[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 670269, member: 4012"] Subsequent to the introduction of the GPX series in 2006, rapid expansion of Minelab's production capability became necessary to meet a dramatic surge in demand from prospectors in African/Middle Eastern goldfields. Since 2010, much of Minelab's consumer detector production has been undertaken by Plexus Inc., in Malaysia. Early 4500's were Australian-manufactured, with later production Malaysian-sourced. Later models had circuitry incorporating some minor improvements introduced with the GPX-5000, which came out a couple of years after the launch of the 4500. I think diehards believe the Aussie-made 4500's are better, but this may just be local loyalty. 🇦🇺 [/QUOTE]
