[QUOTE="Nuggetbuster, post: 283174, member: 4013"] The photos are clear enough - there is no doubt that it's a genuine Minelab GPX 5000 (unless the insides have been replaced with something else). It's not a fake. That is not the potential issue with a machine like this (ie one without a proper serial number sticker on it). The potential issue is that it is [b]possible[/b] (but not certain at all) that, at some point in the past, the serial number sticker has been intentionally removed to make it hard to identify, and a piece of metal stuck on it with a duplicate serial number from another machine. If you buy a machine like this, you'll have difficulty selling it if you ever need to. [/QUOTE]
