[PennyFinder]

Doesn't this look remarkably like the Whites XL Pro! It's akin to blaspheme I say! Is nothing sacred!

Looks more like a Garrett grip and arm cuff. Then a Whites Box and meter.

it's obviouse where whites and garrett are having their parts manufactured.....
i havn't forgoten the big news cast where our govornment was going to crack down on china's copy cating.... the chineese had sworn they wern't doing any such thing the agent at the press conference held up a box of kelloggs corn flakes.... then he held up an identical box of kellooqq corn flake..... the crowd busted up laughing....
now china owns a big chunk of american assets.... i think we'll be seeing more of this.....

 

[khouse]

Whites and Garretts make there own parts like the coils, rod and boxes for sure. But that doesn't stop them from being copied.

Hmmm, I wonder how long before Wal Mart starts selling these? Anyone ever tried a Gold Century metal detector?

It's got a meter, knobs, and the box located like a Whites. It looks like it is all plastic. I'll stay with Whites and their service. Rob

A copy of the real thing that's all. I would rather have the real thing. I would not buy a new car for 30 to 40 grand that's made to look like a older classic or muscle car. Like the Mustangs and so on. That's just my opinion.

There is also a underwater detector and one that looks like a "prizm".
I heard they couldn't even detect a hubcap taped to it .

We all know who makes the best Whites made in the USA

We all knew this stuff was in the works and this is some of what has the West in the pickle it's in. As far as squeak and beeps...they aren't going to get my dollar. Whites works hard for it.

In a post Dave Johnson from First Texas made awhile back he said they had got 1 and took it apart. It had a copy of the whites circuit board in it.

I read a post (True Story) ,where a fellow actually tried the Chinese XL Pro, and everyone on the forum was waiting to see what his results were!!

After about a week he finally posted, saying it was a HUGE mistake!! Everyone sort of felt sorry for him..........

If you really think about it, who ON EARTH would ever SERVICE such a piece of crap, if the *paper circuit board*
ever blew???? LOL!!

I bought a chinese WILDFIRE Scooter a while back..DONT EVER BUY A WILDFIRE SCOOTER!!
FIRST THE MIRRORS WERE ALL SCREWED UP,THEN IT QUIT RUNNING..THEN WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT SERVICED,NO ONE KNEW HOW TO WORK ON IT,AND PARTS WERE ***NON EXISTENT!!!***

Any product larger than a kitchen blender,SHOULD NOT BE BOUGHT FROM CHINA! Lol!

Anybody in the Western world (civilised) who buys anything made in China just to save a buck gets what they deserve and should be charged with Treason.because you are deliberately harming your own country

 

[zipper]

this is not right wights need to do something

 

[Dirt Poor]

Plastic crap.

 

[BARGuy]

Fishers Ghost pretty well nailed it. Does anybody else remember the little guy with the big ears that ran for president awhile back...Ross Perot.

He called it "That great sucking sound" of jobs & $$$ going offshore.

BUY AMERICAN...IT MATTERS!
