#2: THE TFR- TREASURE RODS ARE MORE THAN FLEXIBLE FOR THE HUNTER! THE PRICE IS RIGHT AND JOHNS EXPLANATION AND HIS EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD ALONG WITH HIS ENGINEER WHO USES THE TESLA FREQUENCIES TO SEAL THEM SOMEHOW OR INFUSE STEEL WITH THOSE FREQUENCIES







Chapter 1:


Before long those who try to use L-Rods to find their coins or artifacts will stay below the radar of the Treasure Hunting Community! Can you say "TAXES"!

I was poking around to see if any of my co-treasure hunters and cache hunters were successful using their particular dowsing rod or electronic rods on a LRL site no less, I was given message back and get this; at a Long Range Location Forum for Treasure Hunting, I was told, I wasn't welcomed and no one believes in those fairy tales! What happen, did I just step off the plane in mid-air before landing in the Twilight Zone! After that fiasco, Oh, if anything this blog is badly needed for this type of hobby. If for nothing else, to be able to throw out the "trash" of ignorance for a single moment in your busy lives. I know there are many people out there still wanting to purchase such a device as a LRL and thats all well and good! But you shouldn't be brawl beaten at other sites because you show interest! Not this site, I can assure you of this much!

On this blog if you have any negative comments on why you think it shouldn't work and why I am wrong, then I will refer you to many sites who will agree with you, any other derogatory statements will be promptly deleted; this site is not up for debate, if you don't like what your read then by all means go away! This is for good reasons and the reason I visited that last site was to share my work, I gave them my link to this site! Some folks really want to know how to use these rods; to find gold and silver and believe me what you learn here is the real McCoy! I don't sell them and if the company is great and makes products that actually work I will tell you about them and refer them to you! But I am a treasure hunter, not a rug scrubber by using a metal detector in hand all day long across all that dirt floor looking for pennies or clads! I got a metal detector a fairly inexpensive Garrett Treasure Vision. After I box in a 3x3 square area using my TFR-1-2; I add four tent stakes marking all four outside corners of the target, I then take out the mD to pinpoint the exact spot within that 3x3 foot square, sometimes I make it bigger for a wider smooth swing of the mD.

Let's talk about the metal detectors in the market place, after all these years chasing my tail in the metal detector industry I found a very common thread from the cheapest mD models to the most expensive models, first attribute of the mD' is, they beep when a coin or precious metal is under the ground below coil and it can't be too deep either! This is the basic function of every metal detector, if you strip off all the bells and whistles all you really have is a stick with a electronic box and some discrimination filters or software that goes beep beep and the second most common attributes of all metal detectors from cheap to expensive is; if there is not a target in the ground it will not work!  It will hum and buzz and begin to fill heavy after awhile of swinging this tug. The coin could be a foot away in any direction and if you don't swing the coil exactly over the spot you will miss the target even if it is a few inches away.



CX Minelab 3030 their top of the line detector also has a flaw, if the coin doesn't show up after your swing under any part of the coil, you will miss it! Everyone who misses these coins, loses money on their metal detectors. If your talking about a few hundred spend on the machine it wouldn't matter so much but with a $2500.00 model you would think it could send a radar signal to pickup your coin if it were there!


Here is crude example: You paid $2500.00 for your CX3030 Minelab, you took it in your yard and found nothing! Your neighbor kid comes over with his metal detector he purchased from Walmart and shows you a penny he found with a machine that cost him $50.00! I know I am taking this too the far extreme but I just wanted to show you all why metal detector salesman count on you not knowing if that $2500 machine or if the cheaper one is better for you and they are built to both find all the same metals. If I was him I'd be tempted to say for commission purposes,"You know your going to find some deeper and older coins with this cx3030 machine! Nothing can hide from it"! But as soon as the customer is about to leave your store, you have to tell him about the "disclaimer", "It will only work when there is a coin present below the coil head"! Nay! That's for him to figure out! I got my monies!


CHAPTER 2:


What would make a person venture over to LRL to find their precious metals? Is it because they are not so lucky with their metal detectors! You have to understand, if the metal is not directly under the coils it doesn't find you nothing! $2500 worth of electronic parts and some software is all you have left of you investment!


Now that we surpassed the basics of Metal detecting purchasing, you will be a bit wiser then some, you just need to know what your going to use it for. Just don't say to hunt gold and silver, every Metal Detector Store will show you hundreds of machines that are designed to find those precious metals and some can reach ten       or fifteen thousand dollars! Once I decided what I wanted to do out in the field and what I was desiring to bring back home with me, that was my first over the hurdle moment. My second (and this is all from last spring!) requirement was to find the right metal detector for the right hunt. Don't get me wrong I metal detected for many years! It was the jacked up prices that kept poor people out of parks and woodlands because they couldn't afford a real metal detectors with all the bells and doo-dads on it to look for that old farmers hidden cache of gold and silver coins. 99% of mDr's would find nothing of value! Even after doing research on the area surrounding the suppose treasure!

This wasn't all that hard to accomplish since there are so many models of mD's to choose from, just remember the more bells and whistles you order, the more expensive the metal detector will become, if you only need it for pinpointing in the metal mode, then a cheaper one will do just find. I want to refer you all to Kellyco it's a great place to purchase your ground tools and some have decent metal detectors that are reasonably priced. But if you smart; you will only use the detector once you are on top of your target, and that's just for pinpointing which it was designed for! You certainly don't want to swing that around from morning to night looking for gold and only picking up clads all day long along with junk metals!






Below is my hunting gear but not limited, First: My TFR-1-2 or 4 and the Anti-Ghost Reflection Steele capsule accessory: This device prevents ghost reflections that are caused by the sun heating up the ground from morning to about sunset.

. Middle price Metal Detector (To retrieve only) Not to be hunted with! ******************************** Think of the fox and the hound, the puppy finds and flushes out the target and the farmer shoots it! You certainly are not trying to locate the hidden fox with your rifle; you use your "Finder" in this case the Hound! In our case the TF-Rod! The TFR finds target(s) in its hidden place like the Hound would the fox in the hole or up a tree and the metal detector is used to pinpoint precious metal targets either in "All Metal Mode" or "Discrimination Mode" as the gun is used to shoot the target (Fox) and the metal detector confirms the find only; it doesn't hunt for it! Otherwise if we only had the mD without the rod; chances are huge, you wouldn't have been to that spot anyways, your detector by itself is useless box of nuts and bolts if the metal is not under the coil. 

