Viper Trident

[Mister bee]

Has anyone used a Viper Trident or any Viper & if so, what do you think of them?

I have and know of others who have used them also. They are plain and simple overpriced Chinese junk detectors. The first one I saw in use the guy was taking it out for the first tima nad when the label got wet it floated off the detector. This is a buyer beware detector. Anyone showing a "new" detector at a reatial price point of 999.00 and discounts it down to 399 or 299 and is still makinf a profit is pretty close to lying about the actual retail price. Wholesale price : 68.00 !!!!
You would be much much better off going with a real detector from a brand name.

I asked the same question on another website and the response was overwhelming trash and How could the Largest metal detector sales company in the world sell it as a Professional model.?
The company that sell them is the only source for info,and so would also assume parts,and service.
I have thought about buying underwater case for a cheap BH,and using earbuds(they are waterproof,I checked dropped a pair into sink and listened to a Willie Nelson Tape)

The parts are most likely not available since the unit is from China. Service? That company is no service place. Three people have told me they wanted to send the unit in for service. One was threemonths old and they were told NO. The other two were allowed to send theirs in. The units they got back were different than the ones they sent in. They were replaced. Since these things are bought for around 68.00 they just throw them away if theres a complaint early on and still make a killing on the markup. Some wonder why we complain about them. I guess some are naive .
