The Minelab GOLD MONSTER 1000 Easy-to-Use High Performance Metal Detector features fully automatic operation and comes with a choice of coils, battery options and shaft configurations. If you’re looking for super sensitive gold performance at a great price, then this is the detector you’ve been waiting for!
Up until now, there has always been a compromise between frequency and sensitivity when optimizing detector performance, because lower frequencies are more sensitive to larger gold nuggets and higher frequencies are more sensitive to smaller gold nuggets.
When comparing detectors, the three curves in the diagram represent each detector’s ability to find small gold nuggets of a certain size, at a maximum possible depth. Most detectors will find a very large nugget just beneath the surface, however a detector’s sensitivity to gold determines how many smaller nuggets will ultimately be recovered in difficult (noisy) ground at greater depths.
An 18 kHz detector will normally have a depth advantage on nuggets ≥ 1.0 gram over a basic mid-frequency detector, and a 71 kHz detector will have a depth advantage on nuggets ≤ 0.1 gram. The advanced GOLD MONSTER 1000 uses an intermediate 45 kHz frequency AND a high speed 24-bit signal processor. This primary combination greatly boosts sensitivity to gold beyond that of other single frequency VLF detectors over a wide range of nugget sizes, without introducing excess noise and false signals.
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 also has improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination and copes better with conductive (salty) soils than higher frequency detectors, making it the perfect choice to maximize your gold recovery!

“I found my first nugget within an hour”
“I found my first nugget within an hour; funnily enough it was in a detector scrape from previous excursions. All up I found many pieces of gold, the deepest being 3 inches in variable hot ground.”

I love this thing. This is my 2nd VLF detector I’ve bought. It will detect to about 3-4″inches in depth.

This is seriously the best detector I have used. It is user friendly and easy to balance, light weight, and the collapsible shaft that I also got from Rob makes it a dream to use!! I have personally found 1+ Gram nuggets and .05 Gram nuggets with this machine. Check out Youtube.com/ArizonaGoldHunters to see first hand how well this detector performs. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for your help Rob and making this Hobby successful for me!

I had been wanting to get my hands on a Minelab Gold Monster 1000 gold detector and I finally picked one up from Rob’s Detectors. First off, wow! I found gold my first time out, mind you I have 20+ years of hunting the shiny and this is not my first gold detector. But what the Gold Monster 1000 has is simplistic operation, period. It is so simple to use even a gold hermit to figure out hoe to operate it. I really like the iron/gold indicator. When is got a signal I found myself watching it religiously, especially when it bounced from iron to gold on multiple passes over the target area. The detector was easily swung all day long with the included larger coil. If you looking for your first gold detector I would highly recommend this one as your first. I like it’s simple operation so much that I don’t want to give mine up to my significate other, so instead I’m going to buy a second GM for her and my friends to use. It came with two (2) search coils and I could not believe all the bundled items Rob gives to his customers. I’m using every one. He sipped my equipment quickly and has outstanding customer service. Thanks Rob! And no, I’m not paid to say any of this. Simply put, the GM is an awesome, lightweight gold detector and if your reading this review, then your at a great dealership to pick one up for yourself. Happy gold hunting.

Fast, lightweight and extremely sensitive. If your a dry washer this is a must Have machine don’t leave those nuggets behind! The Monster gives really good depth to in-fact you may find yourself tired of digging tiny gold specs that this thing can find lol. Next level machine hood work minelab!

The Gold Monster is an awesome machine. Light weight, Micro-Processor technology, Automatic ground balance, 2-coils, very easy to use. Leave no nuggets within it’s reach behind… This is my second detector bought from Rob’s Detectors. There has never been an issue when dealing with Rob. He answers questions promptly and honestly and the best part… he ships out your purchases fast!!!
