[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 207179, member: 4012"] They're not uncommon on eBay, sometimes described as 'replica' in the fine print, to try to get around the counterfeit angle. If you buy one from other than an authorised Australian dealer you are taking a big chance with your money, IMHO. There's also what looks to me to possibly be a brand-named version of the fake, sold as Gold Hunter pinpointers: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1447992619_gold_hunter1.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1447992619_gold_hunter2.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1447992619_gold_hunter3.jpg[/img] They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
