Know the difference: Original vs Fake Garrett Handheld Metal Detectors

The Garrett Handheld Metal Detector popularly known as Garrett Super Scanner is the most recognized hand-held metal detector in the world. Originally designed for use at the 1984 Olympic Games, and continually updated to meet evolving metal detection needs, it has been a flagship security equipment.

Being the most recognized hand-held metal detector, it has been easily targeted by fraudsters who have been making counterfeits of it and circulating it in the market. The fake metal detectors are cheaper and may not accurately pinpoint any threats.

Counterfeit Garrett metal detectors could look similar to the original, however, there are several key differences. Below are some of the key differences to note when getting an Original Garrett metal detector
