Description

In short. The GDX8000 is a handheld underground detector with six search modes, an 11 inch coil and a 72Wh lithium battery good for eight to ten hours. It runs at 5kHz, weighs 3.9kg and accepts seven different coil trays. It is a general purpose machine for coins, relics and gold rather than a specialist.

The GDX8000 sits in an unusual place. It is built like a budget machine but carries features normally found further up the range: six search modes, both automatic and manual ground balance, and numerical target identification rather than tone alone. The interchangeable coil trays are the part most owners end up valuing, because they let one machine cover rubbish filled ground and open farmland without buying a second detector.

What the GDX8000 Does Well

Six search modesEnough separation between modes to behave differently in pasture, rubbish and on a beach, rather than offering six versions of the same thing.
Automatic or manual ground balanceManual balance is the feature that matters in mineralised British soil. Being able to set it by hand is what stops a machine chattering in iron rich clay.
Numerical target identificationA number plus a tone tells you more than a tone alone, so you dig less rubbish once you learn what the readings mean on your ground.
Seven coil options8 inch, 11 inch, 12 by 15 inch, 14 inch, 6 by 11 inch, 11 by 17 inch and 18 inch trays fit. Changing coil changes the machine more than any setting does.

Who It Suits

Second machine buyersPeople who already own a simple detector and want more modes and manual control without spending four figures.
Mixed ground searchersIf your permissions run from stubble field to shingle beach, the coil options cover more of that than a single fixed setup.
Relic and coin hunters5kHz with numerical identification is a sensible combination for British coins, buckles and buttons in the top foot of soil.
Not for small natural goldA 5kHz machine is not a nugget detector. Small natural gold needs a high frequency specialist. See our gold machines.

GDX8000 Questions, Answered

How deep does the GDX8000 go?

On a coin sized target in British soil, expect six to ten inches like any machine in this class. Larger iron objects read considerably deeper. The bigger coil trays add a little depth on substantial targets and cover ground faster, at the cost of missing small finds.

Is the GDX8000 a gold detector?

It will find gold rings, coins and jewellery, as any decent detector will. It is not a nugget machine. At 5kHz it lacks the sensitivity to small natural gold that a high frequency prospecting detector has.

How long does the battery last?

Eight to ten hours from the 72Wh lithium pack, which covers a full day out with margin. That is noticeably better than the AA powered machines at similar money.

Can I change the coil?

Yes, and it is the most useful upgrade path on this machine. Seven tray sizes fit, from an 8 inch for rubbish and old house sites up to an 18 inch for open ground.

Is it heavy to use all day?

At 3.9kg it is heavier than a starter machine, so the shaft adjustment and your swing technique matter. Keep the coil low and let your arm hang rather than holding it out.

What is the difference between the search modes?

The modes change how aggressively the machine rejects iron and ground noise. Most owners settle on one general mode and switch to a quieter one only on heavily contaminated ground. Spend your first sessions learning one mode properly.

Does it come with headphones?

It has a wired 3.5mm headphone socket. Using headphones rather than the speaker is the cheapest way to hear faint deep targets that you would otherwise walk past.

Do I need permission to use it?

Yes, from the landowner, every time, and scheduled monuments are off limits. See how to get permission.
