[QUOTE="diggit, post: 429807, member: 3031"] I've heard numerous people bemoan the black Garretts AM, the 'issue' with falsing is usually either operator error or slightly shorter batteries than those supplied with the propointer. Occasionally the solder cracks in the battery connections and this does happen and cause 'Bona fide' falsing. However most 'falsing' is usually something else entirely. Black Garretts are not suited for mineralised ground such as the Golden Triangle but wet sand doesn't bother them at all! Before you turn it on you hold the tip of the propointer to the ground and turn it on. Essentially ground balancing it to the location you're at. This will fix 99.5% of 'falsing' and it is something many people fail to do. Trust me I have 100s of hours with black garretts and I've had one in my arsenal since they were released. I have replaced one because I simply left it behind somewhere. I'm not affiliated with them in any way but I do recommend people have the right tools for the job. In my experience Minelab make great detectors but sh1t pinpointers. Maybe my minelab PF is a dud but it is an average pinpointer to be honest. [/QUOTE]
