I saw this one too and thought that it might just be original promotion pics and the vendor dose state that its used so i think that the only way to tell is to go and eyball it but the box is what throws me, never seen one like that for a minelab. Lindt i think the problem is the sellers and...

listing has been taken down again LOL, im all up for people to make an honest buck but ripping people off is not cool

and hear it is: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/st-albans/other-electronics-computers/new-like-minelab-gpx5000-long-range-gold-metal-diamond-detector/1042413758 and another report to gumtree sent

for 450 im tempted just to strip it down and see what makes it tick but little more than a vlf and an arduino i doubt there is much more too it but LOL he is now forced to sell the detector at cost price and NOT rip people off

welcome mate and i think that the days of old when white socks and 250lbs was the norm for a bloke swinging a detector are long gone

i think its times like this you may need to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner, if your hunting jewelry and coins it will become invaluable to clean your bounty ;)

im looking into a gpx4500, should i be worried about fakes with that model?

I think quality and supporting an Australian company is always the way to go, im sure all the other brands are good but i would think minelab would be made to work in our unique gold fields. Of all the reviews, threads and posts i am yet to come across somebody talking down minelab......as a...

i did the same reported it as counterfeit. It is rather comical to read the chinglish add but regardless i think the vendor knows they are fake. Its just a shame that this is how some people make their money, by stealing someones money

Welcome Lindt, and i assume you mean this add? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/st-albans/miscellaneous-goods/2014-minelab-gpx-5000-long-range-underground-gold-metal-detector/1042346841 Im thinking about messaging him and telling him its a fake and warning gumtree as well. Asking $4500 for...

ive been looking at heaps of GPX 4500's and non seem to have the label they describe that uses the viewer to identify them. I assume this is a problem for newer detectors? Of the ones that have interested me i have asked the sellers to supply me with the S/N and i will call minelab and ask, i...

i sent them an email aswell and yet to get a reply but also emailed Ismael Jones who has confirmed that $275 plus postage he will mode gp 3500 with the 3 switch upgrade so im think yes it may void any chance of repair but it may be a good idea for the future. id just be gutted after spending...

im not so much into the idea of panning for gold or using that kind of equipment, dont get me wrong im sure they work well but i just prefer the idea of a metal detector to find gold or other items. what i know is this, Im sure that i want a metal detector, im now sure i want a minelab...

pirateandy you say $200 for upgrades? dose this mean that minelab will mod there own detectors? it would be good if they did as it seems people out there do the mods, void any warranty or repair to the detector and i have seen prices range from $275 up to $1275 (detectormods.com.au) for mods to...

thanks heaps, $275 is a grate price but i have come to learn that minelab will not repair a modded detector, if something were to go wrong in time to come it may be an issue getting it repaird. Im am still on the lookout for a gp3500 and have 8 months to find it

It is a shame that filth like that are even born, i can only hope that the shower room offers him the same gratitude in terror and torment that poor kid went through....People like that should have no rights, no option for parole and no place in society. Im not a fan of capital punishment but at...

unfortunately i wont be back until December :( dont stress mate its a good price im sure you will sell it

I wish I was at home and not 4000km away, I live in cranbourne and this would have been a grate opportunity to pick me up a detector :(

Wolfau i think you got a grate deal on that cos the ones i see on flebay seem to be up around the 2500-2800 mark but im keeping an eye on ebay like a hawk ;)

I saw them on ebay as well and i would be keen to know how they work in the gold fields. Remember that today modern land mines are not the big steel disks or drums you one saw in WW2 movies they are almost totally plastic with only a few metal components within them, not one dose it make them...
