Product Description

If you're looking for super sensitive gold performance at a great price, then the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 is the metal detector you've been waiting for! 

Up until The Gold Monster 1000 metal detector, 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. Most detectors will find a very large nugget just beneath the surface, The Gold Monster 1000 operates at an intermediate 45kHz and a high-speed 24-bit signal processor giving it the perfect balance to find gold of all sizes with a great range of depth.

Items Included:

  • Minelab Gold Monster 1000 Metal Detector
  • 5" DD Waterproof Search Coil
  • 3.5mm/1/8" Minelab Headphones
  • Minelab Composite Digging Tool
  • Universal Shaft Adapter
  • Two Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery
  • AC Charger & Car Battery Cable
  • Collapsible Shafts
  • Getting Started Guide
Coil Cover Included!
Professionals know it's a game of inches. When you're looking for deep or hidden gold it's important to get your coil as low to the ground as possible, the coil needs to be scraping and bumping back and forth across rocks and terrain. Having a quality coil cover is so important, we make sure the Minelab 5" Coil Cover is installed on every Gold Monster 1000."

Overview

Why the Minelab Goldmonster 1000 is a great gold detector.

An 18 kHz detector will normally have a depth advantage on nuggets ≥ 1.0g over a basic mid-frequency detector, and a 71 kHz detector will have a depth advantage on nuggets ≤ 0.1g. 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!  

GOLD MONSTER 1000 outperforms all other single frequency VLF gold detectors!  Detector sensitivity comparisons are representative only. Actual performance will depend upon nugget size, detector settings and ground conditions.

"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."

Jonathan Porter - Professional Gold Prospector, Australia-  “I was able to find nine small nuggets (flakes) so easily that it was a bit surprising! Total weight of all nine is 7.8 grains. None were deep, maybe 3–4 cm at most. Just enough however to be just out of reach of the SDC and too small for the GPZ.”

Learnt "The Hard Way", again, & HAPPY!

Before the way-superior MineLab Gold Monster 1000 there was the Gold Bug 2.
My GB2 was stolen out of a secure storage facility (I've had this unit 10 years without any other trouble) without any clue what-so-ever. 6 months later a GB2 shows up at a pawn shop less than a mile from storage. Unlike the Gold Monster, a GB2 hasn't any serial numbers and I hadn't put any exclusive ID marks nor numbers upon it like the 17 symbols & numbers to positively identify this as being MY MineLab prospecting metal detector ( in addition to the holographic serial #'s on the control box & each of the 2 coils). I much happier to have the better equipment now, possible only through learning the hard way.
Pix & successful operation bragging to follow shortly.
Til then, LOVE - PEACE - & HAPPINESS!

The 1000 Monster

I have several detectors and they are very good, however, my new Minelab Gold Monster 1000 is by far the greatest detector I have used so far. It detects BBs, olld metals, and very small metal down 1 ft or better, drives me crasy. I have not found a nugget yet but hopefully next week I will; going to a mining district. Truthfully speaking, it is very simple and has more pickup then I ever experienced. Very satified.....thnak you High Plains for directing me to it.

Light as can be

Light and adjustable...fixing both problems that minelab did not...if you want adjustable this is the way to go...if you want to just cut the pole that came with the Gold Monster...well you can do that too..

Great shallow bedrock detector!

Great detector for shallow bedrock. Easy to put together and easy to set up. Pretty much turn on. Ground balance, and start detecting. Found 4 Tiny nuggets first time out.

finding treasure

As a rookie/entry level prospector, I bought the minelab gold monster with extra gear. The folks at High Plains got the order out in a timely manner and at a great price during the trying times of COVID! Although I haven't had opportunity to use all the gear due to weather, it looks like it will work well and I appreciate having it. Very happy with the service and will probably buy some more from them once I start finding the motherlode. Until then, I anticipate having fun learning to use the gold monster, enjoying the great outdoors, and of course, coming up with wild stories to tell the next generation while searching for Eldorado! Gold adventure beats internet/tv content any day of the week.... with shared adventures will come treasure... hopefully some of that treasure will have monetary value. Thank you High Plains/Minelab!

Fun of the hunt

We recently purchased some land with a small creek on it. My husband thought I needed a new detector since my White Coinmaster 5000/D is 40 yrs old (but still works good). After much research, we decided on Minelab's Gold Monster 1000. We were very pleased with how quickly it arrived! It is easy to assemble, operate, and carry. It comes with two waterproof coils. Awesome! After watching many Yt videos, we took it to the proprty. I discovered that I needed to watch them again only because I wasn't expecting a carpet of "hot rocks" and couldn't remember how to cancel the noise. I found no gold that trip because of the rocks but had fun starting the adventure and learning process. It's a gold mining area so there is gold near by. I hope to find some but if not, I'll have the "fun of the hunt" cleaning up old metal on 40 acres. Thank you for a well built detector and for hours of entertainment as my Minelab and I become best friends.

Not the gold monster

With the minelabs gold monster being on indefinite back order, I switched to the gold bug 2... Also got a Fisher F pulse pinpoint detector, got to play around with both for a little bit last night, and while the gold bug did everything I expected, the big surprise was the F pulse, on its most sensitive setting it was picking up very small gold (screened to minus 20) at almost 9" away, and the audio discrimiation was very easy to tell iron and aluminum from gold.... can't wait to try them out in the field!

Also the extra gear is very nice quality.

You guys are now my go to prospecting supply shop, I'm very impressed

Minelab gold Monster 1000

High Plains Prospectors had the Minelab gold Monster 1000 on a holiday special. I had a few questions before ordering so I gave them a call. Their customer service was awesome answered all my questions. I received the detector within a few days. The extra gear that came with the detector was great. I would definitely do business with them again. This detector is easy to set up and the 5-inch coil will find small pieces of gold. There is a learning curve but once you get it figured out. This thing is great.
