Minelab GPX 6000 Gold Metal Detector
Powered by GeoSense-PI™ technology, the GPX 6000 is the fastest, lightest and simplest way to find all types of gold in one machine.
Features
GEOSENSE-PI™
GeoSense-PI™ technology analyses and responds to ground signals with great clarity and precision, so you can detect in difficult environments once thought undetectable.
It rapidly suppresses unwanted signals via three overlapping feedback systems for superfast detection of even the tiniest gold pieces.
Powered by GeoSense™ technology, the GPX 6000® is in tune with you and the earth.
FIND ALL GOLD
Small fragments to large nuggets and everything in between can be accurately located with this one detector.
EASY EXPERT
With automatic features and an easy-to-use interface, you’ll be an expert at finding gold from the moment you turn on your GPX 6000. Because Automatic Ground Balance continously adapts to changing soil conditions as you swing your detector over the ground, there’s no need to adjust any settings. Finding gold has never been easier.
LIGHTER SWING, LONGER DETECTING
Weighs only 2.1 kg (4.6 lb), featuring light carbon fibre shafts, streamlined control box, and signature U-Flex™ armrest so you can detect for longer and feel comfortable doing it.
Tested in the harsh environments of the Australian outback, Africa and the Middle East, the GPX 6000 can withstand extreme heat and heavy rains. A 3-year warranty is included, backed by Minelab’s global support.
Coil options include a versatile 11″ Monoloop coil for tight spaces and pinpointing tiny gold pieces, a 14″ Double-D coil to detect gold accurately even in salty environments, and a 17″ Monoloop coil to search areas faster and find big nuggets. All coils are waterproof to 1 m (3.3′).
Whether listening with the loud and clear external speaker or the supplied wireless Bluetooth® headphones, you’ll never miss out on the sound of gold.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the detection depth of your metal detectors?
Our metal detectors vary in detection depth depending on the model and the type of metal being detected. Generally, our detectors can identify targets at depths ranging from a few inches to several feet. For specific models, please refer to the product specifications on our website.
Can I test my metal detector with freshly buried metals?
Freshly buried metals cannot be detected immediately. For a metal detector to sense the buried metal, it needs to disrupt the magnetic field, which requires the metal to remain underground for a certain amount of time.
What is the detection distance of your professional metal detectors?
Professional metal detectors locate metals buried for many years by detecting subtle environmental changes caused by these metals. They utilize bio-energy interaction, ionization technology, electromagnetic field detection, advanced microprocessor analysis, long-term soil disturbance detection, and sensor fusion. The longer the burial time, the easier it is to detect these metals due to more pronounced ion fields and electromagnetic signatures.
What factors affect detection capability?
Several factors can influence detection capability, including:
● Soil Conditions: Mineralization levels and moisture can impact performance.
● Target Size: Larger targets are typically detected at greater depths than smaller ones.
● Detector Settings: Adjusting sensitivity and discrimination can help optimize detection.
What are some practical testing methods for professional metal detectors?
● Field Testing in Historic Sites: Test in areas with known buried metal objects, like historical battlefields or archaeological sites (with permission).
● Using Known Buried Objects: Test in places where long-buried metals are documented, such as old farm fields or construction sites.
● Avoid Air Testing: Do not test with unburied or freshly buried metals. These detectors work by detecting ionization fields around long-buried metals, unlike hobby detectors.
● Avoid Testing Inside Structures: Testing indoors can lead to interference from numerous cables, electrical systems, and other factors that can affect the performance of professional detectors.
How do I maintain my metal detector?
To keep your metal detector in top shape:
● Clean After Use: Remove dirt and moisture from the detector, especially the coil.
● Store Properly: Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperatures.
● Check Batteries: Regularly check and replace batteries to ensure optimal performance.
Can I use my metal detector into the water?
Some of our metal detectors are designed for water use, while others are not. Always check the product specifications to see if your model is waterproof or submersible before using it in water.
What should I do if my metal detector isn't working properly?
If your metal detector isn't working, please follow these steps:
● Send Us a Video: First, send us a video demonstrating how you are using the detector. In 95% of cases, the issue is due to user error.
● Technical Review: Our technical team and the manufacturer will review the video to determine the cause of the issue.
● Next Steps: Based on their assessment, we will provide a solution, which may include fixing the device, replacing it, or confirming that it’s a user error.
