[QUOTE="Lindt, post: 70625, member: 1668"] We're probably competing for the same ones as I've narrowed my search to a 4000 as well :) I've looked on every forum and blog but haven't found any references to fakes. The main problem will be stolen units. I may have already come across one of these from the UK. Serial numbers of 4000s appear to be too old to be on the Minelab registry. When I rang with a number I was told that I needed the owner's name. An original receipt in the name of the seller may be the best (only?) way to assure legitimacy. [/QUOTE]
