- Long sessions with harness-supported detecting
Not ideal for:
- Casual or lightweight detecting setups
- Underwater detecting beyond shallow coil submersion
Detailed Overview
The GPZ 7000 is designed to solve the challenge of detecting in extreme ground conditions where mineralisation limits traditional detection methods. By combining ZVT (Zero Voltage Transmission) technology with Minelab’s Super-D coil, it focuses on ground stability while maintaining sensitivity across varied soil types.
It performs well in remote and demanding environments such as mineralised UK soils, open moorland, and historic prospecting areas. The included harness and swing arm help manage the detector’s weight during extended use.
Key Features Explained
ZVT Technology
ZVT technology differs from conventional pulse induction by maintaining a continuous signal, helping the detector manage mineralised ground while supporting detection at varying depths.
Super-D Coil Design
The supplied Super-D coil uses a unique configuration intended to improve ground handling and signal stability compared to traditional mono or DD coils.
Gold & Ground Search Modes
Gold modes (High Yield, General, Extra Deep) and selectable ground types allow users to adjust operation based on soil conditions and target response.
Wireless Audio & Display
Wi-Stream wireless audio reduces cable clutter, while the full colour LCD and adjustable backlighting support visibility in different lighting conditions.
