Using advanced 45 kHz VLF (Very Low Frequency) technology, the Gold Monster 1000 delivers exceptional sensitivity to even the tiniest pieces of gold, making it a true gold detector for both beginners and experienced prospectors.
If you’re serious about gold hunting and want a detector that is reliable, lightweight, and highly sensitive, the Gold Monster 1000 is one of the best gold detectors in its class.
Advanced 45 kHz VLF Gold Detection Technology
The Gold Monster 1000 operates using ultra-wide dynamic range 45 kHz VLF technology, providing excellent sensitivity to small gold while maintaining stability in difficult soil conditions. This proven VLF system is trusted by prospectors worldwide for its accuracy and ease of use.
Easy-Trak Automatic Ground Balance
The automatic Easy-Trak ground balance continuously adjusts to changing ground conditions, allowing smooth and stable operation in mineralized soils. This makes the Gold Monster 1000 ideal for goldfields, tailings, and highly mineralized ground where gold is often found.
Gold Chance Indicator & Improved Discrimination
The built-in Gold Chance Indicator visually displays whether a target has a high or low probability of being gold, helping users make quick dig decisions. Improved ferrous and non-ferrous discrimination also allows the detector to handle salty and conductive soils better than many high-frequency detectors.
