DOES EDDDY JOHN REALLY FIND ALL THAT STUFFF

or buys them at a flea market then plants them and finds them with his Green Hornet machine. We had a guy or two in our club do this 20 years ago and a few in the current club still do this at hunts. We know who you are.
I have been lurking reading Garrett Posts and achived posts and can't help but notice the Master Treasure Hunter this John from Edmonton is....
I'm sorry, just can't see him findins so much each trip out. I search just as much as him in the same type of areas finding loads of coins, rarely any silver as most spots are cleaned out of that long ago. Rarely find any gold on land, maybe one pc. for every 700 hours of hunting. Now and then a silver ring, and I dig my share of junk. I do find gold and silver rings in the water every outing.
By the way I have had over 6 different Garrett detectors over the past 15 years.
Boy, would I like to find hunting grounds like in EDmonton, must be almost virgin grounds...but, isn't there a club there with 100 members who scoured the area for the past 30 years??? Guess Johnski, tells them to go buy a cheap $40.00 Radio Shack detector, so they give up not finding anything and leave it for the Greeny Machine guy--Johnski.
Just poking fun at you John, because you find so much in such a little free time you have to go hunting with your work and family----don't you sleep at least 2 hours per night, LOL.
 
Detecting in Canada has not caught on nearly as much as the US. Basically what it comes down to is John has a good detector, knows how to use it, and has the ability to put himself in the sites that have something to offer. Heck I could even take the first two factors out and find lots where I live. The bottom line is it's gotta be there or you ain't finding it.
 
He's a stubborn SOB too! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
John E. has been described, on THIS forum, as the "greediest man in the whole of Canada"... (not by me of course), but it is a title he will not, cannot deny.

they all became believers with John's March 15, 2004 post with pictures of his curio cabinets filled with his massive collections of found rings, necklaces/pendants, earrings, badges, lighters, relics, bullets, etc., and that didn't even include his coin collection. John has the right formula: a good detector that he is so familiar with that it is like x-ray vision, desire to keep learning more, knowledge of where the best places to hunt are and the guts to hunt them (he doesn't care who's watching), and the drive to hunt every spare minute. I read a post of his the other day where he talked about 7 continuous hours in the water. His winter posts/pics showing his attempts at detecting in snow and ice, though not always successful, well demonstrate his dogged determination. Not many non-retired guys give it as much time and effort as John. His finds aren't luck, he earns and deserves every find. I think I can speak for all long-time viewers of this forum in saying we've also become more skilled just from reading John's posts. Thank you John, I've learned a lot more from you than just making coin rings.

Haha. We have a guy here on Long Island that some swear does the same, but their wrong! This guy almost always finds rings at the beaches every outing. I've been there when he dug a few. He just happens to always be in the "right" place, and that's all there is to it. It's more like the rings find him, then the other way around, haha. I just happen to be the opposite. <img src="/metal/html/sad.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":sad">
 
to answer the question many lurkers may have. Does John
really find all that stuff...it's so unbelievable.
Metal detecting is like fishing, only 10% of participants catch all the fish (find the most stuff).
Treasure hunting--- It takes knowledge on where to go, daring to enter places that no one else will, withstand all weather conditions, stubborness to hunt areas considered hunted out, intuition, a GREAT metal detector like Garrett and the ability to use it at it's full potential.
THIS IS JOHN
May you find your treasure of a lifetime.
Good luck and happy hunting.
 
Yeah John is just lucky enough to be in some virgin territory and he is a crack detectorist to boot with a great machine.
