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.

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
