Sorry, this is a piece of China Junk. Do not buy it at any price. For the money you can get a really nice Garrett Ace 250 for less money as one example. http://www.garrettcentral.com/index.php?srcad=Garrett-Metal-Detectors We have dealers here on this forum that would not cheat you out of your hard earned money.

BTW, welcome to Tnet.

Take Care,

The part that ticks me off about China/Asia is they could actually build good detectors if they really wanted to.... but they're all about maximizing profits with little to no regard for the customer. The only time they step up their game is when a little better quality product makes an even bigger profit, and fake watches is a good example of that. If there was big money in detectors you'd probably see better quality, but the way things are right now most, if not all, are junk.

You should also watch the classified ads area here on T-Net. I see many great deals pass through all the time.
