I did work for Minelab for 5 years, don't work for them any longer and yes I can tell the difference between a real and fake Minelab.

The link I supplied is for authorized Minelab dealers, they are not knock offs, and Minelabs do work in Philippines as well as in Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, anywhere in the far east.

I also know several people who have hunted beaches in Philippines using Excals and done very good and one of the places hunted was Blue Water.

It was Cudamark reply that i was taking as a joke i guess he never been here ..An my joke was anyone who owns 6 minelabs and push there products has to work for them .. Am sorry for this attitude but life here is all scams and the system is run by con artists ..enless u been here for at least a year u understand people here put on a poker face for the tourists ..I never thought anyone here was trying to scam me ..My dad told me that the dealer for minelab was near angeles city if u know the place then u know the answer ..Scam city for the tourists ..

If you look at my profile, you can see that I have several other brands of detectors too. I'm not affiliated with any detector company. I've been detecting for over 51 years now and have used dozens of different detectors. The reason I have several Minelab machines is that they work better than the others and I like them. If you don't want to buy from an authorized Minelab dealer, so be it. No skin off my nose.

cudamark i only took the reputable dealer as a joke i did notice u used many brands of detector and never thought u were a mole for minelab sorry about that .. minelab days are numbered just like apple ..My dad once told me what happened to all the cellphone companies its now happening to metal detector companies ..Once the chicoms come up with something new and proven better thats the end to the rest ..First the copy stage then soon someone will sell out a new design ..when i have time whatever clone models i use ill show my tests ..It seems that no one has used the whites clone which could be a good detector i seen that garrett sells the whites gold machine but not there beach model due to the fact they sell the ATX i guess ..all the videos i watched i think the dual field a better machine but i could be wrong ..And once again thank u for your comments

Minelab days are far from numbered, their sales exceed other manufactures, Minelab sales for FY 2020 which ended in June was $236 million, up $54 million over 2019, which was up $41 million over 2018.

Minelab is not an independent company they are a subsidiary of Codan, Minelab sales has increased ever year for the last 7 years from 70 million in 2014 to 236 million in 2021. ($176.5 US dollar) Their sales continue to increase and their stock has doubled over the year.
