How do you know that a genuine metal detector

[Hook111111]

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

Buy it from a dealer.

Buy it from a dealer.

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.

Counterfeit might be the proper word.

 

[Jon Stewart]

agree fistfulladirt.

Buy only from authorized dealers or someone that bought from one if its used.

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