Minelab GOLD MONSTER 1000 Metal Detector with PRO-FIND 40 Pinpointer

Find small gold nuggets with confidence using the Minelab GOLD MONSTER 1000 and PRO-FIND 40 Pinpointer bundle. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 combines sensitive 45 kHz VLF technology with automatic ground balancing, automatic noise cancellation, and simple controls—making it an excellent choice for both new and experienced gold prospectors.

Once a target is located, the included waterproof PRO-FIND 40 helps pinpoint its exact position for faster recovery and less unnecessary digging.

High-Sensitivity 45 kHz Gold Detection

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 operates at 45 kHz to provide excellent sensitivity to small and fine gold. Its high-speed 24-bit signal processor helps distinguish non-ferrous targets from unwanted iron while maintaining dependable performance in mineralized ground.

Simple, Fully Automatic Operation

Spend more time detecting and less time adjusting settings. Automatic ground balance and noise cancellation help the detector adapt to changing conditions, while Auto and Auto+ sensitivity options make setup fast and straightforward.

Gold Chance Indicator

The visual Gold Chance indicator displays the likelihood that a detected target is gold or iron, helping you evaluate targets before digging.

Two Detecting Modes

Choose the mode that best matches the search conditions:

• Gold Mode with iron rejection

• Deep All-Metal Mode for maximum target response and depth

Compact 5-Inch Waterproof Search Coil

The included 5-inch search coil is ideal for working around rocks, brush, crevices, and confined prospecting locations. Its compact design provides excellent target separation and sensitivity to small gold.

The search coil is waterproof to approximately 3 feet (1 meter). An installed coil cover helps protect the bottom of the coil from rocks, gravel, and everyday wear.

Minelab PRO-FIND 40 Pinpointer

The included PRO-FIND 40 makes it easier to locate small targets inside holes, soil piles, bedrock cracks, and other tight recovery areas.

The GOLD MONSTER 1000 features fully automatic operation and 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! 

Overview

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 ≥ 1.0g 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.”
