Hi All,

I have been advised by a friend in the know about detectors that there is a few FAKE 4500 floating about at the moment.
He tells me that they are almost impossible to tell apart except that they dont perform!!!
If you are going to part with ya hard earned bucks on a secound hand 4500 do some serious home work.
Have a good weekend all,
Take care out there
Cheers
Steve
