Chase Deep Gold.
The Minelab GPZ 8000™ is the latest, most serious model for mining operations; it prioritizes depth performance while remaining easy to use in "difficult" ground conditions (which typically cause constant false signals in other detectors). The standard package comes with an 18” Z-Set coil—designed to chase deep targets—and offers three coil options to suit your sweeping style, target size, and ground conditions. Detection is optimized for challenging soil, while Echo Sonic Pro™ delivers clear, layered stereo audio, giving you greater confidence in distinguishing target signals from ground noise. Ideal for those wanting to revisit old sites and recover gold that was previously missed.
Feature
Maximum gold depth: detection adapts to soil conditions. Choose the right mode, the gold signal is clearer from small to large.
Maximum Depth Penetration
The PRO-SWING 125 harness distributes weight to the hips, allowing for free movement, while the GA10 guide arm stabilizes your swing, reducing strain on your arm and shoulder.
PRO-SWING 125 Harness
Lag-free WM 14 wireless audio ensures clear target details; enjoy wireless freedom, extended range, and stable sound in the field.
Wireless freedom with real-time audio response
Weighing 2.78 kg, it offers a lighter, more comfortable swing for long sessions, reducing arm and shoulder fatigue so you can stay focused.
Lighter Swing
GeoZVT™ Technology
Proven ZVT™ depth, now enhanced with smarter signal control to maintain high performance in challenging ground conditions—ranging from highly mineralized or conductive/wet soil to locations with high signal interference (EMI, such as near power lines or machinery). The result is clearer gold signal detection in conditions that typically cause other detectors to become "noisy," turning difficult sites into productive gold-hunting grounds.
Ground Type Selection
Detection performance tuned for diverse ground conditions; the machine analyzes and adjusts as the terrain changes. Four ground type settings utilize Echo Sonic Pro™ audio to help you identify ground characteristics through subtle stereo feedback (clearly distinguishing "ground noise" from target signals). Consequently, performance settings can be optimized to target anything from shallow gold flakes to deep nuggets, even in highly mineralized or conductive soils that typically make detection difficult. Ideal for those who... frequently move between locations. spot and requires the machine to be quickly "adjusted" according to field conditions.
Z-Set Concentric Toroidal Coils
Z-Set coil options come in 3 sizes: Z18 18”, Z17 17”, and Z13 13”—each designed for different ground conditions and to help reduce "ground noise" in highly mineralized soil. The Z18 is built for chasing depth and stability in wide-open areas. The Z17 is suitable for environments with signal interference (EMI) or conductive soil, offering strong response to small-to-medium gold. The Z13 is great for bushy terrain, offering better maneuverability and comfort for long sessions.
Single Coil Pack (1-Coil Package)
The Single-Coil Package includes the Z18 Concentric Toroidal coil, designed to cover wider areas and reach deeper soil layers during gold prospecting.
Other Features
Audiophile-Quality Wired Headphones
These hi-fi headphones deliver clearer, more detailed audio, allowing you to distinctly pick up subtle signal changes. The experience is immersive and pleasant, giving you greater confidence when interpreting target signals. Crafted from premium materials for long-lasting comfort, they are ideal for hours of detecting without causing ear fatigue.
Hybrid Shaft System
Hybrid shaft system combining carbon fiber and fiberglass creates a frame that is strong yet lightweight, while helping to dampen vibrations and shock from impacts or knocks. The tear-drop shaft design maintains alignment and prevents twisting, ensuring consistent coil orientation during your sweep. The fiberglass lower shaft also helps reduce detection noise, resulting in cleaner audio and making it easier to pick up subtle signals.
All Day Battery Life
Comes with two rechargeable Li-ion batteries that provide stable power for a full day of detection; work longer without worrying about running out of power.
Built-In Flashlight
Continue detecting in the dark thanks to the unit's integrated flashlight. The light provides clear visibility of the ground surface in low-light conditions, ensuring your search proceeds smoothly without the need to stop or juggle a separate light source.
