- Metal discrimination with integrated Gold ID-XL technology
Best suited for
Best for professional users and serious searchers who need a compact 3D ground scanner for soil anomaly detection, cavity searches, gold prospecting and metal discrimination in one system.
How it works
The GPA 500 XS uses GPA sensor technology to measure changes in the ground. These changes can be caused by metal objects, mineral structures, cavities or other soil anomalies.
The measured data is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to the supplied Android tablet and displayed in the GPA Visualizer app. The user can view scan data in 2D live mode or as a 3D visualization for later analysis.
The integrated Gold ID-XL pulse induction detector adds metal discrimination. Conductivity values and metal type indications help distinguish metals such as gold, copper and aluminum during field work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GPA 500 XS best used for?
The GPA 500 XS is designed for 3D ground scanning, gold prospecting, treasure hunting and detecting soil anomalies such as cavities, voids and buried metal objects.
Is the GPA 500 XS a GPR system?
No. The GPA 500 XS is not a Ground Penetrating Radar system. It uses GPA sensor technology to measure changes in the ground and visualize anomalies in 2D and 3D.
What is the maximum search depth?
The manufacturer states a maximum search depth of up to 10 meters. Actual depth depends on soil conditions, target size, scan method and the type of anomaly.
Can the GPA 500 XS distinguish metals?
Yes. The integrated Gold ID-XL pulse induction detector provides metal discrimination through conductivity values and metal type indication.
What software is included?
The GPA Visualizer app for Android is pre-installed on the supplied tablet computer. A USB flash drive with software for processing data on other computers is also included.
Can the device be used on mineralized or rocky soils?
Yes. The GPA 500 XS adjusts to different ground conditions and can be used on rocky, mineralized and difficult soils.
