Easy, Automatic Gold Hunter
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 utilizes 45 kHz VLF technology and a 24-bit processor for high sensitivity, capable of detecting even tiny nuggets. Two coil options provide terrain versatility, while automatic ground balance, sensitivity, and noise cancellation minimize guesswork. Features a Gold Chance Indicator and simple controls to assist with decision-making. Ideal for finding loose gold or small nuggets, including in saline or variable soil conditions.
Feature
45 kHz VLF + 24-bit processor ensures higher gold sensitivity, cleaner signals, minimal false noise, and sharper audio in mineralized soil. Suitable for rugged terrain.
45 kHz VLF + 24-bit signal processing
Real-time automatic ground balance, sensitivity, and noise cancellation ensure simple, stable operation for Gold Detecting. Ideal for users who value convenience and ease of use.
Fully automatic settings
Lightweight at 1.33 kg and collapsible to 94.4 cm—comfortable for all-day use and easy to transport. Perfect for extended hunting sessions.
Lightweight + Compact
Improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination to distinguish iron from valuable targets; offers greater stability in conductive or saline soils compared to higher frequencies. Suitable for gold hunting in variable terrain.
Enhanced Discrimination
45 kHz VLF + 24-bit signal processing
The combination of a powerful 45 kHz VLF and a 24-bit signal processor delivers high sensitivity to gold—from tiny flakes to larger nuggets. Response is faster and clearer, allowing you to detect with greater confidence across various ground conditions while minimizing noise or false signals. Capable of searching for loose gold/nuggets (flakes to nuggets). Ideal for those pursuing subtle gold signals who still require clean readings.
Smart Ground Balance
Easy-Trak automatically monitors and adjusts to changing soil conditions, reducing false signals and making targets easier to read. The detector remains stable and responsive without manual adjustment. Useful for finding loose gold or nuggets. Ideal for a "quieter" detection experience in challenging ground.
Gold Probability Indicator
Features a real-time visual indicator for estimated target probability: the reading moves to the right for valuable metals like gold, and to the left for ferrous trash or hot rocks. This allows you to make faster, more confident digging decisions. Useful for finding loose gold or nuggets. Ideal for those seeking greater efficiency in the field.
GM 05 Coil
The GM 05 5” Double-D coil is waterproof up to 1 m (3.3 ft) and designed for flexibility and precision. Its compact size makes it ideal for scanning tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. Effective for locating loose gold or nuggets. Perfect for users needing a small coil for easier maneuverability.
Other Features
Rain-resistant
Drizzle-resistant control box protects internal components, ensuring reliable performance in wet conditions. Ideal for those who frequently hunt in humid weather.
Adjustable volume
Adjustable target audio with 6 manual settings, allowing you to customize the sound to your preference while detecting. Ideal for those who prefer precise audio control.
Audio output
Enjoy clear audio from the built-in speaker, or plug in wired headphones via the 3.5 mm (1/8") jack for focused listening in any environment. Ideal for those who frequently hunt in noisy areas.
Dual Battery System
Flexible power options: use the included rechargeable Li-ion battery or an alternative set of 8 AA batteries (not included). Ideal for maintaining flexibility while hunting in the field.
