GPZ 8000

Ultimate Depth. Ultimate Control.

The GPZ 8000™ is Minelab’s newest flagship gold detector, engineered for advanced performance in challenging ground. Z-Set concentric toroidal coils offer three coil options to match detection style, target size, and ground conditions. Ground optimized detection delivers maximum depth on small to large gold, with Echo Sonic Pro™ audio providing rich layered sound and enhanced stereo separation for clear target definition. A new level of depth, control, and adaptability for serious prospectors.

Highlights

Maximum Depth Penetration

Optimal gold depth through ground-optimized detection, enabling maximum depth on small to large gold by matching the right mode to the right ground.

PRO-SWING 125 Harness

Distribute detector weight during long hunts while keeping movement unrestricted. Weight is transferred through the hips to reduce fatigue, supported by the GA10 guide arm to improve swing control and reduce strain.

Wireless Audio Freedom

Experience real-time wireless audio with the WM 14 wireless audio module, maintaining low-latency sound and clear signal detail without cables. Move freely with extended range and maintain consistent target audio throughout the field.

Lighter Swing

Weighs only 2.78 kg (6.1 lbs) for comfortable control and a lighter swing during long sessions.

GeoZVT™ Technology

Proven ZVT™ depth with advanced signal control for high performance in mineralized, conductive, and EMI-heavy ground. Uncover gold in difficult ground conditions, turning challenging terrain into productive ground.

Ground Type Selection

Optimized performance engineered for every ground condition, with precise analysis and adaptation to changing terrain. Four ground types use Echo Sonic Pro™ audio to identify ground conditions through nuanced stereo feedback, while performance is tailored to locate shallow crumbs to deep nuggets in mineralized and conductive soils.

Z-Set Concentric Toroidal Coils

The Z-Set Concentric toroidal coil range includes the Z18 18", Z17 17", and Z13 13" coils, each engineered for specific ground conditions and reduced ground noise in mineralized soils. Z18 focuses on maximum depth and stability in highly mineralized ground, allowing deeper penetration to locate medium to large gold while efficiently covering wide open areas with reduced ground noise. Z17 is designed for high EMI and conductive soils, with stable operation and strong target response on small to medium gold. Z13 suits vegetation-heavy terrain and supports accurate detection of small to medium gold, with balanced handling and reduced fatigue over long sessions.

Single Coil Pack

The Single Coil Pack includes the Z18 Concentric Toroidal coil to expand ground coverage and reach deeper soil layers.

Three Coil Pack

The Three Coil Pack includes the complete Z-Set Concentric Toroidal coil range: Z13, Z17 and Z18. Together, the Z-Set Concentric Toroidal coil range transforms one detector into a multi-configuration gold recovery platform.

Echo Sonic Pro™ Audio

Experience rich layered audio across every tone with enhanced stereo separation that sends distinct signal components to each ear. Designed for use with true stereo high-fidelity headphones with a flat frequency response. This level of audio clarity reveals subtle target differences and allows accurate identification of promising signals without compromising depth.

Full-Color LCD Display

Combines vivid visuals with a clean and modern menu system, making it easy to access settings, view the display, and stay oriented in the field. The interface stays clear and readable when conditions demand it.

More Features

Audiophile Wired Headphones

High-fidelity headphones produce an immersive and high resolution audio experience. Premium materials ensure lasting comfort during long detecting sessions.

Hybrid Shaft System

The Hybrid Shaft System combines carbon fiber and fiberglass to create a strong and lightweight setup that reduces vibration and reverberation during knocks and bumps. A tear-drop shaft profile maintains consistent alignment and prevents unwanted rotation, and the fiberglass lower shaft minimizes detection noise for clearer audio on subtle signals.
