Designed for serious prospectors, this machine delivers maximum performance across diverse terrains and target types.

Key Features & Benefits

Maximum Depth Penetration

Achieve extraordinary ground penetration with ground-optimised detection that delivers maximum depth on both small and large gold. Match the right mode to the right ground and uncover targets others miss.

Advanced ZVT Technology

Powered by Minelab’s GeoZVT™ technology, the GPZ 8000 offers ultra-high depth performance and superior signal control — even in highly mineralised or EMI-heavy soils.

Z-Set Concentric Toroidal Coils

Choose between multiple coil options:

Z18 (18”) — Maximum depth and stability in heavily mineralised ground.

Z17 (17”) — Strong performance in conductive and EMI-rich soils.

Z13 (13”) — Balanced handling and improved response in vegetation heavy terrain.

These coils let you tailor your detector to suit ground conditions and target size.

Enhanced Detection Audio

The Echo Sonic Pro™ audio system provides rich, layered stereo sound that improves target definition, helping you distinguish between subtle signals and noise.

Comfortable All-Day Operation

At just 2.78 kg (6.1 lbs), the GPZ 8000 is light enough for long hunts without fatigue. Combined with the PRO-SWING 125 harness, you’ll enjoy better balance and reduced strain during extended detecting sessions.

Wireless Freedom

Enjoy wireless audio with the optional WM-14 module — low-latency sound without cables means more freedom and less hassle in the field.

Highly Functional Display

A full-colour LCD with intuitive menu makes settings easy to read and adjust, even in bright sunlight or changing conditions.