. A knife that is 3 inches wide with a serrate edge to cut root and about 8 inches long (Standard)

. A mini palm sized metal locator to run around the holes in the          ground in case the coin drops further into the hole when digging around it, it will buzz if your target is in that hole or on top the grass.

. Water Jug:

. Candy Bar (Snickers and bottle of OJ) : for low blood sugar if you  haven't had a meal in a few hours of digging

. (Gloves) and (one knee gelled KNEE PAD)

, Go-pro camera on top of your hat for the recorded hunt. (Most will not believe when they watch the proof of the dig).

. (A handheld GPS60),  it will take you out and each waypoint will send us back to your start position! Just in case you unfamiliar with the area in general and you get turned around for some reason or another.

Grizzly Bear Spray: 


Watch out for wildlife, I had to spray a brown bear in Alaska back in 1979 when using my Whites Detector, the closer he came to me the more I could feel like my pants were creating a puddles of a liquid substance, when he stood up! Long story short, I sprayed out 75 feet. Once that halapenia pepper habanero oil base structure/chemical hit its face; it was like oil of a skunks urine except this was oil of an extremely hot chili pepper oil base, when you spray the "threat" it sticks on them for 30+ minutes. This bear yelped for almost 30 minutes running the other direction! Good for "human pests" as well! (Don't forget wild dogs or cougars or wolves etc.)

. Sampson Shovel with the square handle not the ball at the end. Kellyco or other equivalent companies has these.

. A light weight Fold Up Wagon... that can carry all your stuff in the field. Compliments of Walmart! Instead of all your back or your poor wife has to carry these, someone has to use the rod to pinpoint the way!





Ghost reflections created by the sun heating of the natural quartz crystals in the ground, it projects reflective images up to 50 feet away from the actual target and add another 5-10 feet with the aura that is created by the target itself for being so long inside the earth.


Now we are ready to go; all the fun stuff is out of the way, Don't forget your food and make sure you place what is not eaten in a sealed container or Tupperware container. Seems like we got most of our quipment ready to go to the field. Now we can take our time; the sun is not bothering or interfering with the Rods like it use too because I have purchased John's new item called the "Ghost Evader Technology", that was recently developed by John and his engineer this past year. The sun, as it arcs across the sky it shifts those "reflective ghost targets" on the ground 50+ feet in all directions until the sun goes down, which is why if you don't have his newly invented accessory, the Ghost Evader Technologies Steel Capsule embedded with Tesla frequencies that nullify such ghosts; then you must hunt before sunrise and right after sunset. Until you are ready for such tools and if you have purchased a rod from someone else consult with whoever built yours and asked them questions! Even the most difficult LRL can be use with success with a small amount of  modification and education on your parts and lastly practice.

CHAPTER 3:


I was really eyeing up the Model 301 by Thomas Electro-Scope in the 1980's, the problem of those who owned one it found too much junk and it was affected by the all day sun as many other LRL were also.  John's Engineer solved that problem that plagued the LRL hunters for years! I am going to field test his newly created steel cylinder which his engineer embedded certain Tesla Frequencies to block these ghost or phantom reflections. If it doesn't work, I will send it back!

If you had not purchased a treasure rod from someone else, the information I can give to you here will be priceless! I've been wanting a Electro-Scope Model 301 for $2500.00 since it ever first come out in the 1980's. Like many of you; I just couldn't afford that luxury. I am glad I waited for as long as I did. "Waiting" is given a bum rap by Liberals these days, when they say, "We want it now"! I wasn't raised in that era of thinking. So, I waited and waited and it wasn't until last year I ran into John's partially running website, who happens to sell custom built treasure rods, he calls them, "TFR-1-2-4 and along with these some useful accessories. As I have already mentioned and not to be too redundant, he shared a lot of important information with me, I was totally unaware about. Especially the Ghost Reflections caused by the sun all day long and the "reflections" caused by the precious metal that's been inside the earth for hundreds of years, (this too produces a 1-10 foot auric radiation) on top of that! Since owning these two devices, I could find coins both silver, gold, meteorites, etc. all depending, which "Screw On male plug cap" I want to purchase to find some of those rare items. One problem remained was these damn ghost targets!

You don't need to purchase more than one device, the TFR-2-4 are not dowsing rods, they run off a discriminator box that uses 2 nine volt batteries; it does have a special chemical/mineral mixture sealed inside the brass tubing. The TFR-2 can find a single 3 grams of gold from a single pesos buried up to four feet deep 2000 feet away and further the larger the target! You can watch these field tests on youtube. Sorry, I am much too lazy, I won't dig that deep, if I can't find it with a Garrett mD after being pointed out by the TFR's and I know it's there, I will give it to someone else. I pick up coins and jewelry such as rings, etc. about up to 8-10 inches in the dirt; the stuff your $2500 mD can't find unless you are right on top of the metal itself! I am not that gun ho! When you reach 60+ years of age, then you will understand what I am telling you all. I got all sorts of jewelry weighing tools and diamond testers.





The above was found at a old golfing course field, one of Johns customers sent this in to him. He was using the TFR-4...with a new discriminator.

But none of this matters if you don't have the right tool for the right job! I can't emphasize enough times, mD's have their place in treasure hunting but they are very limited in the technologies we have today! Now we have these technologies in these TFR's and no one even knows about such things because the information is purposely suppressed and ridiculed; a lot has to do with mD sales, The MD sellers say; they don't work because they want your monies to purchase $2500 machines and if your gold hunting we can add up to around $8000+. When you talk Long Range Treasure Hunting, what's the first thing that comes to mind! "Dowsing Rod"s. With the purchase I made last year from John, I know the difference between using coat hangar wire and using a electronic and computer controlled system inside a 2x2 box with my rods! It takes the TFR-2 to find one to two grams of gold up to 17 volts from two batteries! If you set the discriminator higher weights it uses less voltage from the batteries. 

