I agree. I purchase one at the end of last year and tried it in the fall when balls try to hide under leaves. It couldn't find a ball and gave me lots of false positives with the sun reflective off the leaves. I waited till this spring to see if it did any better in just grass without leaves... Negative. It still can't find a ball, but vibrates with anything shiny in front of it. Now it's too late for me to return it... Definitely a DO NOT BUY.
