DeepMax Z2

The Lorenz DeepMax Z2 is a high-end German-made pulse-induction metal detector for professional prospectors, treasure hunters and archaeologists. Building on the Z1 with higher sensitivity, greater depth and simpler operation, it is built around the Pulse Ground Balancing System (Pulse GBS) enhanced by Pulse Shaping Technology (PST): short, intense magnetic pulses induce eddy currents in buried metal that are read back during a time-delayed receive phase. Pulse GBS is designed for searching at depth and stays largely stable over saltwater, most mineralised ground and temperature swings, with three ground-balance options (preset, two-step automatic and manual). A single-piece anodised aluminium control unit houses the latest analog-to-digital electronics and drives a customisable LC display with metal identification, giving a 000–099 conductivity reading plus ferrous / non-ferrous ID. Just three controls keep operation simple, while a sophisticated multi-channel data logger captures several tracks of ground data at once. With the optional Surfer and Lorenz Scripter software, that data becomes 2D and 3D colour, contour and surface maps — twelve per field — turning raw signals into a readable picture of what lies below. The Z2 accepts a wide range of interchangeable waterproof search coils, from a 26–35 cm Double-D for pinpointing to large 1 m × 1 m and cable frame coils for maximum depth over big targets. It runs on low-self-discharge NiMH batteries for worldwide use, charges from 100–240 V AC, and can connect an additional battery + GPS power-bank module to double runtime in the field.
