Hello All,

I was sent this email below earlier today from a friend. I took one look at it and knew the source. I'm not even going to comment on it since it's so freaking stupid. All I can say is I hope the person that wrote it can find nuggets better than he can write messages.

The writing style looks familiar. O.W.T. ???

Could be O.W. T. aka D. S Grubstake

Hi Rob I read that earlier today on the other forum. All I can say is that guy is a piece of work. Edit.. I guess Minelab is behind these fakes

also since it is on there website about the FAKE 4500's and Commander Coils.

[adam]

Hmmmm...So lets see....Run on sentences, general drunkin carrying on ,and mispelled words a plenty??? Could it be the one and only Oakwoodtrucker????

Sure, Its all part of the master plan. like computers are all going to crash in 2000 and the world is coming to an end 2012 right or it could just be some Chinese that are really good at fakes. Why does the word Rolex come to mind? Hmmm I'll let you decide, AzNuggetBob

[1dredger]

Wow this is good stuff. I have not followed the fake scam very closly but the question I have is what if I want to sell my used coiltec coils. Is there a way they could check with you Rob to see if they are real? Or do I just own boat anchors if I dont chose to use them?

[ARGONAUTE]

The Dr Evil master plan has just fallen into the hands of Mr Powerless

LOL

[claim jumper]

Oak wood Trucker is getting a bit tipsy!!!!

[El Dorado]

Leave it to an idiot to post libelous remarks like that....

[claim jumper]

They also kicked off "Jenna" from the forum for standing up to Gary for Oak Woods statement. I guess Gary is a follower of Oak Wood. Chip would be rolling in his grave to see such stupid remarks from Oak Wood and Gary (ghunting)

[homefire]

So as I read it, all dealers are supposed to purchase a Bogus unit to show a prospective customer?

[grubstake]

When that Black Panther was talking about Cracker heads on the news the other night, he was talking about OAKWOOD. Grubstake

Hello All,

To be honest I have no clue what the guy is talking about. I think there are "knock-off" or fake products of just about everything you can purchase. I seen fake jewelry, fake diamonds, fake watches, fake purses and knock-off replicas of about every major products for sale that is popular.

When a company makes a very success product, someone is always trying to copy it. Minelab metal detectors are no different.

The real problem behind the scenes is the "Arizona Dealers" pretty much make the majority of the top dealers, or major Minelab partners. Some people and dealers can't stand this .... Don't knock the AZ Minelab dealers that have put their Heart and Soul into making a successful business.

Enough said,

Excellent point Rob. When you reach the top, when you are number one, you automatically become a target. Anyone who has ever been at the top of their profession or field experiences this. Let the dogs bark, that's what they do..

OK, obviously a conspiracy theorist.

First, go to Alibaba.com

Search for GPX4500 and COILTEK. These people on that site are your counterfeiters. Just inquire as to the prices and you will be able to tell. The prices are a fraction of real Minelabs.

Now go to:

http://coiltekmanufacturing.com.au/counterfeitcoil.html

This will tell you how to identify a bogus Coiltek coil; with pictures. Coiltek has already taken legal steps to shut this operation down. So if you believe the original poster, apparently Coiltek is suing themselves, because they have fabricated this counterfeit scare. So far it appears they are only counterfeiting the Gold Stalker 12 X 19 and all of these coils have the same serial number 2282.

Just be cautious of what you are buying.

DOC, how does the conspiracy theorists also fit this one in????

Fake NF coil listings

This looks like a relatively new development and I'm not sure what the defining features of a fake NF coil might be. The listings show Chinese manufacturers and one Malaysian company, yet Nugget Finder is an Australian based company.

Am I opening a kettle of worms?

Argonaute I been looking at that same ad for sometime now,If you click on to a coil and scroll down you will see that it says country of origin australia on each coil you click on..this may explaine why we had to wait so long for the advantage coils after ordering them I myself have 3 my longest wait was 5 weeks..nugget finder must have been exporting them to china and beyond so it seems.and I am not only one that had to wait for them they were not available..those are not fakes...

Take a look at the place of origin on this one, Nugget Finder 17 x 11 advantage for Minelab mono eliptical. It says Guangdong China.

It also says they are a manufacturer. AzNuggetBob

You Know all of this would really be funny, if TOM, Aka Oakwoodtrucker, aka Drifter, Aka Dennis sanders, didn't really beleave all his own posts. But its just sad he does. Grubstake

[AZNuggetBob]

This is not funny, its fact. China claims they are cracking down on forgeries, BS! You really cant beat the fakers in court. It cost more in attorneys fees than you can recover.

Read some of the court cases. AzNuggetBob

Sorry Wheelbubble but some of the companies listed are IDENTICAL those listed on the Minelab site listing counterfeits!

Minelab counterfeits

Go figure.....

[DOC]

The conspiracy theorist I was speaking of is the poster that implied we manufacturers are fabricating this story about fake coils and machines being out there, just to make sure you buy from a dealer.

Yes they are manufacturing fake Nugget Finder coils as well and I am sure Chris Gholson, who is the U.S. Distributor is as distraught about it as is Coiltek manufacturing and Minelab.

You have to know that these companies that are listed in the link you have provided are fakes; because I know Chris is having as much problem keeping up with demand as we are.

And what... these people on Alibaba seem to have an unlimited supply? I am pretty sure that Rohan Johnson, the inventor, and Australian manufacturer of Nugget Finder coils doesn't even export to China.

I am not sure if Chris has posted how to identify fakes from authentic Nugget Finder coils.

The Chinese are masters at duplication. I mean right down to the smallest detail. I bought my wife a FAKE COACH purse for like $39, and we went to the COACH store to see how close it matched the real $398 COACH purse. Impossible to tell the difference. Even the clerk said, "No I think that is a real COACH purse." I said it couldn't be, I only paid $39 for it.