The TFR-2 and 4 can't work unless it is plugged into the computer control housing, you weight discriminator. I tried, nothing, no reaction from the antennas when I've scanned an arc of 180 degrees to get a hit. When I plugged it back into the computer housing and re-did the scan I got my first strong hit! I won't go into technical detail of Johns TFR's on why it work and the how's, you would have to email him or call him better still! I don't want to discuss his machines and what they can do, it would be an injustice for his credibility for me do so, because I just use it and that's all I understand about it. But I will show you and tell you what I founded with these rods. He will not give away his mineral powder formula to anyone because it's his proprietary blend to make these rods do what they can do! The TFR-2 is his top of the line rod or was, he has now come up with a rod that has the ghost evader technologies built into the body of it, with a discrimination box. It too, uses two nine volt batteries and once you set that weight, the rod will ignore anything else out there under or above the ground.

CHAPTER 4:


All of Johns TFR's now have the "DC" and "Conduit" plug-ins. "DC" or Direct Current allows you to hunt for all shapes and sizes of a target, think of it as a "All weights mode". The "Conduit" is a "discrimination" mode that will only pick up whatever weight you set it too! It goes down to 1 gram and up to thousand pounds, once past "100" mark on the weight discriminator box!


There is two ways you can use this device, you can run it on "DC" (Direct Current), this mode will shut down the discriminator and find what your looking for from an ounce to over hundreds of pounds! Once you lock on that target, now pull out the plug from "DC" side and plug it in the jack marked "Conduit" start from your highest weight discriminator where you found your target and scan where you got your hit and keep lowering the weight of this until you lose your hit! Now go back up and inch yourself up until you get that hit in that same direction! I call this "Sizing" up the target, you found in "DC" mode! In this mode, you can use any discrimination weight you desire but since you have already determined the known target earlier by weight sizing when switching over to conduit side, just keep those settings and walk it in until the rod swings behind you, from your passing by your target! The TFR-2 and TFR-4 and TFR-1 now have the same electronic box weight discriminators.

The TFR-2 will locate 3 grams of gold 2000 feet away! No matter the depth and from youtube, John was able to bury it four to six feet deep and still be able to lock into the coin from 2000 feet away! I for one, am not going to dig 4-8 feet on any single coin, maybe for a cache but some of those go down only 3-4 feet. Another issue comes time after time, if the TFR's are such great instruments; how come nobodies rich or getting rich? Good question, this would be similar to me saying to all of you, if the MN Vikings are so good and get paid multi-millions of dollars how come they always lose the Super-Bowl!  Or if the coach is so good, why doesn't he play on the team? John's rods gives everyone a equal playing field to find precious metals and gems! The great thing is you don't have to dowse to find anything, the rods do all the work, you just balance it and walk it in!




These dogs are the long range locators (noses) to hunt down foxes or does the hunter use his or hers rifles to locate those foxes! Must use the right tool for the right job!

Remember coin-hunters we are out to have fun, if it becomes laborious work by swinging a 15 pound detector all day long in the hot sun over a 20 acre piece of plot plus you were planning to visit some road park stop that you wanted to check out by the end of your day, later on when you arrived after swing your mD for hours, you found out someone got lucky and found some silver collectibles near the surface with his mD over one hour ago. The bummer of it, you didn't finish or come close to finishing the 20 acres you were previously on! With the TFR's it would have taken you a few minutes to spot any silver and gold if it were there! 

The rods I have are hollowed out so, I can place small samples of my targets specimens inside the rod and the rod has a mineral compound and other proprietary substances hermetically sealed within the unit, Update: Now my TFR-1 has a new electronic weight discriminator, which I can place my sample into instead of the hollowed out rod itself or into my old T.D that didn't run on battery power. I tried other L-Rods before and they just didn't work for me, even when the coin was on the ground in front of me. When I told John about this ordeal, he told me I will give you 30 days with your devices and answer all your questions and if after that, you still think it doesn't work for you, then I will take it back and give your money back. Good deal! Let's go for it! Then John and some of his working crew got hit with that merciless flu back November 2017. I ordered mine in November and it took me 3 months before I got my rods.

CHAPTER 5:

The TFR-1: has been upgraded and you will have to ask John about it. When I purchased this rod it was only for experimental uses only. I didn't realize that I could actually find gold and silver and not only that, anything I use for a sample or what I place in my thinking! You can't use body as a ground and exclude the minute electrical impulses of the human brain!


Heck, I couldn't have much use for the TFR's during the above months since it was winter so being a bit late was no issue on my part. Once I went outside in the winter, both of my rods certainly were picking up gold and silver with all that snow on the ground. The TFR-1 unlike the TFR-2-4 is a "Dowsing" device but specially made for me at that time, it was highly experimental. John wasn't sure what this device could actually do outside the precious metal world. In fact, this is my favorite L-Rod! Because I don't need any boxes or any samples. My wife hid her diamond ring out in the park and when she told me to turnaround, I made a verbal statement to myself while holding scanning with the rod, "Find my wife's wedding Rings in this park area", My antenna got its first pull, I walked the signal in and narrowed it down to 3x3 boxed area, used the mD for quick metal retrieval! John put something highly experimental in this TFR-1 and this device was not suppose to work like this, from my typical understanding of LRL devices.

I actually found coins with this rod; all I needed to do is think what it was I wanted to look for. When I scan sometimes I get solid hit  and if it's not there I get no hits. John did tell me the mineral compound inside the rod are tuned to gold and silver by default and only allows a small % of body grounding. One can put small bits of samples inside the rod itself or you can use the control box and place the sample in there. I am also a researcher and like to push to the extremes instruments such as these. Since owning the TFR-1 and not being able to dowse; it changed the way I viewed things forever! I called John one day and told him, this device is like no other LRL's out there.  It only requires little of full body electricity to perform correctly. This would include man's or woman's central nervous system, including their brains. 





This is the TFR-1 that can either be used with the small plastic weight discriminator box or by itself using your body as a % ground! I use this one the most! It's his least expensive! This is the one I purchased last year! Not including those two silver colored caps.


Yet John insisted it uses only about 20% of your body as a ground. The new TFR-1 Extreme, which by the way didn't exist when I was purchasing it. This uses nine volt batteries and completely eliminates the body as a "ground" as long as you use the box! But I like my body being used because the human thoughts are much more complexed for the scope and anything is possible or not! This isn't the first instrument I could do things like this! But this one is much cheaper and smaller to experiment with. Send me an email I will tell you about my "other" experiment with the TFR-1. John really doesn't want me to write all my experiments down because it would scare people away from using the devices for legitimate reasons! I don't blame him for that! But it does for me what it does! I am no psychic or dowser; if this helps the cause! Email: scarecrow@gmail.com


CHAPTER 6:

You can break these instruments down in a few seconds and place them into your pockets, very discreet! Heavy enough to avoid light to mediums winds. 

