Minelab GPZ 7000 Review
Based on the spec sheet and owner reports, the GPZ 7000 is worth it for serious prospectors chasing maximum nugget depth - skip it if you're new to the hobby or working on a tight budget.
Pros
- ZVT technology paired with a Super-D coil is reported by owners to find nuggets up to 40 percent deeper than the GPX 5000
- Full-color LCD display with dedicated Gold Mode and Ground Type settings for different terrain difficulty
- Coil is waterproof to 3 ft, and the detector includes Wi-Stream wireless audio transmission
- Regarded by one forum poster as made by the brand that produces the top of the line gold metal detector
Cons
- Priced well into flagship territory - one owner compared the cost to being worth more than my car
- Not a beginner machine; it's built for prospectors who already understand ground balance and gold-mode settings
- Heavier and bulkier than Minelab's VLF models, at 17.0 inches tall and 14.0 inches wide
- Headphones supplied are non-waterproof, so care is needed around water
