Except for potential cable issues, I can see how that might improve the ergonomics.......although if I were going for improved ergonomics, I'd go all the way and belt-mount the control unit.

No one mentioned that is not a Real Garrett Detector!

It's a Wanta Be in a weird Case.

Yep, this is a Chinese knockoff.  From a factory that churns out fake Garretts, White's, and Minelab detectors.

As for the better ergonomics, maybe weight-balancing-wise, but not visibility-wise - All the controls are upside-down, and you can't see the meter through your arm!

I missed that, probably because I don't use a meter.   And when I mount my lobo super traq on my belt I usually wind up with most of the controls being out of sight since that also puts them where I'm less likely to accidentally change them.

Clearly made for use in the southern hemisphere. Australians will love it.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
