[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 627498, member: 4485"] Have you contacted Minelab? I asked a dealer about borrowing or buying one a few years ago - they didn't even have one of their own & didn't seem to know anything much about them. Best way to check is get the purchase details (dealer, date, purchaser) & serial number then ask Minelab to verify all of the details. Be aware some counterfeit machines have a "correct" serial number i.e. a correct number has been copied from a legit detector but Minelab will know if the purchase details match or not. I was looking at a GPX4500 years ago & the serial number was "correct" but the verbally supplied purchase details (no invoice) didn't match Minelab's records - I've checked a lot of used machines over the years with Minelab & they have never asked me for the hologram info?
