These have got to be excellent detectors and would excel for nuggets and meteorites. My question is about the suggested price of the "Free Accessories." Isn't this a little high?

They are super detectors for sure, much like the previous GPX 4500, they are sure not to disappoint and are well worth the cost...

The accessory value is the MSRP totaled up and honestly, we have to compete with other retailers in the market giving away a .25 cent replica coin and putting a $99 value on it. Your not paying for the accessories anyway, that is what FREE means. If the value we put on the items was lower it would not really matter as you are getting them for nothing and paying for the metal detector that the manufacturer sets the price on so we are adding accessories to the package on our dime. Just saying...

Re: Introduction: All New Minelab GPX 4800 & GPX 5000 Metal Detectors

Am I correct in guessing that any "discrimination" on this 4800 or 5000 detectors, are like the old "discrimination" attempts? Ie.: good for only the first several inches, and by no means meant to be used as a coin or relic machine? That is to say, just prospecting, and perhaps the beach at the most, and simply much too squirrely sensitive, and discrimination too poor, to attempt to use in for regular coin/relic sites, right?

For the most part, yes you are correct in that assumption. The GPX by design will only discriminate iron and that is highly dependent on the iron target itself being strong enough for the GPX to determine if the target is ferrous in the first place based on the buried depth of the target. One can not compare the GPX to a VLF detector like the Etrac as an example when it comes to discrimination abilities, especially when you consider the rejection of non-ferrous trash targets. But if you were looking for a super deep detector and are willing to forgo full range discrimination then you have a big advantage in some sites. With the newer “Timings” such as the coin/relic timing I think you will see more treasure hunters giving these two new detectors some serious consideration.

The GPX 4800 also seems to be a winning detector for Relic hunters having greater ability to go deeper to locate relics and artifacts. Field tests in areas that were previously well searched by other detector models have recovered not just a few "overlooked" targets, but large amounts of targets NOT found by other well known metal detectors.

For more info on the new detectors please visit Kellyco's Website or give us a call.

Good for you, Sandman, in raising this point. It has always annoyed me as I find it insulting on the part of dealers to think us so naive. And most of them do it. That collection of stuff is worth about 200 dollars and I'd not pay that much. I wish they'd just give us the price and be done with it.

I concur oldtown / sandman. Nothing is free. The customer pays one way or the other, usually by loaded prices which the ML range seems to thrive on. Personally I think the Whites TDI is a much better option these days and they usually throw in a pinpointer or something useful. Yes, I have had 3 MLs, but no more.

Cat, I don't blame the manufacturer, it's the dealers who do this thing. They're worse than car salesmen.

Here's what I'd like to see:

Model XX costs $1000.00
Model XZ costs $900.00
Etc, etc.

Forget the subterfuge of giving away crap of supposedly great value. We all know what the stuff costs.
We also know that crap does cost something and the dealer makes it back on the initial detector sale. There is that markup thing. So lose the phony giveaway of useless junk and knock another 3% off the detector to begin with. (this covers the "free" junk cost to dealer)

This way the buyer gets an honest price and the dealer does not have to bother filling his work space with boxes of give away promotional garbage. It's a win/win for everyone.

Dealer sells his product and we get to buy something without feeling like we're being treated like morons.

It's a little thing but if one dealer treated his customers this way and truly gave that 3% instead of handing out crap, I'd have to think he'd get heavy traffic. I actually drive all the way to Miami from Key West just to avoid the online dealers who practice this kind of thing.

It costs me more but there is a principle at stake here.
