[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 169418, member: 4485"] I know a bloke who got hold of a GPX5000 one & pulled it apart. It did indeed have 6.7khz VLF workings. He did say it worked but didn't air test that well. Cheaper to buy a GC1038. Another bloke that repairs & modifies older Minelabs has posted on other forums what he has found too. There was one run of GPX4500 lookalikes he came across that did have PI electronics but just plain & simple didn't work - possibly why they went back to the VLF guts? Without the correct technology like SETA they wouldn't even ground balance & were worthless boat anchors. If they had gotten the necessary information when they hacked Minelab to include MPS, DVT & SETA like they advertise then I think somewhere in the international detecting world someone would be spruiking their merits. Instead all I have read is people disappointed to find that they have purchased a dud or even taking them in to get them checked as they don't work properly only to find they have been conned into a fake & done their dough.
