Authorized Minelab Dealer Since 2014
Simple to Operate and Built for Finding Natural Gold
The Minelab GOLD MONSTER 1000 is a good choice for folks who want to try their hand at gold prospecting without having to learn a bunch of complicated detector settings. Whether you're searching old goldfields, dry creek washes, rocky hillsides, or working around exposed bedrock, this detector is designed to help locate small natural gold nuggets.
Operating at a high frequency of 45 kHz, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 is especially sensitive to smaller gold targets. Its automatic ground balancing and sensitivity adjustments help the detector handle changing ground conditions, allowing you to spend more time searching and less time making adjustments.
One of the features I like about the GOLD MONSTER 1000 is its Gold Chance Indicator. It provides a visual indication of whether a target is more likely to be ferrous material or non-ferrous metal. It's not a guarantee of finding gold, but it can be helpful when deciding which signals to investigate.
With two search coils included, a lightweight adjustable shaft, and straightforward controls, the GOLD MONSTER 1000 is a practical detector for beginners and experienced prospectors who enjoy getting outdoors and searching for natural gold.

Detect Modes
Gold (Iron Reject) • Deep All-Metal
Gold Mode: Helps reduce unwanted iron responses while searching for natural gold.
Deep All-Metal Mode: Allows the detector to respond to a wider range of metal targets when you want to investigate signals without iron rejection.
These two modes provide a simple choice between reducing unwanted iron signals and hearing more of what's beneath the coil.
