I was told of the possibility of Chinese knock offs on the market. I see a white paper sticker inside my GBPro battery compartment with what appears to be a serial number Ive not heard of ripoffs for Fisher before and will be watching this space, have heard of them, for Whites, I think But test the ID of a $2 coin and better still if you can wave a subgram nugget in front of it, a chinese knockoff presumably won't see it
