G'Day I'm Simon Mazurek from Minelab Here with Ali from our Dubai office
We're excited to introduce our new universal gold detector
the GOLD MONSTER 1000
this entry level VLF detector will turn beginners to experts in no time
it includes a choice of coils, batteries, shaft and supplied headphones
we've had Jonathan and other field testers carrying out extensive testing for the Minelab
engineering team. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 has already proven itself to outperform
all other high-frequency competitors in mineralised ground conditions
This detector has been designed as a modular, adaptable system with several assembled
configurations. We will now take you through the six assembly steps in the getting
started guide. First screw the middle shaft and lower shaft together make sure
you do them up tightly
then screw the upper shaft and middle shaft together in the same way
you can use either the GM 10 coil for greater ground coverage and depth or the
GM 5 for tight spaces. Before you attach the coil check that the two washers are
in the yoke. Then use a plastic bolt to attach the assembled shaft to the coil
Using two of the shaft clamps attach the control box to the upper shaft
Make sure you line up the notches on the clamp and the control box
Ensure the clamps are tight enough so that the control box does not rotate on
the shaft. Now use the remaining two clamps and bolts to attach the armrests
Position the armrests just below your elbows and then tighten. Check that the
coil, control box and armrests are aligned and positioned correctly.
Adjust if needed, then do the bolts up tightly wrap the coil cable around the shaft
If you do not do this a loose cable may cause noise and false detection
Connect the coil cable to the control box and tighten the connector
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 comes with two battery options rechargeable lithium ion battery and a
carrier which holds eight double-a batteries. The lithium ion battery can be
charged using the supplied AC plug back or a 12 volt DC vehicle adapter cable
Insert the battery into the battery compartment with the Minelab logo
facing outwards, lock the battery cover into place
if you prefer to use headphones while detecting then connect the headphones to
the control box. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is fully automatic so you can just
turn on and go detecting. With no complicated controls or ground balancing
procedures to learn. You'll then be spending more time finding gold and less
time adjusting settings. There's just three quick steps to carry out. Press the
power button. Hold the coil in the air for about 10 seconds. Place the coil on
the ground and begin detecting
the GOLD MONSTER 1000 has some additional controls that will help
increase your chances of success. The detect mode has two search option for
optimum efficiency. When you first start up the detector Gold mode is selected
This mode reject signals from iron objects, allowing you to just dig the
gold. You also have the option of changing to Deep All-Metal by pressing
the detect mode button. This mode detects gold deeper but it also detects iron trash
The gold chance indicator shows you how likely it is that a detected
target is gold. You can manually adjust the sensitivity of the detector to suit
the ground and your swing speed. You can increase the sensitivity to maximize
depth or decrease the sensitivity to minimize noise. The volume level can be
adjusted up or down to suit your hearing
So if you're looking for the best performance to get started gold
detecting, this is the detector you've been waiting for. The GOLD MONSTER 1000
is super sensitive to small gold nuggets it really does deliver the results
