The Best Gold Detector on the World Market
Get ready for the deepest ground penetration and to find gold that other people have missed. The GPZ 8000 is the most important step forward in gold-finding technology.

You need the best when you're looking for gold. When you want to take your gold hunting to a whole new level, you need the best gold detector.- The Minelab GPZ 8000 Gold Metal Detector is the only one you need!
Benefits
Main Benefit
The GPZ 8000's main benefit is its GeoZVT™ sensing technology, which changes how well it works based on the minerals in the ground. This method keeps the maximum depth while cutting down on false signs from hot rocks and soils that conduct electricity.
- Enhanced depth performance in soil with a high mineral content
- Enhanced stability and clarity of the signal over erratic ground
- Improved sensitivity in a variety of gold sizes
- Advanced concentric toroidal Z-Set coil design for enhanced ground coverage
Other Benefits:
- Exceptional depth capability in mineralized ground
- Five specialized deep-focused search modes
- Premium wireless and wired audio options included
- Professional harness system reduces fatigue
- Waterproof design suitable for various environments (Detector, coil, and WM 14 waterproof to 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes)
How Does it Compare to Other Gold Detectors on the Market?
Constructed with deep gold recovery in mind, the GPZ 8000 is the flagship model in Minelab's detector series. When it comes to challenging ground conditions, every element is designed to maximize depth performance, unlike general-purpose detectors.
With features not found in lower-end versions, the GPZ 8000 is ideal for prospectors operating in heavily mineralized regions or searching for deeper gold than can be reached with traditional VLF detectors.
