I had a broken toggle on my machine and Ok John was the only place that was able to help me. He custom built a part for me and fixed it right up. He was friendly, responsive and professional. 100 percent recommend.

Well done Robin and family. Good thing you had a rain / default day and it turned out to be just right. Not too hot and a great turn out. It's not just about the detecting but an opportunity to meet with so many other detectorists. It's an opportunity to put a face to a name and create new, long lasting friendships. That's what this hobby is all about. Thanks again and the Beach Bonanza is definitely on next year's to do list. Thanks again!!! Roger (Metalman9) Fontaine

Great place to purchase your detecting equipment. Rob is very knowledgeable in all aspects of detecting . His involvement with the community in regards to putting on detecting events is outstanding . I would highly recommend purchasing your detecting equipment from OK John’s Detector.

Can't get much better than Ok John's Metal Detecting. They have pretty much everything you need to buy for beginners to advance detectorists. Rob's a pleasant guy to talk to.

This is an amazing place to go get metal detectors! My dad does nothing but talk about metal detecting because it is his life and soul. Love this so much 💕 He doesn't shut up about how excited he is whenever someone new comes to the store. He hosts incredible seeded dig events that are so much fun, and great for beginners. You can talk with other detectorists about your cool finds, about tips and tricks, and meet new people. Please check out the Ok John Metal Detectors website for more!
