IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FINDING PRECIOUS MINERALS AND LOST TREASURE LIKE I HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 11 YEARS  AND ARE TIRED OF EMPTY HOLES,DIGGING LEAD,JUNK METALS AND EXPENSIVE LONG RANGE LOCATORS THAT DONT DELIVER FOR THE ASKING PRICE, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER AND SAVE HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND INVEST IN THE BEST THERE IS ON THE MARKET TODAY AS YOU WILL BE GLAD THAT YOU DID ONCE YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT THIS INSTRUMENT IS CAPABLE OF!
DONT "BUY IN" TO ALL THE B.S. THAT YOU SEE ON SOME OF THE TREASURE HUNTING FORUMS BY CERTAIN NEGATIVE AND SKEPTICAL INDIVIDUALS SAYING THAT ALL LRL'S ARE A SCAM. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND FIELD TESTING BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT A "FINAL CONCLUSION" ABOUT ALL LRL'S". FAILURE TO "INTERPRET THE SIGNALS CORRECTLY" IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON THAT PEOPLE FAIL TO FIND TREASURE WITH A PERCENTAGE OF LONG RANGE LOCATORS THAT ARE SOLD ON THE MARKET TODAY, NOT BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY WORK!! ONCE YOU LEARN THIS MOST "IMPORTANT FACTOR" THAT OTHER LRL MANUFACTURERS "WILL NOT TEACH YOU" AND YOU LEARN THE METHODS THAT I WILL TEACH YOU IN THE TFR-4 TRAINING VIDEO, THEN YOU WONT BE DIGGING A LOT OF EMPTY HOLES ANYMORE!!

 WITH THE NEW TFR-4 ELECTRONIC FREQUENCY LOCATOR WITH A BUILT IN "TARGET DISCRIMINATOR" YOU WILL KNOW YOUR TARGETS SIZE "BEFORE" YOU DIG ANY HOLES!!
The built in target discriminator on the TFR-4 Electronic control box will allow you to only pick up on targets that you are searching for in a specific "size" and weight range. Once you dial in the desired weight you will not get a signal on any targets out of that range which is a tremendous advantage when you are searching for caches or gold nuggets and you want to only concentrate on a "specific" weight. For example: if you only want to find gold nuggets in the one ounce range then you would simply adjust the dial to that number on the Discriminator. You can also concentrate on 10lbs,20lbs,50lbs or even a 500lb sized target with this new technology we are using in this device. Targets in the 1000lb or more range can also be dialed into the Discriminator by setting the dial on the maximum setting. Imagine being able to "concentrate" on the exact size of the gold or treasure that you are searching for and finding out if its really there or not without any "interference" from any other sized targets for miles! One more huge advantage to have if you buy our TFR-4 ELECTRONIC Long Range Frequency Locator with the built in Discriminator that other similar rods on the market cannot compete with!
 

The TFR-4 Locator is extremely powerful with the voltage running through the mineral power load so only a one gram sample such as a gram of gold or silver will be good enough to make it work. Important! you must use an exact similar type of metal or mineral that you are searching for to insert into the bait chamber! For example if you are searching for gold nuggets then you will need to use a small gold nugget from the region or area that you are searching in the sample chamber. If you are searching for refined gold or silver then you will need to insert a sample of refined gold or silver such a  ring or small piece of jewelry.

Take advantage of this special opportunity to own a treasure hunting instrument like this that "outperforms" similar devices costing much more!
There is now included in the Demo and Training video a new section titled: How to determine Ghost-Residual targets from real buried ones. This section is very important to learn and you will have this knowledge in your arsenal included with the TFR-4 purchase as this information is not available anywhere else! There is also a section included now in the Instructional CD showing you how to do a simple test that will show you depth of the target you have found "BEFORE" you dig any holes to retrieve it.

I have the evidence to back up my claims with this device and if you would like to speak to me in person about this instrument or make me a reasonable offer then call me at: (954)496-0440.
 I will not refuse any reasonable offers!