The TFR devices are heavy enough to balance properly but not that light to be pushed by light to medium winds, that's a break! I went to a baseball field in that same park, I got a "hit" with the antenna going left to right then I step off to my left about 5 feet and a scan from right to left and where the two imaginary points crossed over each other, there should be my target! Where the two imaginary lines of interest met had a wide base instead of a sharp triangular  point like other targets when farther away, meaning the target is only a few feet away in this case. I walked toward the target (don't be in a hurry walk slowly), then the antenna pointed to my inside left. I backed up a foot or two and started to walk a straight line perpendicular to the suppose target itself. After just a few more steps, the antenna turned in towards the center of the partial box.

I made right angle turns and walked straight and when the antenna pointed inside the box I would mark it with a tent stake and take another right angle turn until I had all 4 stakes, one in each corner of the box. Somewhere in that box or close to the stakes is our target. To make it easy, I take out my small pocket size mD and scan the top of the ground and when it beeped, I found my target! But in this particular find it was a "dime". It was just under the dirt near the pictures mound. Just owning a mD where would you start to hunt to find that dime? In fact, without a direction finder; no less than a naval sonar; you may have never found the "dime" because it could be anywhere! I hear people say, we understand your logic; if they did work, we would agree! At least they was honest, I give them that! But I asked them, what makes you disbelieve in LRL, some told me they had one and never worked and I asked what didn't work, well he said, I couldn't find any coins with it, just junk!

Here's a better excuse I read at one of the forums, why don't you think they work? It's dowsing (Psychic) work! So your telling me a ghost is leading the way to find coins! Still others, say that, I just don't believe in them because on paper it shouldn't work, ah their thesis's from their college days. There liberal professors don't understand the technology so therefore it doesn't exist! Or "It's just my belief"! Then you get goofy replies such as, "I will pay you ten thousand dollars if you can find where I buried the gold"! First and foremost it's on their land and to their advantage, it should be on someone else's land with two witness standing by as the owner of the gold buries it. This would be much more of a fair assessment and to have a two party contract drawn up by an attorney that; when you find it, the metals will be your 100% payment!





But you will not see this! So serious treasure stompers would refuse these types of setups. They never offered anyone with mD's to find the gold he has buried, why, unless you right on top of the gold your mD will not make a sound! They say the mD's work, his name is Carlos X and he trolls all these blogs and forums. He represents Whites Detectors and that is his sole source of income, of course he will not have you spend half the price on something that works like these special TFR's, when he can get all your money for machine that is only good as the coin under the coil. If you could use my one of my TFR's; you would flip out how you can easily spot coins or other type objects etc. The first thought would be, this can't be real or how can this be! I thought the same thing! My wife doesn't dowse, never in her life and she can take the TFR-1 and locate any coin I hid in the house or any coin that maybe found in the park!





This is Bob Fitzgeralds Molecular Treasure hunter for around $5000.00, imagine walking for miles carrying this and setting it up over and over and walk around the unit 360 degree with two L'Rods that he doesn't show to you!

This above device I've been eyeing up for a few years or so after the Electroscope 301 Model was Bob Fitzgerald Millennium Gold Finder, John and I discussed it and he got this machine, he took it to his test-bed, that had just one singular precious metal planted in the earth for probably months and this device couldn't find it's exact location. It couldn't distinguish the coins target area. Even though Bob states you can cancel the ghost targets by flipping the switch, how many times must one flip a switch before it works! You can bring out the weakness in everyone's competitor LRL's and eventually create something better if you can afford to do so!

The hardest part in making a decision to purchase any type of LRL is getting past the "Advertising", at least it was for me! There was just no way of knowing the truth beyond the ads themselves! No  builders of these devices gave a person enough time to figure it out once they purchased it if; it worked or not and by the time they knew they had been had, it was far too late to be accepted back by the seller! Many thousands of dollars were lost along with a dream! I wrote this blog because I almost became one of those vial statistics! I was shagged a few times in purchasing other things over the years! No one is immune, not even the great treasure hunters of the globe. 

I was one of the luckier people last year! Patience in waiting for something is so true, that patience is a virtue! I purchased the TFR-2 and the later the TFR-1 after I found it really worked; better than he explained on the phone and on my emails. Last year was the first year in 35 years of my life in doing metal detecting that I ever owned a device that actually finds the gold, silver, and clad coins from a great distance; other than being under the coil head of a mD if not, you can't find it or don't know if it was there in the first place! With either of my rods, I will know after the first few scans doing 180 degrees, if there is anything out there to begin with!

I have it set on my TFR-2 to locate no less than 3 grams of gold or silver, no micron silver gold would be detected! I took my real diamond one ct. solitaire and placed it in the TFR-1 and TFR-2 on two separate experiments, one at a time and each time, I could find my wife's wedding rings with her one ct. diamonds that she hid. You have to understand I wasn't picking up on the gold in her ring just the diamond! I had a solitaire diamond by itself inside my unit!

#1: WHO I AM AND WHY I USE LONG RANGE TREASURE LOCATORS TO FIND MY COINS AND ADDITIONAL ITEMS!





This is my other model the TFR-2. Can find a 3 gram gold coin up to 2000 feet away and up to 4-8 feet deep recorded so far!


For a good part of my life, I was always interested in Long Range Treasure Finding, if not for the novelty about it! Before I met John who created this device, there were lot's of Pros and Cons to deal with and up to this day the last Con was wipe away for me with the new added frequencies to block ghost targeting!


All of us when we were able to afford one, we purchased our first metal detector! I was thrilled, not knowing what it was I found and then digging it up! But I came a long ways since those days and many expensive metal detectors later, I got interested in Long Range Treasure Detecting! Thomas from PA. invented in the early 1980's a LRL called the "Electro-Scope by Thomas"! Sad to say, I had to wait a very long time to procure a device but I didn't purchase mine from Thomas, his Model 301 was $2500.00 in the days and there was no way to justify such high cost using an experimental device like the Electroscope!

