Which range fits what you hunt

Four groups, sorted by the facts that decide them: how much of the detector goes underwater, the technology, and the weight.

Beach and water

Minelab rates these 5 models IP68, the whole detector submersible to 16 ft (5 m). Equinox 800, SDC 2300 and CTX 3030: 10 ft (3 m).

Parks and fields

On these 6 models, only the coil is waterproof, to 3.3 ft (1 m). They weigh 2.2 to 2.8 lb.

High frequency and pulse induction

The Gold Monster 1000 runs one high frequency, 45 kHz, with Gold and Deep All Metal modes. The GPX 6000, GPZ 7000 and SDC 2300 use pulse induction or ZVT, and Minelab publishes no kHz value for them. They weigh 4.6 to 7.32 lb.

Pinpointers

Two handheld probes for the last inches of a dig. Minelab rates the 35 waterproof to 10 ft and the 15 to 5 ft.

03

Frequencies across the range

Each line marks the frequencies Minelab publishes for a model. Further right means a higher frequency, which favors small and low-conductive targets such as gold.
