Minelab Gold Monster 1000 product photo
The Gold Monster 1000 is Minelab's fully automatic VLF gold detector, built for anyone who wants to find gold without learning settings first - the touchpad handles ground balance, sensitivity, and noise canceling on its own.

Key Features

At the core of the Gold Monster 1000 is a 45 kHz VLF frequency paired with a 24-bit signal processor, a combination Minelab says 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. It also has improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination and copes better with conductive, salty soils than higher-frequency detectors. The detector runs on a touchpad interface with a gold chance indicator, gold (iron reject) and deep all-metal detect modes, sensitivity options, and adjustable volume controls. Its telescoping shaft adjusts to fit your height for comfortable use in both open ground and confined spaces, and the standard kit includes a 10x6 inch DD waterproof search coil plus a smaller 5 inch DD waterproof search coil for tighter spots. It's also fully automatic, which Minelab positions as suitable for beginners and experts alike.