He has currently cheaper models out there and they do work, but the biggest issues with his expensive scopes is the ghost signal variances created by the all day sun in the sky issue! What happens from limited understanding, the sun heats up the ground and the micro quartz crystals and it produces huge reflections, mirages is more like it and they will extend from beyond the original target out as far as fifty or more feet in any direction. As the sun arcs across the sky shifting to sunset the ghost signal mirages simple fizzle out leaving only your true target signal.

It took me a long time to understand this, it's not like their are experts standing at every metal detector store telling you this stuff. Well quite frankly, there are very few of us left who do Long Range Treasure Hunting. Our treasure tool, which is in my case my L-Rod called the TFR-1 and TFR-2 are chemically packed like the Carl Anderson type of L-Rods but with a different recipe of sorts and this make this rod even more special! Unfortunately, there are rods that do work from the market place from time to time but a good many don't and some simply are glorified junk detectors! The Model 301 finds coins but it finds its share of junk metal. Why is this? My friend John who has an engineer who designs the chemical mix plus uses Tesla frequencies to hold the charge in the permanently sealed container of my two models. Electroscope works, I've had a chance to try it but it's way too bulky to carry around all day long!




I have this one above the TFR-1 but I am upgrading from that small plastic box to his newly designed discriminator that works like the TFR-2 and TFR-4's Electronic Box. The above works it would just be nice to have a DC side and Conduit side like my TFR-2 has!

These TFR's with there special chemical mix sealed inside the chamber, will accept and allow the antenna to respond to the target! The how's and the why's are John's secret not mine! But I own both of his models and they never fail out in the field! I set up a test area out in the park and placed a "quarter", "silver dime", "penny", dollar bill on the ground about twenty feet apart from each other.  I turned around while my wife change sample positions 30 yards from me! Note to self: You may dig up some junk because the silver or gold maybe directly under the can or barb etc. This happen to me.

There are all kinds of field tests you can do with these devices and if used correctly, they will never let you down! Only you can let "you" down, yourselves and don't forget practice get to know what your equipment is telling you! It seems the TFR models know exactly what to do and how to do it, all you do is hold it correctly and walk it in!

She gave me the go ahead and told me to find the dollar bill! I scanned a 180 degree arc and got my first hit. From here one could triangulate by stepping 20-30 feet and scan from the opposite direction and where the two lines meet there maybe your target spot! But instead, John's Treasure Rods are so uncannily accurate, I can just walk right to the signal and if I pass by it, the rod would swing back to the target I just past! To let you all know, I am not a dowser! Never could figure out those things! Anyways, I found my probable target and my wife pulled apart the grass and there was the dollar bill! Wait a minute a dollar bill! How in the world can you find a dollar bill! Well, hold on I am getting to that!

My TFR-2 has a electronic box that you can use to discriminate junk and in weight! That's right by weight, those ounces, grams and pounds! I know I could hardly believed it myself. Remember I just took John's word for it, that was all I had to go by at the time and the price was just right a little under half of what the model 301 electroscope costs! What I did was placed a "Steel" capsule that I purchased extra from John and placed it inside the electronic box's specimen chamber and closed the cap! These Steel capsule has embedded frequencies to find gold, silver and yes paper dollars it will find the weight of the paper dollar! I can't explain why it works like that, John could probably do a better job since he builds these machines to order.



This is the metal Detector I've chosen and it works pretty good.


Both of my rods do find paper dollars in my field test out 30-40 yards away from where I was standing! I also found the above mentioned coins, it doesn't matter if the dollars or coins are in a tin can, the rod will find the money in it. I had to box some of them to keep my search area small using a Garrett Metal Detector (Treasure Vision)! The metal detector was a little bit expensive and you all could probably do much better in pricing of one! As soon as I got, what they call the "Door Bell" sound, then I know I found my coin! The "TF" is the acronym  for "Treasure Finder"! Just in case you were wondering. I don't want to lose any of you who got this far into reading this new blog! I am not going to talk science of this and that, I am only going to share with you the finds I discovered and what I used and how I used it! I am in the process of getting a GoPro to record my hunts live.

The Rod is weighty and it helps in windy conditions so your antenna is not flying all over the place and you don't have to lug a square box with three antenna projecting from it either. You get one single antenna and believe me, brothers and sisters, that's all you need! This antenna will lock into gold, silver, meteorites, you name it will locate it. The antenna will not let you pass your target once you found it! There is no guessing, (Did my antenna really move or was it just me)! When the antenna locks on and sometimes hard, just follow where it's pointing, it's that simple! The rod is very light weight and can be broken down and put in your pockets (Very Discreet). Except the metal detector you will probably carrying around with you! (Dead Give Away) or "DGA"!


I went from getting out of the car and tuning up my metal detector for the piece of ground I was hunting and begin swinging back and forth all day long; to only retrieve if I was lucky a few pennies and a nickel. Now with the TFR's I get out scan and walk it directly to the target and box it and use my metal detector to pinpoint it and to know how deep it is and knows the approximate weight!


I will take pictures of the units I have so you can get a good idea what I am talking about. I read a testimony last year of someone who purchase one for gold ore locating and his reply to John was they would have to pull this Treasure Rod from my cold dead fingers before I give this up! I thought is was a bit over the top, until I got mine! Now I know exactly how he feels. Let's face it, anyone of us can use a detector (silent running or beep, beep). Let's take this example and stretch it out a bit! You pull up to your favorite Parkside and it is about thirty or so acres or probably more like two football field sizes with a lot of trees! How are you going to use your metal detector?




Imagine for a moment you enter a place this huge, just with two sweeps of your TFR Rod and you have the direction of your target, the weight, and type before you even dig it up! The only time you use your metal detector is to retrieve it, after the box is around the target!


The first like any of us would, I get out of the car tune my detector to the ground and off you go searching aimlessly hoping against hope you will find some things and most do find things but takes them 5-6 hours most of the time when hunting and heavily hunted area by hundreds of metal detectors before you! You know I was never what you call "lucky" for anything! Every time I step up to the plate to accomplish something what I set out to do, "luck" takes a backstop and I have to work really hard to achieve what ever it is I aim for! No shame in it, but after so many years, one ought to change things, if not for variety sake! I did this by studying and talking with people as far back as 1980's about Long Range Locators.

