GPX 5000 text Minelab GPX 5000.
Creation worth it's weight in gold!
Free $400 Gift Certificate!

More new features and functions make the GPX 5000 the best gold detector in the world! 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, it 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 smoothly and quiet in even the most severe ground conditions, while 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.

MinelabSEPro Minelab E-Trac. Minelab's most technologically advanced detector sets a new benchmark for the industry!
Free $250 Gift Certificate!
E-TRAC is Minelab's most technologically advanced detector, incorporating unique Full Band Spectrum (FBS) Technology. Its sleek, sturdy design, innovative control panel, intuitive menus, clear LCD, robust lightweight coil and comprehensive targeting options set E-TRAC apart from any other detector available today. Minelab has taken a further ground breaking step by incorporating a USB interface, which will allow you to download and upload E-TRAC settings, User Modes and Discrimination Patterns using your own Personal Computer (PC). E-TRAC will locate valuable metal objects in a variety of mineralised ground conditions such as extremely salty soils, sea water, wet beach sand and highly magnetic ground conditions. By using the E-TRAC you can become one of the many successful detectorists who combine their passion for the outdoors with the excitement of discovering valuable coins, relics, gold and jewelry on a regular basis. E-TRAC Technology E-TRAC delivers FBS technology with Simultaneous Frequencies ranging from 1.5kHz - 100kHz through its powerful microprocessor. The frequency range means that the signal received from the detector coil is analysed from a wide range of responses. This allows E-TRAC's advanced signal processing to rate detected objects according to their ferrous and conductivity (FE-CO) characteristics and analyse more target information so that the target identification (ID) is more accurate. Minelab's Smartfind (TM) is a unique two-dimensional scale of discrimination. Smartfind (TM) graphically represents both the ferrous and conductivity properties on the same display. This combined with E-TRAC's target Discrimination ability eliminates signals from undesired targets and accepts signals from desired targets. E-TRAC's technology means: - Greater detecting depth - High sensitivity over a wide range of targets - Less interference from electromagnetic sources - More accurate identification of target characteristics E-TRAC Xchange E-TRAC Xchange allows you to download and upload detector settings and Discrimination Patterns via USB to your Personal Computer. This advanced feature is designed to allow you to quickly configure the E-TRAC to particular detecting environments and preferred targets. You can always share your experiences and settings with other detectorists. The installation CD and Xchange User Guide supplied with your E-TRAC ensure you can get started straight away. You can build a resource library charting your success with your E-TRAC. Download and store your valuable Settings, User Modes and Patterns for your favorite sites and upload them as required. There's no limit to the number you can store on your PC so make the most of your E-TRAC and never worry about losing your successful settings again!

MinelabSEPro Minelab Explorer SE Pro.
Free $150 Gift Certificate!
Minelab's Multiple Frequency Full Band Spectrum (FBS) technology is the only technology in the world that provides the serious treasure hunter with both deep detection and deep precision discrimination, regardless of ground conditions and target type. Serious detectorists understand that every outing is a unique moment in time that needs to be enjoyed and maximised. Minelab's Explorer Professional detector will handle varying conditions with maximum results! Explorer's FBS technology automatically transmits28 multiple frequencies simultaneously from 1.5kHz to 100kHz. The lower the frequency used by a detector, the deeper it can penetrate. At low frequencies however, the sensitivity to small targets is sometimes reduced. The higher the frequency, the higher the sensitivity to small targets, but higher frequencies will not penetrate the ground as deeply. The increased frequency range of the Explorer SE Professional means more sensitive and accurate target identification at greater depths. FBS technology also improves the detector's ability to cancel ground mineralisation. Ground Balancing is automatic, so whatever the field conditions, the Explorer Professional maximises depth, sensitivity and discrimination.

Features:

=28 Frequency Full Band Spectrum™ (FBS) technology

=New lightweight, perfectly balanced waterproof ultra-light & ultra-tough 11" DD coil

=NiMH battery pack or 8 x AA Alkaline batteries for long battery life.
