The GPX 5000 sets the new
benchmark in gold detecting
technology. With an amazing
range of features and functions
the GPX 5000 is not only
superior to its predecessor, the
GPX-4500, and is in a class of
its own. Featuring Minelab's
exclusive technologies,
Multi Period Sensing (MPS),
Dual Voltage Technology (DVT)
and
Smart Electronic Timing
Alignment (SETA), the high
performance GPX 5000 is capable
of finding more gold than ever
before. From sub-gram nuggets to
the elusive 'retirement nugget'
and everything in between, with
the GPX 5000, you can find it.
New improved electronics, new
Soil/Timings and an amazing
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
detectors run smooth and quiet
in even the most 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 more Timings than ever
before, the 8 Timings available
on the GPX 5000 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 six
factory preset Search Modes and
automatic functions.
When searching for gold you need
the best. If you're looking for
the very best gold detector -
LOOK NO FURTHER.
Features:
- MPS, DVT & SETA Technology delivers to you the most technologically advanced detector yet, making small hard to hear nuggets more obvious.
- New Timings make the GPX 5000 the most versatile ever. It's like having 8 detectors in 1. In addition to five of the Timings found on the previous model the GPX 5000 introduces three new Timings: Coin/Relic, Salt/Gold and Fine Gold.
- Fine Gold Timing gives even more depth and sensitivity than Enhance — bring home more nuggets even from ground thought to be completely worked out!
- Salt/Gold Timing is great for all nugget sizes in salty ground — outstanding at the beach!
- 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
- Six preset Search Modes gives you easy switch on and go detecting. In addition to General and Deep search are: Hi-Mineral, Patch, Hi-Trash and Pinpoint. All six Search Modes can be modified to your personal favourite settings. Menu accessible Search Modes can also be renamed.
- Increased Rx Gain adjustment allows you more precise sensitivity control for optimum performance.
- 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, Response, 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 optimise target responses.
- Tune (also known as Noise Cancel) - Automatic and Manual options to minimize electrical interference.
- Backlight so that you can read the LCD menu in any light, allowing you to detect day or night. The back light also has an adjustable timeout to help preserve battery power.
- Lightweight Li-ion Battery with inbuilt Speaker Booster capability
- Two coils as standard: 11” Double-D coil plus 11” Monoloop coil giving you added versatility and value.
- Languages: English, Spanish, Russian & Arabic (manual only)

15"
x 12" Semi-Elliptical Double D Search Coil -
Greater depth and more ground coverage than the 11" DD, It
provides stable operation in all soils. This is a great coil
for all-round use in highly variable soils and a lighter,
more maneuverable alternative to the 18" DD when seeking out
large nuggets in heavy mineralization. Its semi-elliptical
design provides impressive sensitivity for its size.
10"
x 5" Elliptical Double D Search Coil - This
is the coil that every prospector should carry because of
its endless versatility. Great in thick scrub, heavy
mineralization and high trash; it has superb sensitivity and
surprising depth for such a small coil. It is also great for
pinpointing deep targets found with one of the larger coils
and is extremely stable in all soils.
8"
Round Monoloop Search Coil - The most sensitive of
the Commanders, the 8" round provides the best depth on
sub-gram nuggets in light to moderately mineralized soils. A
popular coil for use on old diggings, it is also a great
coil for detecti g in heavy vegetation. 
11"
Round Monoloop Search Coil - A lighter, more
sensitive and deeper seeking coil compared to its Double D
brother, the 11" Monoloop is a brilliant coil for almost any
situation. The 2nd most sensitive Commander monoloop, it is
also one of the most stable monoloop coils available and
will provide a smooth threshold in most soil types.
18"
Round Monoloop Search Coil - Superb depth and high
sensitivity in low to medium mineralization. This coil will
find targets in heavily worked areas where other operators
have given up. 
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.
