    Minelab GPX5000 vs GPX4500

    Minelab GPX5000 vs GPX4500

    Thanks mate, would the 12" evo be suitable for bigger deep nuggets as well? I like the idea of it being 1m waterproof for creek bed exploration.

    Minelab GPX5000 vs GPX4500

    Thanks guys, what do you suppose would be a fair price for them? I can see some large variances between here, market place & ebay. Any particular serial numbers to look out for, or earlier/later models in particular with each machine? Are the made in Aus ones worth chasing or not really? Thanks
