Minelab GPX 4500 Is Back?

[PeterInSa]

Hi Roy, since the package includes the MK11 12x8, I would have waited to see how that went,

In Phase Tech's review of the MK1 Sadie and 12x8 he suggests the 12x8 is more sensitive to small gold etc. So the MK11 versions should have similar results.

But You will have both, so am looking forward to your test results.

You might be thinking of the "Sniper" package that I posted from Reeds Prospecting which includes the 12x8 EVO and other items.

It's an extra $500.

Roy,

If you don't mind can you tell us whether the Serial Number is a 10 digit one or 7 digit one and whether there is a sticker on the control box bottom that references any dates?

Thanks.

Hi Tony

The serial number on my 4500 in neither  7 or 10 digits mine has 11 digitsand what I have been told they are new stock not old stock but take that how you want.

Thanks for that.....they are all good. You can ignore any "talk" about hi/lo gain 4500's as there's bugger all difference anyway. I remember using a "Low" gain 4500 in quiet ground and I still had to turn the gain down way below maximum.

Best of luck with the nuggets !!

 

PS....Sounds like they should have that new car smell 😐

Minelab probably have spray cans of "New car smell" that also kills weevils. 🤣

The back room they found some in must have been huge, I received this email today from Minelab, they're back at all certified dealers "for a limited time" and then due to popular demand they will stay on I'm sure 🙂  I think someones feeling a bit of competitive pressure.   The good news for existing 4500 owners is it means they will be extending out the service time that they will repair them for.
