This photograph caught my eye the other day.

A Garrett metal detector, put together like Dr. Frankenstein's monster, like Bizarro, with most of the parts but just put together crazily. The control box upside down, the coil cord running directly from the coil to the control box, instead of being wrapped around the rod.

Turns out this is a counterfeit Garrett, made in China. And some of these fakes have found their way into the United States.

Here's the story.

Just look at that photo. What has happened to the quality of Chinese counterfeit goods these days?

It's like they're not even trying any more. 8/ lol

That is horrendous. Looks like it was built by a blind, one-armed monkey.
