I had a garret for ages and liked it. Then I modified it so it was wireless to save me taking my headphones off, so now only use it if I'm using wireless headphones on my T2.  I then bought the Nokta probe from Crawfords. Its okish when the battery is fresh but it drains very quickly and loses range very quickly.  A few weeks ago I bought the PI Xpointer from detectorbits for £65. Its really good, not quite as good as a garret but much cheaper.  On the land I detect on the Xpointer falses a lot even at the lowest setting so finding small stuff is a problem

A couple sellers on ebay are bulk buying cheap Chinese Garrett knockoffs from Aliexpress, and then selling them on as originals.
Beware !

Put up the links or Ebay usernames and we can make Ebay and Garrett aware of the issue. I've also seen Chinese detectors that are obviously copied on the Garrett Ace model.
