  1. Hello All, Many have known the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 has been probably the best all around VLF gold detectors available today. The original version, which is still offered while inventory last, had 2 searchcoils included. This new Gold Monster 1000 offered at a lower MAP Price of $799 will only have the 5" Round Searchcoil and 2 batteries. This is a great deal and most were probably only using the 5" coil for small gold, bedrock hunting, mine dumps and such. If you're interested in this new Gold Monster 1000 Package, contact us today or visit our online store link here - https://www.robsdetectors.com/product/minelab-gold-monster-1000-metal-detector-1-searchcoil-2-batteries/
  2. Working on approving the final prototype covers for GM 1000 and Equinox before they go into production. I thought a Velcro® secured wrap around to secure the coil cord on the Gold Monster 1000 was better than having to force the cable cord into that plastic clip on the machine. I have a feeling that clip is going to cause shorts in the cable. Rob has already pre-ordered, even though I don't know the pricing as of yet. Dang things are labor intensive. Get on his list. Thanks! Doc has
  3. Well, part two and part three of my videos on the Gold Monster 1000 are now complete and up loaded for viewing. In part 2 I do a field demonstration of the GM 1000 in different soils, and in Part 3 I am giving hints and tips on how to get the best performance out of the GM1000, but a lot of that info applies to many VLFs, not just the GM1000. I also focus on the types of places that the GM1000 will perform best and make some suggestions to prospectors on how you can increase your chances to find gold. Doing these videos has been an educational experience and I will be doing more in the coming weeks on a variety of prospecting topics, not just metal detecting. Here is part 3, part two is below 3. Here is Part 2, a field demonstration of the Gold Monster 1000 and its capabilities:
  4. Seems as though the Gold Monster is going to be the next big thing. Anyone with a GPX or GPZ machine will want this as an auxiliary machine for specialized use. For example, I know some really great very rich dry washing area where that little 5 inch coil will kill. Also I have a place where the old timers worked where the gold is about 3 inches down sitting on hard pack. Above that is just fluffy gravel. The big issue there is 40 pieces of trash for each little nugget. The ability to hunt in all metal and then switch into discriminate is a big plus and I look forward to savaging this area. The other thing this detector is going to be really good for is when you are using those really large coils on your induction machine, and have a hole going that is getting pretty deep. Because the shaft is in three pieces you can really shorten it down, and with the 5 inch coil it is going to make a great pin-pointer for those deep holes that you can't get a large coil into. It will save a lot of senseless digging. Got a chance to go play with the Gold Monster 1000. I didn't really do any serious detecting with it, just testing various size nuggets etc. It was 106 out in the desert, so I wasn't exactly in the mood for a hike. What a neat machine. What an easy machine. I have a Gold Bug 2 as well. Hands down I would use the Gold Monster over the Gold Bug if for no other reason than the auto-ground balance, the quiet operation, and it comes with two coils, THAT HAVE COIL COVERS. I remember when I bought my Gold Bug II and I bought an extra coil. I was shocked to see that they didn't include coil covers with the Gold Bug coils, so I had to buy them. Also the Gold Bug runs on 2 9 volt batteries, no rechargeable. This comes with rechargeable and a AA alkaline adapter. The other thing that can be a plus is while the machine comes with headphones, the jack is 1/8th inch. If you want to use a 1/4 inch jacked headphones you need an adapter. However, and 1/8 inch plug allows you to use ear buds, which are significantly cooler. The supplied headphones are "on the ear", as opposed to over the ear. I personally do not like that style of headphone. While they are cooler, on the day I was in the desert, it was really windy. Very hard to hear because of the wind noise using the supplied headphones. No doubt the Gold Bug is a great machine. It has proven itself time and again. But the ease of use of the Gold Monster and the sensitivity, WOW. I also didn't get a lot of detecting done because I had promised my 5 year old grandson I would get him two buckets of dirt so we could look for gold. I have a budding Parker Schnabel on my hands. Other news: Bates has finally came out with a NO METAL, gusseted tongue (important to keep dirt out) boot that is desert tan, and is made for HOT conditions. They are sending me a pair to test out. They are actually called the 8670-Cobra 8”Hot Weather boot. $134.95 8670-Cobra 8”Hot Weather If you have a friend that has a Gold Monster, ask if you can play with it. Takes two minutes to understand how to use this great little machine. Doc
