[QUOTE="echidnadigger, post: 13774, member: 719"] Not to sure about the life of the batteries, someone on here will be able to help with that question. So long as it was made for the Australian market and sold in Australia it should be a good machine. I'm not sure about the 5000 but I heard there was some cheap Chinese knock offs of the minelabs getting around a few years back. be careful. A phone call to minelab with the serial number might be worth the peace of mind. Minelab warranties don't transfer on 2nd hand machines but that shouldn't be to much of a concern as their back up service is 2nd to none. Good luck and don't forget to post your first nugget on here. P.s photobucket is the best place I have found for keeping your images, then post them via a link to the site.. I might post a topic up on this site on how to do this, for everyone to learn. I'm not sure if this has been done as I am new to this site. [/QUOTE]
