The new features and functions of the GPX 4800 take gold detecting to the next level!
The GPX 4800 features
Minelab's exclusive
Multi Period Sensing (MPS),
Dual Voltage Technology (DVT)
and
Smart Electronic Timing
Alignment (SETA). Building
on the strengths of its
predecessor the GPX 4800 also
offers some of the features
found in the high performance
GPX 5000.
New improved electronics, new
Soil/Timings and a huge range of
features combined with the
legendary GPX ability to ‘see
through ground’ mineralisation,
gives you a significant
Depth Advantage over
other detectors.
Using unique features, functions
and industry leading patented
technology ensure the GPX 4800
will run smooth and quiet in
even severe ground conditions,
whilst still maintaining
excellent depth and sensitivity
to gold nuggets. Serious
detectorists know that GPX
detectors find gold much deeper
than ANY other detector, in ALL
ground conditions. That's why we
are confident to say we have the
GPX Depth Advantage.
With the new Coin/Relic Timing
and an improved Enhance Timing,
the 6 Timings available on the
GPX 4800 change the digital
switching and processing of the
electronics in the detector.
Each Timing has been designed
for optimum performance under
certain conditions, so it is
like having a different detector
each time you select a new
Timing.
Also great for the specialist
relic and jewellery hunter who
demands the best, and wants to
recover targets deeper than ever
before.
Easy for the beginner through to
the professional - you can
switch on and go with three
factory preset Search Modes and
automatic functions.
Features:
- MPS, DVT & SETA Technology delivers to you the most technologically advanced detector yet making small hard to hear nuggets more obvious.
- New Timings it's like having 6 detectors in 1 enabling you to find more gold in more ground conditions. In addition to five of the timings found on the previous model the GPX 4800 introduces the new Coin/Relic timing.
- Coin/Relic Timing is the deepest ever for benign ground conditions.
- Improved Enhance Timing for more depth
- Improved electronics for increased target sensitivity and ground balance performance
- Three preset Search Modes gives you easy switch on and go detecting. All three General, Deep and Hi-Mineral Search Modes can be modified to your personal favourite settings
- Automatic Ground balance options make it easy to adjust the detector to suit all ground conditions. e.g. (Fixed, Tracking, Tracking speed, Ground Balance Type, Quick-Trac button).
- Audio adjustments to maximize target signals for your personal hearing ability e.g. (Threshold, Tone, Audio Type, Signal Peak, Target Volume, Volume limit, Stabilizer ).
- Iron Reject adjustable to suit the iron trash level where you are detecting
- Motion control, adjustable to match your sweep speed and optimize target responses
- Tune (also known as Noise Cancel) Automatic and Manual options to minimize electrical interference.

Minelab Commander Series Accessory Search Coils
A completely NEW line of PREMIUM high performance coils
- exclusively designed for MINELAB GP and SD Series Gold detectors!
Precision designed, engineered, built and tested by Minelab
The right coil for the right job.
All
the Commander series coils are made using the very best quality
components like gold plated plugs, low-noise shielded cable and
multi-strand Litz wire. Litz wire, is made of numerous, very fine
individually insulated strands. The insulation prevents the windings
from creating eddy currents and thereby "seeing themselves" and
transmitting a false signal. Litz wire has an advantage over other
wire because its high surface area gives it a greater transmission
ability. This translates into a more powerful, energy efficient coil
for its size.
Commander coils are well made, robust coils, designed to cope with the rugged conditions of the gold fields. Designed to get the most out of your GP series detector, the following coils will also enhance the performance of your SD series machine.
- Coil Size & Depth - A larger coil will typically find targets hidden deeper in the ground, but they can be less sensitive to smaller targets. A smaller coil is typically more sensitive to small targets, but does not go as deep as a larger coil.
- Mineralization - A Monoloop coil will often have improved performance over a Double D coil but can be more difficult to ground balance and therefore possibly more noisy. A Double D coil is often more stable in heavily mineralized areas.
- Terrain & Vegetation - A larger coil requires more open ground whereas a smaller coil can be easier to guide in tight bush or rough terrain. Obviously a smaller coil is also lighter weight than a larger coil.
- Discrimination - In areas where discrimination is required, a Double D coil will provide a more accurate ID. In high trash concentrations, a smaller coil is preferable.
- Search Pattern - A Double D coil will typically provide a 'blade-like' detection pattern from the toe to the heel of the coil, which gives excellent ground coverage. A Monoloop coil has a detection field that is typically cone shaped, which requires overlapping of sweeps to ensure thorough ground coverage.
Gold Through Technology
In designing the range of Commander coils, Minelab's Product Development Department used the latest in computer imaging programs to create 3D maps of the performance and search pattern coverage of each of the coils. Shown below are a couple of typical mapping diagrams quite clearly demonstrating the blade like search pattern of a Double D coil and the cone shaped pattern of a Monoloop coil.
What's the Difference?
Double D coils provide a blade-like detection pattern for accurate
ground coverage. They handle heavy and variable mineralization
better than monoloop coils and they allow the use of the Coil switch
found on the GP series. Pinpointing is done along the center of the
coil. Monoloop coils are more sensitive and deeper seeking than an
equivalent sized DD, but can become erratic in very mineralized
soils. The detection field is cone shaped, so it requires
overlapping sweeps to ensure thorough ground coverage at maximum
depth. Very sensitive around the outer rim, the coil can be tilted
on edge when pinpointing tiny targets.
Choosing the Right Coil for the Job
There are five main things that you should consider when deciding which coil is best for your terrain and target.
- Coil Size & Depth - A larger coil will typically find targets hidden deeper in the ground, but they can be less sensitive to smaller targets. A smaller coil is typically more sensitive to small targets, but does not go as deep as a larger coil.
- Mineralization - A Monoloop coil will often have improved performance over a Double D coil but can be more difficult to ground balance and therefore possibly more noisy. A Double D coil is often more stable in heavily mineralized areas.
- Terrain & Vegetation - A larger coil requires more open ground whereas a smaller coil can be easier to guide in tight bush or rough terrain. Obviously a smaller coil is also lighter weight than a larger coil.
- Discrimination - In areas where discrimination is required, a Double D coil will provide a more accurate ID. In high trash concentrations, a smaller coil is preferable.
- Search Pattern - A Double D coil will typically provide a 'blade-like' detection pattern from the toe to the heel of the coil, which gives excellent ground coverage. A Monoloop coil has a detection field that is typically cone shaped, which requires overlapping of sweeps to ensure thorough ground coverage.
