Common questions
How does the cash back work?
It's instant. $1,000 comes off the GPX 6000 and $1,500 comes off the GPZ 7000 automatically at checkout, online or in store. No codes, no forms, nothing to claim afterwards. Open to Australian and New Zealand residents aged 18 and over, on new detectors only. Minelab T&Cs apply.
When does the Minelab cash back offer run?
From 5 November 2026 to 6 January 2027 (11:59pm ACDT), while stocks last.
Can I use it with other offers?
No. Under Minelab's terms, the cash back can't be combined with any other offer or promotion.
Which detector should I get?
If you're newer to detecting or want something light that's brilliant on small gold, go the GPX 6000. If you've been at it a while and want maximum depth in mineralised ground, the GPZ 7000 is the one. Still not sure? Give the team a call.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Through Studio 19, approved customers can rent-to-buy or rent eligible detectors (18+, regular income, subject to approval). You can also trade in your gold towards your new detector. Call the team on 03 5221 5400 to talk it through.
How does delivery work?
Detector orders for delivery ship to your nearest Post Office for secure collection. Because of recent scams targeting these models, every shipped detector order is confirmed by phone first, and ID may be requested.
What's in the box?
GPX 6000: 11\" mono coil, 14\" DD coil, skidplates, Bluetooth headphones, Li-ion battery, mains and 12v chargers. GPZ 7000: 14\" waterproof coil, wired headphones, Pro Swing 45 harness, Li-ion battery, guide arm, wireless audio module, 240v and 12v chargers.
GPX 6000 vs GPZ 7000: what's the difference?
The GPX 6000 is lighter (2.1 kg), simpler to run and brilliant on small gold, which makes it the pick for most prospectors. The GPZ 7000 is heavier and built for experienced prospectors chasing deeper gold in highly mineralised ground, with integrated GPS and a wireless audio module. Both find big gold. It comes down to your ground and how you like to detect.
Is the GPX 6000 worth it?
For most Aussie prospectors, yes. It finds the small gold a lot of machines miss, it's light enough for long days, and Expert mode means less time fiddling with settings. With $1,000 instant cash back until 6 January 2027, you pay $8,329.
Is the GPX 6000 good for beginners?
Yes. It's one of the easiest serious gold detectors to pick up and use, and the team is always a phone call away if you get stuck on a setting.
What is the best metal detector for gold in Australia?
For most people, the Minelab GPX 6000 or GPZ 7000. They're two of the most proven nugget detectors on Australian goldfields. If you're unsure which suits your ground and budget, call the team on 03 5221 5400 for a straight answer.
Should I wait for the GPZ 8000 instead?
The GPZ 8000 is Minelab's newest flagship (in stores now!). The GPZ 7000 is still a serious deep-gold detector, and with $1,500 instant cash back you pay $9,329. Come into the store or give the team a call and we'll help you weigh them up.
How much is the GPX 6000 in Australia?
The GPX 6000 is $9,329 RRP at Lucky Strike Gold. From 5 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, $1,000 instant cash back comes off at checkout, so you pay $8,329.
How much is the GPZ 7000 in Australia?
The GPZ 7000 is $10,829 RRP at Lucky Strike Gold. From 5 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, $1,500 instant cash back comes off at checkout, so you pay $9,329.
Where can I buy a Minelab GPX 6000 or GPZ 7000 in Victoria?
At Lucky Strike Gold's stores at 120 Bellarine Hwy, Newcomb (Geelong) and 38/324 Settlement Rd, Thomastown (Melbourne), or online with delivery Australia-wide to your local Post Office.
