Overview

The Gold Monster 1000 is the easy way to start prospecting. A high 45 kHz operating frequency makes it very sensitive to small nuggets and flakes, and ground balance, sensitivity and noise cancel all run automatically.

The Gold Chance Indicator gives a quick read on whether a target is likely to be gold or iron, and two waterproof coils let you switch between a small coil for tight, rocky spots and a larger coil for open ground.

Highlights

  • 45 kHz VLF with 24-bit signal processing
  • Automatic ground balance, sensitivity and noise cancel
  • Gold Chance Indicator
  • 5" and 10" waterproof coils included
  • Light and simple to use
