content: How trustworthy is a product being sold by a company that uses a gmail-address, only Whatsapp as a phone number, and has no legal information on their website at all (breaking all kinds of laws)?I have seen those many years ago (as my father and brother both have been metal detecting in our area, certified, looking to improve the detection reliability). While remote-detecting works kinda-ish - certainly it does not with these devices.Unfortunately those are extremely expensive, even when in used condition. Otherwise I would have disassembled one many years ago. Probably only to find some non-connected WiFi-antennas and a little ATMEL for the Blinkenlights.

content: someone did a teardown of a long range metal detectorfrom the video-useful componentspair of 433mhz four-button remote control units valued at 4 or 5 $USD1 short 10cm range handheld metal detector pcb and loop stick (the fat antenna) valued at 10 to 15 $USD2 aluminum enclosures one square other tumbler -round.4 or 6 wifi antennas5 pushbutton switches1 rocker switch1 aluminum instrument case it came in (the most valuable item on the list)2 rechargeable battery packs1 plug pack power supply- charger1 CD use as beer coaster.how it works IMOthe square enclosure is the 433mhz transmitter that has 5 buttons, one is the power-on button.the other 4 buttons remote control the 4 LED's on the round 433mhz receiver enclosurethat also has a10cm short rangehandheld metal detector pcb and wire loop in the fat antenna.both units have their own rechargeable battery packs.receiver enclosure has a Dowsing rod rotating type handle that lets the user rotate the receiver enclosure.with Dowsing, this amazing detector can possibly detect anything the user can imagine.

content: @jonovid want to buy this local one for a play it also helps find Noah's Arc 'allegedly'. I am heading that way later in the week if the guy won't ship it for you to play withI like that some of these seem to come with fancy Water Divining type of hand grips for increased power.https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ballarat-region/other-electronics-computers/tks-molecular-frequency-metal-detector-/1322621701Also I really like that they decided to embed the meter into the left hand box as a real quality enhancement.

content: I'd say that is an OK price for the boxes alone.Is it just me, or does the welding on the circular "antenna" look really shoddy?And btw. - do you really expect to find another Arc? That would really crash a religion or twoSome Google-fu brought up this 2016 thread:https://www.treasurenet.com/threads/in-search-of-tks2000.504187/Same pictures, same area. Listed as "TKS 2000". So not sure if this is a fraud (which is unlikely, if it is pick up only) or that guy just didn't find a buyer for 5k.Unfortunately, I could not find any further information. "TKS" might be an error, however there is a (legit) company making/selling detectors as "KTS".
