First Texas Pursues Counterfeiters

Did Minelab not go though the same thing a few years ago?

Amazing what people will do to profit from others research.

You can buy counterfeit detectors all day long. Minelab and First Texas have been hit particularly hard simply because their machines have been very popular with gold prospectors in Africa. Most counterfeits are blocked from sale in the U.S. but are readily available elsewhere. Buyer beware. Any brand new detectors being sold substantially below the Minimum Advertised Price that manufacturers enforce should be immediately suspect. "Too good to be true" is your best form of protection.

That's a very satisfying crunch!
