MD 3009, like all the MD series, made in China, and basically using old technology. However, the 3009 has had quite a following in the Military relic hunting scene in Europe. Seems to be based on old Whites technology.
About 3 of the 30 or 40 Chinese models seem to do reasonably well (Although not as deep) as western detectors, but quality control leaves a lot to be desired.
Several companies sell them as made in Germany, or made in England, or probably even made in USA, when in fact they are probably only imported as is, or maybe has a badge and box change in these countries. Computers are comparable, you need so many percent of the total cost of an item to be charged in a country to make it a product of that country. Take a computer, buy it complete in China fifty dollars, then in the new country that´s imported it,add a new box, marketing costs, the cost of the offices and chairman, and you have suddenly a computer made in ? (Not in China)......................
