About John's Detectors

Welcome to John's Detectors owned and operated by John & Connie Tomlinson in Blackwell, Texas. Blackwell is 45 miles Southwest of Abilene. Town population is about 300 souls. Hwy 70 runs through the center of town.

John's Detectors is a part time business with full time customer service. We are a customer oriented business with quality and honesty as our foundation. We are not interested in the numbers game to see how many detectors we can sell in a given time period.

I prefer a face to face type of selling and service atmosphere so that I can get to know the customer better. Of course, we are happy to take your phone orders or Internet orders and ship to you promptly.

I make it a priority to see that the customer gets what they really need for their situation instead of just trying to sell them the most expensive instrument.

I welcome customers and even non-customers to call if you have a query about an instrument or accessory that may need to be explained to you more clearly. We do accept Mastercard and Visa credit cards for your convenience.

As for myself, I have been detecting for 12 years now. It is a great hobby which gets you outdoors and in the fresh air. I am an Electronics Technician and have been working with instrumentation used in the nuclear and radiation field for 15 years and that is my full time job. I have been a Ham Radio Op. for over 22 years and enjoy tinkering with electronics.

I like to search for relics and meteorites and hope to go prospecting again someday. Ft. Chadbourne is a few miles Southeast of town and is an old Army fort established in 1852. Blackwell was established in the 1880's. The rolling plains in this area was home to many Buffalo and Comanche Indians. If you listen very closely you can still hear the war cries of the Comanche warriors at night around the campfire.

John's Detectors will strive to add more quality products to our lineup as time goes by and we always welcome any feedback from our customers. Thank you for considering John's Detectors as your supplier for instruments and accessories used in the metal detecting field. God Bless all and Happy Hunting everyone.
