[QUOTE="Maldon Gold Centre, post: 396006, member: 11129"] The only similarity between a Chinese copy of the detectors mentioned and the real thing is that the Chinese have copied the plastic housings very well. The internal electronics is just rubbish. There's no amount of homework you can do that will make a Chinese Garrett, Fisher, Teknetics clone work like the real thing, the copies are all junk. It's misinformation to suggest that people can buy a Chinese copy with homework, because you're not getting anything close to the original other than it looks the same. Garrett, Fisher and Teknetics detectors are all made in the USA, they use custom chips, the designs of which are not trivial to copy. When people read your comments and buy a Chinese piece of junk based on those comments they're going to end up having given money away to scammer. Is that what you want? [/QUOTE]