Here are some recent questions and answers submitted to me about the TFR-4 for those who have similar inquiries:
Question:

Hello Sir,I am interested in your TFR-4 Locator. I wanted to know if possible
you can modify it with  some techniques for
high performance in avoiding signals from anti-interference
exceeded most rock minerals,false magnetic signals,junk metals like,lead,aluminum,steel and brass and
without location of Water & Iron or false ground disturbances?

Answers: The TFR-4 Electronic Locator is the result of 6 months of research and development. It is using technology with special encoded frequencies that will not get any interference from rock minerals,magnetic rocks,water,iron,stones rich in mineral salts,quartz stone,stone sulfur,lead,Aluminum,glass,steel,or rusted iron. These frequencies that are encoded in the sealed power load mix of special secret minerals and 6 different natural conductors have been field tested repeatably to avoid all of these false signals and junk metals that you have mentioned and more. The only way that you can get a signal to any of these junk metals my friend is if you place a sample of lead,iron etc into the sample chamber of the TFR-4 Rod.
Regarding your question: What is the range of the the types of metals and minerals that you can find with this device?"
You can find Gold,Silver,Diamonds,Bronze,Copper,Refined Gold and Natural Gold. Any type of metal or mineral you can use a sample of what you are searching for in the sample chamber,even you can put inside there a piece of meteorite or anything else you wish to search for because the device is using "FREQUENCY RESONANCE" TECHNOLOGY,so whatever you place in the sample chamber it will then amplify that exact same frequency and look for its twin.
As far as making the modification on the Discrimination dial to replace 1 gram with 10 grams and 2 grams with 20 grams:
We cannot change the weight settings on the dial but these exact weights you desire are already on the dial,you will just need to test and experiment to find the exact spot on the dial and mark it with a pencil. For ex.10 grams will be half way past the 2 gram mark on the dial just as 20 grams will be 3/4 the way past the 2 grams mark and just below the 1 ounce mark. Every single weight on the scale is working on the dial my friend you just need to experiment with sample weights of your own and mark the rest of the weights in between the marked weights on the dial because there are too many weights and not enough room for us to mark every single weight for you.
Next question: Can I search for targets of all sizes without using the weight discrimination dial on the device without losing any power from the batteries voltage? Is this possible with the TFR-4 Locator?
Answers:
Yes,you can search for all targets at once regardless of their weight or size by switching over to the "Direct Voltage Mode". On this setting the TFR-4 will have zero discrimination and will get signals on any sized targets of the same metal or mineral that you have in the sample compartment and will be using complete power from the battery and the sealed power load in the TFR-4 Rod.
Last question: Is the TFR-4 device affected by the persons blood type and can it work with any person?
Answers:
This device can be used by anyone regardless of their blood type because it is not working with the energy of the body of the person. This device is completely electronic and working with the batteries voltage and the special crystalline and 6 mineral mix that is in the rods chamber. It is completely independent of your bodies energy field so it is "NOT A DOWSING ROD"

Latest customer testimonials recently received for the TFR- 4 from a Gold Prospector in Australia!
Here is two recent testimonials I just received on 9/2/16 and 8/30/16 from a customer in Australia for the TFR- 4 Locator shortly after he received the device:

Hi John,

Tested TFR-4 rod range today with 4g gold in chamber, and 2 gold rings as target.

Put rod cable in "Direct Voltage" mode and went out 1000ft, Rod searched and found target

with ease.  Pretty neat system, next target range was 1500ft.  No problem with the

TFR-4  picking up target.  Gold in chamber finds gold target. When closer to target

change plug to "Conduit Connector" Discrimination Mode and dial in your signal.

 Next test was to place steel as target and gold in chamber. The rod had no direction

when asked to find steel target.  Ok now I change and place steel into the sample chamber, straight away there was

a reaction on the steel target when the rod was searching . Gold in the chamber will find gold only.  Steel metals in chamber

will find steel only.

