While I have heard many good things about Minelab MD'ers, the one negative I've heard from more than one person was their customer service. Whether its true or not, I don't know. It could be the corona virus chaos holding things up, but when it comes to buying a new machine, I always consider how companies service their products when there is something wrong. Good luck with your MD issues. I hope you are able to resolve them...

That's not what we normally read about their customer service.

well, i'm 73 and i don't fib... I can show you the emails but of course I can't let you listen to the 2 phone conversations. Not just a brief talk but a long enough conversation to tell them all of what they wanted to know and answered any questions that they had.

I wasn't trying to say you weren't being truthful, just that this is not normally what we hear. I'm not sure what the problem is but good luck getting it resolved.

Give this number a call. 814-283-4270 , this is Detector Center's number. They are Minelab's repair center located in PA. They can help you out with this since it has not been resolved otherwise.

I called Steve again at Minelab customer support and this time he ordered a new stand for me. I even have a tracking number and might be here by next Monday. Yay. The squeaky wheel for the oil at last.
