[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 532931, member: 12692"] Greenriver, the GM is very light, & the coils do look & feel flimsy. The whole unit is built light. I haven't heard of or seen any fakes as yet (but its bound to happen). While you are looking the unit over, that is the time to go to the Minelab webpage & go to the S/N check link, & plug the number in there & then. You probably wont know if its stolen, but it will tell you if its a legit number. Same goes for all the Minelab machines. If the seller wants to stop you doing the check, then best to keep your money in your pocket & walk out. DED [/QUOTE]