Cheers, Allan

Received from same Australian Customer on 8/30/16 for the TFR- 4 Locator:

Hi John,

Field tested the TFR-4 rod today. Placed 4g gold nugget

in chamber and then placed 2 gold rings in a plastic cup then selected " Direct Voltage".

First test at 300ft  TFR-4 rod picked it up straight away.

I turn around 360 degrees and the rod swung back in the right direction.

As you walk closer to the target you can box in the target.
When over target the rod rotates.
Second test was at 600 ft. worked exactly the same.
Tested also in windy conditions, no problems and very stable.
The TFR-4 rod worked exactly as described on your You tube video clips and CD's.
Up to speed in first hour of practice using the rod, looking forward to hitting the gold fields.
Thank you for such an amazing device!
Cheers,
Allan in "The land down under".

Recent TFR-1 Rod Testimonial
 Received on 4/02/16!

  I want to Thank John and his company for the great customer service on the TFR-1 Treasure Finding Rod. I am including some pictures of some (not all) of my finds as I have used the TFR-1 rod to find close to an ounce of gold nuggets and a few meteorites on several weekend prospecting trips over the last 6 months. I am in the Southwest Arizona desert here in an area near Wickenburg where there are a lot of hot rocks and heavy mineralization in the ground, but the TFR-1 rod avoids these minerals very efficiently and points me the way to where the gold is. I use the TFR-1 to locate where to start digging and walk slowly with it balanced and let the rod point me where to go. This TFR-1 locator goes much deeper than the standard detectors do and it will guide you to your targets from far away. I have found several 1 to 2 gram + gold nuggets at over 18 inches deep in the ground and from over 50 yards away using this locator,simply amazing!  When you are directly over a target you hold the TFR-1 still and level and it will spin around about twice then stop then spin around twice the other way and you can be sure that you have found a good target! If you run your metal detector over it and it does not go off don't worry, just dig and keep digging until you find it because the TFR-1 goes very deep!  I have tried the Simmons Rods and other locators over the years with frustration and dug a lot of junk targets and false signals but  this TFR-1 locator is by far and away the best one I have ever seen as I am not digging any junk anymore! The TFR-1 is light and easy to get around with,It balances very nicely in your hands and I can hunt all day with it without my wrist getting tired. Your in good hands with this company as emails and phone calls are always returned plus a lot of helpful concepts and advice. Practice at home is a (must). Watch the training DVD and study the Instruction CD . Remember, the biggest treasure is getting out of the house and city into the great outdoors but having the TFR-1 rod in my arsenal is guaranteed to add excitement and possible finds to my prospecting and treasure hunting expeditions.

Read this recent testimonial submitted to me buy a customer who was so impressed with the TFR-1 he ended up buying two of these instruments from me!
My name is L. Smith and Im a Treasure and Cache Hunter with 25 years of Dowsing experience. I'm offering my testimonial here as validation on the performance of the TFR-1 Treasure Gold and Silver Dowsing Rod. I have tested this instrument on sample targets and in the field and in my opinion it is alot more powerful than the Simmons PMR- 2 and PMR-3 Dowsing rods (As I own both of these instruments so I was able to compare them to the TFR-1 Rod in side by side testing). I was very impressed with the sensitivity and the power of this TFR-1 Rod on targets in distance and accuracy and this is why I bought a second one recently for a friend of mine. The TFR-1 is very well made with professional craftsmanship,it is a lighter weight and balances very nicely in your hands. It is also not "front heavy" like some other models that are on the market today that tire your wrist after hours of use in the field.
Testimony submitted on 07/29/14 by L.Smith in Alabama.

Another testimonial just sent to me by a customer in Brazil on 1/14/2015
This gentleman purchased the TFR-1 Rod and Target Discriminator Combo and hes a member of an Archaeological team at a University in Brazil.

