice. This seems to be a very popular sluice already. Also remember to include a set of classifiers to get down to the finest of gold dust. I will be getting the classifier sets from Desort Fox soon. I also stock the JOBE classifiers too. I try to keep a good variety of gold pans. I think it is really interesting to see all the different designs and ideas in gold pans.

Of course my mainline is metal detectors and I try my best to use each and every model so that I can be truthful about their capabilities to all my customers. My favorite metal detector is the Minelab Etrac as far as digital units go. For analog I still like Tesoro's and try to keep them in stock. But there is a shortage on the water machines by Tesoro because of a connector that is not available anymore. They said that these models should be out in another month.

I don't think I mentioned that I am now part owner of the Sharon Kay claims in West New Mexico. I went in with 9 other fellows to purchase them. I've yet to get out to them but hope to soon. This is also known as the Rosedale District.

Ok I wish you all the best and be safe and good hunting!

Merry Christmas !!

Howdy everyone, I want to wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and I also want to thank all of my customers for their patronage to John's Detectors. God Bless you all ! I hope your Christmas stockings were full and there is plenty on the table too. 2009 will be gone soon but it wasn't all that bad considering what went on during the year nationwide. Ok I hope that Connie and I can always be of service to our regular customers and new ones also. Be safe everyone and enjoy the Holiday.

The Mighty Etrac by Minelab


Howdy everyone, I must say the Etrac from Minelab is a great machine. The ID accuracy at depth is fantastic ! I think the new 11" DD coil added to the Etrac is a killer combo. I have great confidence in the Etrac to help find those very deep targets. I was using the Explorer SE before and without a doubt the Etrac is even better. I have a mild ground here so those in noisy ground probably will have a little different result. So definitely get an Etrac if you want to dig up really deep coins and relics ! I hope that someone will eventually come out with a third party program that is different from the stock one. There is not enough room here to write about all the advantages the Etrac will put at your fingertips. But be sure to give the Etrac some serious thought on being a part of your detecting arsenal. Good hunting and be safe everyone !

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.
