Good morning my friends, I have a question: - How can I tell a gpx 4500 metal detector that it is the original version and is not fake
How do you know that a genuine metal detector

That ^^^
If you are buying used, you can call minelab and inquire about the serial number. If you think its fake, you probably shouldnt take the chance.

You must lead a sheltered life!
Terry nailed it. Check out the serial. If there is none, run away fast. Yes, there are fake detectors and pinpointers out there.

All detectors are genuine. Some of them are genuine Chinese.
