I hope Minelab are listening here.

They need to engage someone to trawl their customers for their views, likes, dislikes and issues with products.

Case in point, I purchased a new Landrover Discovery in 2015 and receive constant surveys on my views on the car. General ones about the product and specific ones on servicing. The two times it has gone in for scheduled servicing I get an emailed survey asking specific questions on the experience and how it can be improved. Not that it can get much better when a suit meets you at the door and asks "sir" what his needs are today, escorts you to his office to sign the service sheet then onto the leather appointed waiting room complete with free refreshments and a glass wall to view the service area so you can watch them service your car.

Minelab need to take a leaf out of Landrovers book and implement something similar.

Comparing a Landrover to a Minelab?

The thing has all kind of weird electronic wizardry trying to overcome an obstacle in its path.

I would much prefer you'd compare a Toyota to a Minelab.

On a Toyota you lock the diffs, shift the big V8 diesel in gear and point it at that rock your going to climb.

On a Minelab you set the ground balance, fiddle with the sens and swing it away at the meanest ground you can think off.

Landrovers are for Sunday afternoon tea whilst James loads your most favourite pheasant tickler!

Toyotas are for Monday morning bacon and egg while watching the weather radar!

For me, I'm very happy with my Minelab product.  I have owned my 5000 for over 5 years with no issues and I have even taken some good falls with it.  I hunt almost every weekend and still using the stock battery for a full day of detecting.  From my experience, Minelab has built me a solid product that finds me gold, nails, bullets, wire oh wait, its a metal detector.  hahaha

If I had one complaint to mention, I wish the aftermarket coils were more durable!  I have spent a lot of money on those round plastic things.

Not comparing so much the Landrover, rather the level of service.

If you pay top dollar for a product, which you do with a GPZ, you expect exceptional service.

ps, I thought Toyota was a "bit on the nose" in the US of A currently :-)
