auminesweeper Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Someone posted this else where, after they sent in their pin pointer in to Garrett to have it repaired only to find out is was a Fake, Lucky for him he used Ebay Via Paypall and got his money back and the Son of a Chinese Meadow Lady has been reported, Can you tell them apart ?? my guess is the top one is Real but I am not sure john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Looking at some mag's with the word Garrett and the T's I'd say the bottom one. Chuck Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Well I was going to say the bottom one is real but the thumb hole on that one looks too deep? A Fat lot of use I am ?? I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The "A" gives it away for me, but I'd never notice if someone didn't say one was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The real one is the top one. The decal is typographically correct, not some half assed photoshop job. Now I have to go and check mine, becuase I've always had doubts about the odd "sweet spot" it has about half an inch up from the tip on the opposite side to the decal. Unless the target lies against that spot, it won't always detect it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thank Goodness for that, I was right, more luck than judgement, but the thumb hole and the writing just looked better, that was a close one, Aye. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Mine's a real one, just checked. It also has the serial number printed on the sticker on the battery cover. Not sure if the fake ones have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Notice that the E's and T's on the top one don't look like your decal but the A on the top looks right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I bought one of those fake pin pointers direct from China a while back, just to see. Well I`m impressed with it but have never used another so can`t compare. No good for sub grammers unless your right on it, but great for that deeper larger stuff as your hole gets near it.
