[QUOTE="Nuggetbuster, post: 283095, member: 4013"] What Bogger is saying is that the number might be legit on the Minelab system, but what if it's just been copied from another unit and stamped into that home made metal plate? Unless minelab match the serial number up to the regiatered owner / original purchaser, and that may he's the info youre given by the seller, a legitimate serial number doesn't mean anything. If the unit is sent to minelab and they open it up, different story - they can confirn. Looking at the pics, I wouldn't worry about it being genuine or not...I'd only be concerned about any shady deals that the unit might have been a part of in the past. But I have seen many legit Minelab s with damaged serial stickers [/QUOTE]