Dear sparticus18,

My friend ...

Your device is one of the best I have ever seen.

I have 2 points in the bush, where has gold landfill legends.

One is marked in 2.5 kg and another by 25.00 kg, we are very excited and we dig it right out sun, because here in Brazil it's raining a lot.

Concerning the discriminating device it is very accurate, did repeat tests with pounds of beans and rice etc, and exact measurement every time.

Thank you for this wonderful device.

If we find something great here in Brazil of course we will remember you.

Heres one more testimonial just received on 3/16/2015 from a professional Treasure hunter in Illinois!!

Dear sparticus18,

    I am a 35 year cache hunter/dowser and have tested every new rod or technology available through the years and your TFR-1 Rod is the most accurate and powerful locator on the market. It doesn't hit junk (such as lead and iron) as other devices do. A well made heirloom quality instrument!  These are the distance ranges of the rod on test targets without the TFR-Amplification Booster accessory and with:  5 grams gold at two feet depth - (500/800 feet )  - 4lb chondrite meteorite on ground surface - (480/600 feet) - Real world cache sites (5-10 miles) - The Target Discriminator is icing on the cake and a very useful tool. A very impressive combo!

Another testimonial letter just received on 5/22/15 from a customer in the Philippines!

 Dear Sparticus18,

My aunt  purchased the TFR-1 Dowsing Rod  with the  TFR-AB Gold and Silver and Extreme Power Amplification Boosters through Ebay last April 14, 2015. She send it to me the said items from Ireland to my hometown here in the Philippines... i already got the package yesterday and i saw already the information's/instructional videos in the two (2) cds. Earlier today, I practiced  ground balancing using the TFR-1 which was done with good results... in a few minutes, I already learned to balance the handling of the TFR-1. After which, I put my wedding ring in the sample chamber in the TFR-Discriminator box with the help of my wife and i started to locate the other half wedding ring of my wife that she buried and hide (practice only)..In  just a few seconds, we found it. The gadget bring me to the location area that my wife kept it... we are so very shocked about the results and we are very happy... when i am in the surface area of the ring, the TFR-1 started to rotate 360 degrees like the rotor blade of a helicopter... and when I search for  it to the ground, I found the ring that my wife hide it every time (for practice only)
thank you so much sir...

Here are some questions
and answers recently submitted to me about the TFR-1 Rod that can help others with similar questions:

Dear sparticus18,

Is the long range Gold Detector coming with the Crystal for the chamber? Also is there a chance where the Crystals may run out of Frequencies to the point where the Crystals need to be Recharged? If the product comes with the Crystals, how much of them are included?
Thanks!

- adroit73

Dear adroit73,

Hello my friend and thank you for your interest,the answer to your question is yes the TFR-1 Rods come with the new advanced frequency charged crystals already installed by the machinist during construction in the sealed power load chamber of the rod that is directly behind the sample well where you insert the metal or the mineral that you are searching for. These crystals are about the size of a raisin and are very powerful amplifiers. Believe it or not there is only one place in the world where you can get these crystals from and the ones that we are using are from these mines and are authentic,as the ones that are not genuine will absolutely not work. These specific crystals once they are charged with this advanced piece of equipment will never lose their charge for life because of the special way that they are charged..The individual that is charging these crystals for us has been a student of Quantum Physics and other sciences for many years and understands crystalline structures "waveforms" and how to harness their power. Once these crystals are charged they then act as powerful "amplifiers" so whatever is near them in the sample chamber gets magnified and is then attracted to the same frequency out the antenna of the rod.The only way the crystals can lose their charge is if they are exposed to direct sunlight for a period of time or magnetic fields, so this is the reason that we install them in the brass sealed chamber of the rods to keep them protected. They are positioned right behind the brass plug that separates the empty sample chamber on the rod and the mineral power-load mix. You can rest assured that each TFR-1 Rod has 1 of these charged crystals installed and we can guarantee that and the distance ranges that we claim the rod can achieve. Please check our most recent positive Ebay feedback as proof of what I am saying here and our claims as a customer recently found a gold target with our TFR-1 rod at a 1 mile range.

