Minelab’s story began in Australia in 1985 with a determination to push metal detection technology beyond what was possible at the time. Its first detector, the GOLDSEEKERS 15000, was soon followed by a series of innovations that helped establish Minelab as a leader in detecting technology.

Throughout its history, Minelab has introduced technologies designed to help detectorists perform across increasingly challenging terrain. Early milestones included the world’s first truly automatic ground-tracking metal detector, dual-frequency detection, and the company’s first underwater detector. That emphasis on innovation has continued through modern technologies such as Multi-IQ®, Multi-IQ+™, and advanced gold-detection systems.

Today, Minelab produces detectors for treasure hunting, beach detecting, parks and fields, underwater exploration, and serious gold prospecting. Product families including EQUINOX, MANTICORE, X-TERRA, VANQUISH, GOLD MONSTER, GPX, and GPZ give users options ranging from their first detector to advanced professional equipment.

At the center of the brand remains the same spirit of exploration that began more than three decades ago: combining precision, reliability, and continually evolving technology to help people discover what lies beneath the surface.
