What is a best high dollar metal detector that's made overseas?

I might as well use my business licence and see what I can do. What is the best performing metal detector that is made overseas? China, Japan? The must have some market in that department. Must be old news to you guys! I'm just finding out about this so I was shocked. Now that I looked up a few threads I can see they are not the same or maybe they are idk? I can't see them faking the same everything that mine lab does, but then again look at the coins. You never know what your getting better off sticking to USA. The rover is German, that is factory direct.

The key word there is "probably" fakes. Like many other things, buying such items from China is a gamble. Sometimes you can end up with a very good product, even if it IS fake. But when it comes to China, I'm not willing to take that much of a risk. My wallet is really thin as it is.

The picture is not a picture of a GPX 5000 and you will never find a genuine GPX 5000 for a couple hundred dollars in any country...