There are plenty out there and one would have to take out a second mortgage to own some of these! Even those machines John had the privilege to check the popular brands out in actual field conditions and they too are fooled by ghosting residuals! That is a scary name to a Long Range Treasure Hunter. For example: About a year ago unbeknown to the LRL hunter, a treasure was found earlier, a cache to be exact worth a lot of money; it had both silver and gold residuals signals in the hole after it was covered up by the other hunter a week earlier. Another LRL user picked up on this false signal (Ghost), arrived at the same area and they dug up about 3 feet of earth only to find nothing. Listen I hear these stories for over twenty years so take heed and listen! When the LRL's began flooding the markets people where selling their puppies to have one! Because of the promise of riches! 

When they came to one of these area's guess where there LRL pointed too! You said it exactly, right to the very hole that was dug up by someone a week prior ago! The LRL says by pointing and boxing it's right here dummy! Then you get your digging equipment and begin digging and digging and digging down to about 3-4 feet! You take your metal detector over the hole and you get no sound not even a chirp or two! You get out of the hole you dug and you scan left to right and right to left over the hole and now you get "no" signal on your long range locator! What! You'd wouldn't believe how many LRL players out there who are doing this exact same thing! Because their rods didn't have the technologies of Tesla to eliminate these ghosting targets!


The Long Range Treasure Hunters worse nightmare and that is digging a hole and finding nothing in it and re-scanning the same hole after it was dug and no response from the scope! Can you say G-H-O-S-T! Two ghosts we have to deal with, #1: A cache was dug up and the dirt thrown back into the hole causing the radiation to be trapped under the ground. #2: The Sun and Heat causing the earths crystals no matter the size, to expand its radiation up to 50+ feet away from the target!


There is not one thing you can do about it, you either dig the holes and de-ghost the ghost; once it is exposed to the environment or find another hobby! That's why it took me many years to wait for someone who really knew how to build these units from the ground up and have a smart geo-engineer who knew what he was doing while packing the chemical/mineral recipe and the ability to mill the rods by hand to perfection. He; his engineer is a Tesla student and he was able to build his own frequency generator to charge the chemical/mineral mixtures to obliterate "junk" metals. The only way you will pick up the junk metals if you us a sample of the junk metal in your device. The TFR-2-4 are not dowsing rods they must run off the electronic discriminator box which has a whole bunch a goodies installed and it runs on 2 each 9volt batteries.



With other Long Range Locators this is what you would fine 90% of the time! You would re-swipe your LRL over the hole and no more signal, it dissipated when you open the ground up! What I like to call the Haunted Hole!


I didn't mention ghosting because he has a special cylinder that is embedded with certain frequencies that blockout 98% or more of any ghost residual at any time of the day or evening! Remember I told you all I had to hunt during sunrise and sunset because of the sun heating up the ground and causing the antenna to point to the wrong directions! Well this add-on eliminates all that and more for me and once I get a hit anytime during the day, I can expect 3-5 foot halo effect around the target depending how long it's been buried. I solve this issue using a simple boxing method to retrieve my finds and lowering the sensitivity of my antenna. Up and to the present it's the fake ghost mirages emanating from the ground all around the true target located up 50 or more feet away! That's how much you can be off with other LRL's on the market!

I told you also you can find anything as long as you have the correct sample to place into the top of the discriminator inside a small built in canister, drop it into place and shut the lid. If you want to find silver, use a sample of what silver (refine) you can get, the same for gold or nickel or quarter etc. I can place a quartz rock inside my device and when I scan sometimes I will get no hits and other places I would get a hit and walk the direction of the antenna box in my target area and start digging around! Because it will not be detected by a metal detector! What I do is set the weight discrimination to one pound or more as not to pick up microscopic quartz all day long.

That's the gist of it! I still get excited when that antenna pulls directly to the target area with no ghosting signals either from past dug outs or the sun causing reflective patterns from the quarts throughout the ground around projecting your target many feet from the target area in another direction! Even before John's engineer created this new frequency/frequencies, I was able still to find many coins with my unit during the day time and I found many empty holes also because I didn't know about this ghosting issue at the time! I purchased a fold up wagon with four wheels and the sides made of Nylon for $40.00 and I place my plastic tent stakes and machines all in the wagon and my wife's job is to pull it while I hunt down the treasure!

I am not ashamed to admit here I am simply not a dowser in every sense of the word! Yet I can use the TFR-1 that uses my body as a "ground" to find coins and I am successful at it! John told me because of the chemical/mineral mix he and his engineer designed allows more rod use than ground use by the body!

Really my wife does enjoy just waiting to see what it was I found and the wagon is light weight easy to pull on clumpy grass and dirt. Before she would have to carry all my stuff, the large metal detector a heavy back pack and my shovels and flashlight etc. When I purchased my two detectors in November of last year, I had to practice in the house but it works great because it won't pickup the nails or any metal or electromagnetic disturbance. I wanted to share with you information about my TFR-1, this device is a dowsing type rod, notice I said, "Dowsing Type"! I can't dowse! John told me it uses you as a secondary ground source if I understood him correctly. Most of its value and abilities come from the special chemical/mineral substance mix sealed inside the rod. With the Electroscope 301 or Model 80 etc. it will use your whole body as a ground and some are supersensitive and pickup all kinds of signals to find all sorts of weird stuff.




I used this random image, John has a better pair and I got those but I can detect out more than fifty feet since the first time I used them. These are not what you get when you get the TFR-2-4-1, you get a powerful L-Rod with all the internal trimmings to make it a cake walk hunting for coins in large areas. I use the copper L-Rods to pinpoint "X" over target area.

When the human body is involved directly in this case the experiences must count on the special chemical/mineral mix sealed inside the rod and your ability just to let it happen, in other words, just swing your scope in a 180 left to right and right to left when the antenna detects what your looking for it will lock on to it and if you purposely walk past it thinking it may have been you, you will be shocked to see the antenna swing back around you pointing back to the target you just past up! What I do and can do with this TFR-1 is not sanction by John. I am in no way affiliated with his company, I'm going to tell you what kind of experiments I used with the TFR-1. The experiences you are about to read can't be done with the TFR-2 or TFR-4 because those two models mentioned are not dowsing rods!

