Maximum Depth and Control for Serious Gold Prospecting
Maximum depth. Better control. Serious gold performance. The Minelab GPZ 8000 Single Coil Pack is the newest flagship gold prospecting metal detector from Minelab, built for advanced detectorists who want deeper performance in difficult ground. This package includes the Z18 18-inch concentric toroidal coil for expanded ground coverage, deeper penetration, and excellent stability in highly mineralized soil. It also includes the new Pro-Swing 125 harness system to reduce fatigue and help you hunt longer with better swing control.
Why the GPZ 8000 Single Coil Pack Stands Out
- GeoZVT technology: Proven ZVT depth with advanced signal control for high performance in mineralized, conductive, and EMI-heavy ground.
- Z18 18-inch concentric toroidal coil: Designed for maximum depth, wide open ground coverage, and reduced ground noise in highly mineralized soils.
- Echo Sonic Pro audio: Rich layered audio with enhanced stereo separation helps reveal subtle target differences without sacrificing depth.
- Pro-Swing 125 harness: Transfers weight through the hips to reduce strain, improve comfort, and support better control during long hunts.
- WM 14 wireless audio module: Real-time low-latency wireless audio for clear signal detail and freedom from cables.
- Lighter swing: The GPZ 8000 weighs only 2.78 kg (6.1 lb) for more comfortable control in the field.
Built for Serious Gold Prospectors
The GPZ 8000 is engineered for prospectors working challenging ground where depth, signal clarity, and ground handling matter most. Minelab states that the Z18 coil 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. If your priority is a deep gold detector for hard ground and large terrain, this is the GPZ 8000 package to target first.
What Comes in the Single Coil Package
- Minelab GPZ 8000 detector

Why Choose the Single Coil Pack?
The Single Coil Pack is the best fit for prospectors who want to prioritize depth, broad coverage, and a simple package choice. According to Minelab, this version includes the Z18 coil specifically to expand ground coverage and reach deeper soil layers. That makes it a strong choice for open country, patch hunting, and anyone chasing deeper targets rather than building out a full multi-coil setup from day one.
