LukeJ Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 To tell you the truth, I was a little worried about posting that link since I don't want to take any business away from Bill. Thankfully he does training, so he still has one up I suppose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I had a guy bring in a GPX4500 about two years ago that was not working. I was checking the easy things. Testing the curly cord, trying out a new fully charged battery. Then I started to notice little things about the machine. It was counterfeit. But I tell you, if I had not worked with these detectors for many years, I would have never known. The thing was spot on 98%. Just weird little things. Like the charging light on the battery was just an LED behind a plastic lens. The Minelab is the same except the lens has little concentric circles. The blue color of the machine was off, but you could only tell side by side with an authentic machine. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
