GPX 5000

Superior Gold Detection!

More features and functionalities make the GPX 5000 the second-best gold detector in the world!

In metal detection technology, the GPX 5000 sets a high standard. The high-performance GPX 5000 is highly capable of detecting more gold than other metal detectors, incorporating Minelab’s unique innovations such as Multi Period Sensing (MPS), Dual Voltage Technology (DVT), and Smart Electronic Timing Alignment (SETA). With the GPX 5000, you can find anything from nuggets smaller than a gram to the elusive “retirement nugget” and everything in between.

The use of advanced features, functions, and exclusive technologies ensures that GPX detectors operate smoothly and quietly, even in the most extreme ground conditions, while maintaining impressive depth and sensitivity to gold nuggets.

Eight timings are accessible by changing the digital switch and processing the detector’s electronics on the GPX 5000. Each timing is configured for optimal output in specific circumstances, so selecting a new timing is like using a different detector.

It is also perfect for the expert relic and jewelry hunter who demands the best and wants to recover targets deeper than ever.

You can activate and use six factory-preset search modes and automatic functions—simple for both novices and experts.

Technologies and Features:

MPS (Multi Period Sensing): Minelab’s advanced pulse induction technology transmits pulses over different time periods. At multiple time intervals, MPS frequently samples the received signal, allowing for the separation of target signals from ground signals. This technology effectively absorbs ground signals, even from highly mineralized soil, making it accessible to both small and deep gold.

DVT (Dual Voltage Technology): Minelab’s advanced pulse induction technology uses pulses of two voltage levels to further enhance MPS. Combined with the various pulse durations transmitted by MPS, the two voltage levels work to increase the amount of power transmitted into the field. DVT also eliminates more ground signals, further improving depth and sensitivity in highly mineralized soils.

Key Features:

Eight Ground Timings: 8 timings make the GPX 5000 extremely versatile. It’s like having eight detectors in one. The GPX 5000 adds three more timings to the five found on the previous model: Coin/Relic, Salt/Gold, and Fine Gold.
Fine Gold Timing offers even more depth and sensitivity, bringing home more gold nuggets, even from previously worked ground.
Salt/Gold Timing is perfect for all nugget sizes in salty ground, such as at the beach.
Coin/Relic Timing is the deepest ever for benign ground conditions.
Enhanced Electronics: For increased target sensitivity and ground balance performance.
Six Preset Search Modes: Easily turn on and detect with Hi-Mineral, Patch, Hi-Trash, and Pinpoint, in addition to General and Deep search modes. Each mode can be customized to your favorite personal settings. The open search mode menu can also be renamed.
Increased Rx Gain: The setting offers more reliable sensitivity monitoring for optimal performance.
Automatic Ground Balance: Options make it easy to adjust the detector to suit all ground conditions. Includes settings for fixed, tracking, tracking speed, ground balance type, and Quick-Trac button.
Audio Settings: Optimize target signals for your personal hearing ability. Includes settings for threshold, tone, audio type, signal peak, response, target volume, volume limit, and stabilizer.
Iron Reject: Adjustable to suit the level of iron trash you are detecting.
Motion Control: Adjustable to match your sweep speed and maximize target responses.
Tune (Noise Cancel): Automatic and manual options to minimize electrical interference.
Backlight: Read the LCD menu in any light, allowing you to detect day or night. The backlight also has an adjustable timeout to help conserve battery life.
Lightweight Li-ion Battery: With an integrated Speaker Booster for about 12 hours of use. Includes both AC and vehicle chargers.
Low Battery Alert: Audible alert when battery is low.
Two Coils Included: Comes with an 11″ Double-D coil and a 15″ x 12″ Monoloop coil for additional flexibility and value.
Languages: English, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic (manual only).