I received both of my rods my TFR-2 and TFR-1 at the same time. After I got use to how to balance it for a good hit over a coin etc. then I took my TFR-1 in hand. I told my wife, I want to locate your wedding band! I didn't have to use any samples! My wife hid hers, this I was unaware of and as I walked from the bedroom to the living room, I expected the antenna would have pointed to my wife since I know she always has it on her. It didn't when I came out into the living room it pointed to the far right of the living room from where she was standing and I followed it in and the antenna pulled into my left side telling me I am either on top of it or very near-by. I pulled up the carpet and there it was!

I tried it with the TFR2 and it wouldn't work that way, you have to have a physical sample. Since the TFR-1 uses the bio-electrical body; it needs no external batteries to work it!  Remember I am not a dowser, if you gave me coat hangers or sticks they just don't work for me! There is another phenomena involved here, this instrument seems to be tapping and that is the "Human Brain"! It too produces millions of electrical impulses! So far, until further notice I am able to think what it is I want to locate and I find it if it's a reasonable depth and length of walk. Last spring I only used the TFR-1 and found 1977 quarter and some wheat's and nickles and couple of dimes but no junk! Isn't that the craziest thing! His up to date TFR-1 now comes with TD/Target Discriminator like the TFR-2 and TFR-4! Now your body is out of the equation! I will pick up that box on this new order as well!

Another Long Range Treasure Hunters nightmare was digging up pure unwanted "Junk"! With the TFR's you won't pick up Junk no matter how much of it is on top your coin! It will just respond to the coins but you may with the detector pick up junk that's on top or mixed with the coin! Clear out the junk and look for the coin it's there!

All my finds were retrieve by my Garrett Metal Detector. The Rod pointed the way and once I got within a 4x4 foot area I would find it with my metal detector! This saves much time in the field and it's very accurate and you don't have to be a dowser! But if Johns dowsing rod bothers you from bad experiences elsewhere, he has the TFR-2 and TFR-4 that needs to run on battery power source not your body.  I will tell you I read many reports of people using these other LRL's and getting hits and not finding anything again no matter what model of Johns you desire, John and his engineer created as close to perfect of chemical/mineral powder and special Tesla Frequencies embedded within the steel accessory unit that blocks out all that "Junk". But the "junk" metals is just one hurdle the next hurdle is "Ghost" invaders!




The second hurdle which plaques many sellers equipment; that ghost reflection signals that are produce by the sun hitting the target in the ground producing 50-100 foot fake targets, which is why I had to go out before and after sunrise. I did it during the afternoon and got hits only to find nothing there but I did find some coins! John told me of a Steel capsule that he had, his engineer create used Tesla frequencies to program into it. This capsule isn't cheap and if I didn't know John any better I would have been weary of such a purchase. But John is a great man and out to save the LRL world from crashing! It cost me for this Steel capsule and he will improvise and create the same frequencies to delete ghosting  for my TFR-1, being I have so much fun with it!

That is quite the investment, had I not experience what John said I would, there would have been no way,  I mean no way, I would vest anymore monies into this instrument. He either discovered it last year or early this year with the Tesla frequencies to ignore all ghosting signals and to home on directly to the true target area. I haven't been out enough to say I found gold coins or silver coins because I couldn't get up before sunrise and always too tired at sunset around 9:00 pm. So I thought this Steel capsule would be perfect accessory to use, drop it in the TFR-2 or 4's canisters and shut the lid and set your discrimination what you willing to dig up and off you go, if it's out there the rod will find it!

I waited all my young adult life to purchase a model 301 Electroscope and I am fortunate I waited a bit longer and it by happen stance that I found Johns partially working website. He too purchased the Model 301 and made better improvements than the original model. So this helped me to reach for a higher realm of instrument capable of so many things for the fraction of the cost!


The only reason I am writing this is because when I go to Metal Detecting websites; anyone who talks about LRL, the inquisitive person asking the question is a taboo on them! The old timers who sell metal detectors say they don't work! Funny I have a jar of coins to prove it does! Using the other equipment out there, they maybe possibly right because some of those shady LRL are very expensive and don't work as advertised. When I met John on the phone and talked with him for about a week and months of emails back and forth, then I felt comfortable to purchase it. He gave me a money back guarantee!

The prices of some of these retailers for long range treasure finding can go from $1000-$20,000 and they are still plagued by the same issues, high noon sun (Sun Ghosts) I like to call them and empty hole (The Ghost's home where he resides). John seemed to up to this year 2018 taken care of all the Ghost issues! No more having to get up before or after sunrise and sunset!

I know the fears and the ridicules from so called professional metal detector hunters on these forums! They don't want anyone outside the metal detector business to cut into their business by having their potential customer purchase a small device for half the cost their expensive MD's but works like you paid $8000 for it! Fitzgerald offers his machines that go up to $20,000.00 installed in a pelican case and it too was used by John and other t.hunters I keep in contact with over the years, you have to place probes into the ground and walk in 360 degree circles with a pair of rods in  each hand, yikes, you see John was lucky to have a friend who shared the same interest and his friend is wealthy enough to vest into Johns research to be able to purchase these expensive boxes and find their weaknesses etc. This would help him improve his portable models where others seem to fail continuously.




Cache of silver that was found!


Is his TFR-2-4-1 the end all beat all, maybe and maybe not! We do have dedicated geologists who work with similar equipment they have made for themselves to locate minerals and precious ores, something you and I couldn't afford, if they did sell it out right! I want to address the question up front to get it out of everyones minds:If the rod is so good why is it that those purchased such equipment are not rich? Here is another question if a football or basketball coach is so good, why isn't he playing instead of the team? Fair question don't you think!

You already know the answer! You can give a winning stock to a stock trader and he can still lose money! It all depends what your looking for! There are serious hunters who do field research of the area they plan on hunting! Sometimes it will take them months before that field trip materializes and if the gold or the silver or anything else you maybe looking for is there in the first place, the rod will find them! I just wanted to get the silly questions off the table. But you could get rich; it only takes good research on a suspected area and the right rod to retrieve it! I know; I got the right rod, I just have to go beyond my city parks to historical areas that have no importance to the state or federal government but could produce good silver and maybe gold pieces.

