Gold detecting is a fascinating and rewarding activity enjoyed by people all over the world. By

valuable treasure on a regular basis.

The GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 are Minelab's most advanced gold detectors. They are high precision

Electronic Timing Alignment (SETA) and the latest in high-tech analogue components combined

The GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 will locate gold in all types of ground, especially highly mineralised

ground conditions, with greater efficiency than any previous detector.

This manual is designed to help both the beginner and expert prospector get the best

performance out of their GPX 5000 and GPX 4800.

Minelab wishes you every success in your quest for gold and treasure!

Read your Instruction Manual!

A comprehensive explanation on how to use your GPX 5000’s or GPX 4800’s

functions and settings are set out within these pages. By thoroughly reading this

Instruction Manual you will have a better understanding on how to operate your

Minelab metal detector.

At the top of each page that explains a GPX Series setting you can change, the

“Range” and “Factory Preset” will be stated for that setting. Some settings are

not adjustable depending on your model and have been Factory Set. In the

example above, the available range for the GPX 5000 is Normal and Inverted,

and the Factory Preset is Normal. For the GPX 4800 you cannot adjust the setting

and it has been Factory Set to Normal.

Set the Front Control Panel switches to the

following positions.

Press and release the On/Off switch on the Rear

Control Panel (p. 26).

Raise the coil off the ground and Press the Auto Tune (p. 32)

button to reduce electrical interference. The tuning process

takes approximately 60 seconds. Do not move the coil or

pass metal objects near the coil until you hear 3 beeps.

Turn the Threshold (p. 33) control clockwise until a hum is

audible through the headphones.

Whilst raising and lowering the coil, between 25mm and

100mm (1" and 4") from the ground, change the Ground

Balance switch to Tracking (p. 40). Any variations in the

Threshold will smooth out within 3–5 seconds.

Adjust the Threshold (p. 33) to a very faint but still audible

level. It should be smooth with only minor fluctuations.

You are now ready to start searching!
