Metal detector Minelab GPZ 7000

The Minelab GPX 7000 metal detector represents the biggest advance in the search for natural gold in 30 years. Bruce Candy, chief development officer at Minelab, has even called it a "quantum leap". The increase in sensitivity and range is so significant that many seemingly overlooked gold fields are now being reopened.

New technology for gold detection

ZVT is a breakthrough technology for finding natural gold and is the biggest technological leap recorded in the industry in the last 30 years. The detector has a substantial increase in range and sensitivity, is not subject to electromagnetic interference unlike the VLF detector and can easily handle even the worst basalt sites. Extreme soil mineralisation is commonplace with this instrument.

The detector has both improved sensitivity to the finest gold pieces and, most importantly, a large depth increase to deeply buried nuggets. This has caused a number of sites thought to have been mined to be "reopened" in recent months.

Key Features of the GPZ 7000

Extreme Depth
Up to 40% increase in range over the deepest detectors to date, the GPX 5000 and 4800 series. All thanks to the revolutionary ZVT technology.

GPS & Mapping PC
You can efficiently use GPS to identify locations that you have already passed, as well as to mark find spots. Works with Google Maps.

Accurate ground influence tuning
Most of the gold is hidden in heavily mineralized soils. GPZ 7000 constantly monitors and evaluates these conditions. It handles even the worst soils with admirable ease.

Maximum gold sensitivity
The sensitivity of the GPZ 7000 with Super-D coil is incredible. You will detect the tiniest sub-gram nuggets, literally elusive gold ghosts as well as "retirement" sized nuggets.

Increased immunity to electromagnetic interference
Superior interference immunity delivers a very smooth and silent search. GPZ has 256 working channels, you will be able to concentrate only on finding gold.

Simple menu
You don't need to be an expert, the menu is simple and logically arranged. Anyone can operate the detector.

Waterproof probe
The GPZ 14 is waterproof and submersible to a depth of 1 m (3 ft). You can easily work in riverbeds or in poor weather conditions.

Wireless module
You are not tied down by any headset cable. So you can use the headphone input or an external speaker.