Dear sparticus18,

Hi,

I'm a treasure hunter and work only with a metal detector and what's I know about long range Locator is that it's difficult to find something because of images (gold something like 11 images)...how -to pinpoint the real one?

I have a lot of experience in the field with a metal detector and I want to learn something new and practice if possible to learn only if it's really possible to find something. It's new for me.

If I put a couple of silver dimes in the chamber and set the gauge to this dimension can I expect to find silver dimes and/or silver items only?

I saw in a french book that Autinite (radioactive material) are insert in that kind of long range Locator. So, autinite or another radioacative material?

Approximately how many hours of practice is necessary to find a silver dime ?

- dadosnoopy


Dear dadosnoopy,

Hello and thank you for your questions because they are good ones. The images that you are talking about are a problem for treasure hunters because they can throw you off if someone has already found and removed a treasure that you are searching for and this false-image is still locked in the ground where the treasure was buried at one time. These images are called "Ghost-Residuals" and from time to time you will encounter them. I am the only Long Range manufacturer that Im aware of that has a section in my training video that will teach you how identify, test for and then get rid of these false signals " before" you will be digging any large holes. The majority of the other false signals that you have heard about are very simple to avoid once you can understand what is causing them. These have to do with "Solar Radiation" that distorts the magnetic fields of the earth and the energy fields or "auras" surrounding the treasures in the ground that you are searching for. These disturbances and how to deal with them are also explained in detail in my instruction CD that is included with the TFR-1 Rod. To answer your questions about the silver dimes:
Yes if you put in a sample of silver in the sample compartment then the rod will be attracted to silver but  you do not need to put in more than one mercury silver dime in the sample chamber as 2 grams of material is more than enough to find silver coins or other items made of silver like jewelry,necklaces,etc. You can adjust the weight of the Target Discriminator dial to 2 grams (the weight of the mercury dime) or 3 grams,1 ounce,or any weight you wish and you will find that exact weight adjusted on the dial. So lets say there is 5 mercury dimes all together in a cluster buried in the ground,so you would simply adjust the dial on the Discriminator to 10 grams setting with your mercury dime in the chamber and you would then get a signal to that cluster. The Target Discriminator is very useful for concentrating on coins,rings etc. that are in certain weight ranges so you can narrow down these targets in a short amount of time and avoid signals from other targets that are a different size from what you are searching for.
There is no radioactive material inside my equipment and what you have heard is true about some of the different models of dowsing rods on the market today but these amounts are so small that they pose no danger to a person as the radioactivity is sealed and in safe levels.

To answer your last question: The amount of time learning to use this instrument can vary from person to person but its usually pretty quick the learning curve as its operation is very simple once you get the hang of it. You can read my latest testimonial posted on my auction from a customer named Jayson in the Philippines who had no training or experience using the TFR-1 Rod and after watching my training video and spending a little time learning to balance the instrument correctly (like within one day) he was able to find the wedding ring his wife buried repeatably in his back yard during practice testing.
If you already have experience using a metal detector then this device will speed up your searching time in the field very fast because with a metal detector you can only get a signal once you are directly over the metal and if your search coil is within range of that metal and then you are not even sure what the metal is that you found until you dig it out of the ground. With the TFR-1 Rod and Discriminator you can find your targets from very far away (even miles) and you will know what type of metal you are getting a signal on and even the exact weight range of your targets "before" you spend any time digging them out of the ground, so im sure you can see the advantages of having a tool like this in your hands to use along side your detector.
P.S. There is also a section on my training video that will teach you how to pinpoint your target even if its out of range of your detector coil buried in the ground as the TFR-1 rod will pick up on targets that are very deep. Hope this information can give you some better clarity,regards John