Getting this TFR Rod was the best Christmas gift my wife ever thought of giving me. Now my metal detector is only used for retrieval, which it's now hardly ever used to swing all day long in the fields! Most times the coins are 5-6 inches under the soil and I can picked them up with my Garrett hand size coin probe, it has a light and it will sound out or buzz when it detects metal. Here is another bit of nugget of information, you hit your target and you box it in and you walk clockwise around the box and counterclockwise. Either direction should have the antenna pointing inside the box you placed tent stake at! If on a clockwise walk around with your rod and the rod turns the opposite way from the center of the box, this is telling you, you missed your target reset your box to the opposite side where the rod is pointing too!

I found out by sheer luck or trial, whichever fits the best, once my box is complete around my target, I go clockwise around my target and if the rod points to the center of the box at each corner, then I proceed doing a counterclockwise walk around, when one corner the rod points to the opposite side, this means the target in not in that box it's outside, I would have to re-do the box by moving the first two tent stakes and move them where the antenna pointed outside the box by walking and placing a stake at each corner I turned! Then redoing it once more and both clockwise and counterclockwise the antenna should be pointing inside the box from all corners.

I found this out by sheer trial and error about the walk around the box, lost of people never do this and they can be as far as 5-6 feet in that box off from the target spot! Once I am satisfied that on both clockwise and counterclockwise walk around the antenna points still inside the box, I will walk down the middle of the box and if the rod swings to the right that's where your target is and vice versa. Or we can do it the old fashion way, use your metal detector and scan the whole box from all directions, if it's not deeper than your metal detector is capable of finding; you will retrieve it. Another thing I wanted to mention, if you find the said target just starting out before you go out in that large area and from that spot you can use your discriminator from 0-100 + pounds; as you turn it slowly and scan the target, once you lose the pull, back down on your discriminator until you get that pull and that would be the weight of your target you found.




Top right of this box is a "Neutralizer" switch, after putting silver in it and you want to hunt for gold, just make sure the sample is clear then turn on the NS for 10 seconds and then add your next sample target! The reason for this is the machine makes the residual very strong from the other sample used!


Some rather just place the weight restrictions ahead of time, what they, the treasure hunter is willing to find before going out. On the TFR-2 the other unit I have, it runs off the electrical box and is a discriminator unit to find weights and get rid of junk metal, which contains special electronics that will block all junk and receive whatever you place into that specimen chamber! You can do the very same thing to test; to see what the weight of the target is before actually digging it up. With this unit you have a camera sling to carry the box unit on your side as you are hunting! There is something more special about the discriminator boxes, they have to plug-ins located on the bottom of the box, the first labeled "DC" and the second plugin labeled "Conduit". When you plug your rod from the bottom of your rod to the DC jack input it is called "Direct Current" both 9 volt batteries will be used! The smaller the gold and silver targets in gram weights the more voltage the rod needs to become sensitive enough to point and take you in. In DC mode, think of it as all "weight" mode . What happens when you use DC plugin your allowing weights from one ounce to thousands of pounds! 

Anything past 100lbs on the scale will find things the size of automobiles buried in the ground! If that is what you are wanting to find. Once you get your hit, then remove the plug from the DC to Conduit and measure that hit you received by scanning back and forth on the target! While in "Conduit" mode it will allow you to restrict the targets weight and you can walk it in. If on the DC mode you hit your target but in conduit at the same weight setting you can't pick it up then you have to bring down your weight until you get that same hit! Basically it's all up to you, you decide. I am just telling you the controls you have and what they are used for out in the field. Why am I using the stove for example or car buried because in the old days people who robbed banks would stuff the cash in a old broken down car and bury the entire car until later.

What I see happening; you were using your gold, silver, paper money capsule that you placed inside your discriminator box and it probably picked up the paper money weight, even if there were gold and silver coins there or it could be all (3)! You would just have to dig it up and find out for yourself. The only thing this rod can't accomplish, is only what a human can do, and that is to "dig up" the said "find"! What I discussed here was a broad overview of my two instruments, I can't tell you anything more than what I already know about the device! Talk to John he knowns his proprietary instrument quite well!

I purchased the TFR-2 because it can find a 3 gram of gold in a coin up to 2000 feet in any direction and will lock on to the target once there and detect it from 4-8 feet deep! You will have to watch one of Johns youtube videos!

That TFR-1 when not using any electronics that is now available for it, except only the chemical/mineral compound sealed inside the unit itself and your body as a ground, it surprises me every single day when I use it! I wish I only bought one or the other! They both work great! The TFR-2 goes 2000 feet outward and can find 3 gram gold Mexican pesos down too 4-6 feet deep! John has the video of this one! I am sorry I am not going to go that deep for any coin no matter! They would probably being burying me with the same shovel afterwards! I am 60 years old got to slow down some these days!




This is CTX3030 from Minelab their top of the line cost $2500.00 and all it can do is find metal for you when your on top of it. Can't tell you where its located or the weight of the target in fact outside itself beeping is the only thing it can do!


I wish I could share with you what I have been doing above and beyond the TFR-1's abilities on here but I promised someone I wouldn't. But if you desire for more information about my experiments using the TFR-1 just write shapokolay@gmail.com . Last summer a couple who purchase some cheap metal detectors from WALMART were entering this big field and all I had was the TFR-1 Rod! By the time they ground balanced their machines I had my hit and was already in the "retrieval" process! It took 3 1/2 minutes from start to box and another 2 minutes approximately to recover the coin! The two detectorists were still swinging away!

I came back to my starting point and re-scanned a 180 arc and got another hit and walked it in and boxed it, then retrieved another coin in about a total of 5 minutes! Finally the husband and wife came over and asked what I was using, I told them and he had a look of disbelief about it! I told him here are my two coins since before you all started, it only took me ten minutes! She said, how is that possible? Well, it would be too lengthy to talk about, the only thing I could do is give you this website and you can read about it. Lot's of metal detector people don't like Rods like this, some say it not fair, others say it doesn't work!

You seen first hand it does work, so he asked if he and she could watch this next hit! I said sure! I walked back to the park at the parking lot this gives me a good field of vision of the park itself, I said, let's find a dime! So I said, out loud, "Find me a U.S. dime"! I scanned left to right and right to left and got another hit! When I dug it up it was a U.S. Dime, now what would be the odds of that happening in a park that was two football fields in length? Pretty High I would imagine if I were a betting man! The guy and his wife said, we have definitely got to get one of these, so I broke the news and told them the price, they looked at each other and said we will just stick with the time proven method for poor people, the metal detector! :)
