Hi All, Looks like the rumors of a cheap 4500 knock-offs are true. If you press left Ctrl and scroll at the same time you'll enlarge the pic. As you can see its hard to tell the diff from the real thing. The dials are grey and the minelab logo is a slightly different size and font. Beware!! they could already be in Australia. Prices of these "Minglabs" start from $500 US. http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/106870510/Minelab_GPX_4500_Gold_Detector.html |

Goldnug, The details are false because they are advertising a GPX-4500 and the photo is a GPX-4000. Peter |

Hi nightjar, Thats very observant of you. I thought I found a pic of a genuine Minglab 4500. I sit corrected. There's got to be a pic of one somewhere on alibaba.com. Regards |
