[QUOTE="Guest, post: 62637"] You should get one then you could come forth & enlighten all of us who have wasted our time & money on buying genuine products - Minelab or otherwise. When you figure out that your Chinese version won't detect an engine block at 1mm let alone a sub gram nugget you'll be able to tell us all what a bargain you got. :rolleyes: :lol: I've read reports on other forums, try Google, that say the inner workings are from cheap VLF's so yes some may work to a degree. The timings etc. are basically just knobs & menus for show. They don't do anything!!! Another report on one tested in Africa they couldn't get it to detect anything at all! My daughters toy one from kmart will even detect metal objects :lol: If anyone has a fake & would like to arrange a comparison let me know. I'm sure we can arrange a non biased judge of performance.
