I resonantly returned a pinpointer to Garrett for repair and it was discovered to be Counterfeit. take a look at the pictures it's pretty obvious when it's side by side with a real one. Can you "pinpoint" which one is real ?? yeah I had to do that LOL

I actually got my money back and because the seller had a history of selling counterfeit items paypal said don't bother sending it back. So I guess I have some spare parts now LOL. I also called ebay and informed them to notify another buyer that bought a second one he sold that he has a counterfeit.

Yeah it's pretty easy to tell which one is fake.The paint is even flaking off, this one worked but didn't have any range it also only beeps once it won't continue beeping unless it is moving. That's one of the things Garrett says to look for. It's amazing how close the label on the battery cover it to the original.

   Most companies would had smashed it with a Hammer and chucked it out.  THE END.   Mine Lab most likely would had contacted the Law Firm.
