China ACE-250 (MD-3010 II )

Maybe this one sounds better .

I see that silver is spelled wrong, but I like the earphone plug location

And the display suggests it might have a volume control

I'm all about buying Americam, but sometimes these China products just blow me away with how cheap they can be. I have a tablet computer from China that is simply awesome.

For the life of me I can't find a price on this Garrett knockoff.


Edit: Wow...they even have knockoff Bounty Hunters.

from what I've found,they do have a volume control.
FOB Price: US $ 130 - 150

P/P

I have a 3010II

The P/P button,when pressed lites up the "eye" but no sound is heard when metal is passed in front of the search coil, Nor is any tone heard.

Its brand new out of the box.

Any Ideas?

A dollar comes in before a fifty cent piece?

I don't think, you are going to find much help here about that detector. If I were you, I would take it across the street where they make those Garrett copies and see what they say..

Hey, I have your friend's stolen credit card, but for some reason the P.I.N. doesn't work, any suggestions?

<*)))>{

this is a back up i have i think made by the same

place it works good ,had it for a while have not used it a lot ,its a gc-1020/3020 ,it takes 2 9volts called a gold digger

Sure, go ahead and keep feeding Chinese industry. We are a debtor nation to them so what the hey, buy this POS.

In the pic showing board, at the bottom, the two wires on the left and the last wire to the far right look to have bad solder connections. At least that's how it looks to me.

You get what you pay for.

Other than the yellow color, you would have to be nearly blind to mistake that for an Ace 250 (personally I wouldn't want either)!

why is it good that our manufacturing industries can produce in asian countries and we buy with no qualms, yet we are frowned upon & ridiculed for buying from China directly - confuses the !!!! out of me
