cheers nucopia....
I feel this next detector will be the one that I stick with for quite a few years...
so id like to be aware of the pitfalls before I hand over 'hard-cash'...
from the searching ive done around so far ive seen (even through Minelab notices) that there are a bunch of fakes out there....
.....as well as quite a number of stolen 4500's.....
TOTALLY don't need any headaches.
If I were to buy brand new - I see Minelab have re-released the 4500 - would it be best to buy from Minelab and/or its dealerships itself?
I see occasionally a link here n there for some Gold Equipment businesss that also carry them too...
Some of these links are broken so I get 'FILE 404 - Page not found' thing but ill keep searching.....
Jus out of curiousity - IF I were to buy 2nd hand with some warranty & a Serial Number,
is checking THAT serial number as simple as emailing MINELAB and awaiting their response?
But I totally agree - it'd be a great investment and one that would do me for years into the future,
So its very critical I do it right.
