Garrett Users Forum

New to this hobby. Have been researching pinpointers and it seems that the Garrett Pro AT is one of the best. Have a line on a used one from a private party that he says is about 1 1/2 yrs. old. Hasn't given me a price yet. Anyway, I discovered that there are fake aftermarket ones and have read several articles on this subject but have never seen how to tell the difference between the real one and the fake one. They show pictures but never tell how to differentiate between them. I'm talking about the "Garrett Pro Pointer AT" the orange one not the black one. This fellow is trying to sell it in a package with a Minelab E-trac metal detector but said he would split them up if he hasn't gotten an offer on the package soon.

So Any help on how to tell the difference between the real one and the fake one?

Thanks for any help, shep70 - Garrett ACE-300

This is the only video I've found. The AT just came out.

Thanks, but it's not the one I'm looking at.

Well, a reputable dealer (one of our sponsors) would prevent a mistake and also offer a great price!

Imagine with serial # ….Garrett could help you out....certainly worth a toll free call...

Here's the difference.

These are comparisons between TRUE Garrett models. I think hr was concerned about fake models.
