Below is a statement issued from Minelab regarding the Minelab GPX 5000 Metal Detector:

Minelab’s General Manager, Asia Pacific, Mr Gary Shmith, commented, ‘This fantastic find in Ballarat confirms the potential for prospectors to succeed with our state of the art metal detectors as they prove that they can find gold that others may have missed. Since it’s release in 2010, the GPX 5000 has been recognised globally as the ultimate detector for gold prospecting and, whilst we are heavily focused on research and development into new technologies, the GPX 5000 will continue to be the company’s flagship product for some time yet.
