Discover the Gold Monster Series — Precision, Depth, and Simplicity

The Minelab Gold Monster Series combines advanced gold-finding technology with true ease of use. Whether you choose the compact, trusted Gold Monster 1000 or step up to the Multi-Au™ power of the Gold Monster 2000, you’ll experience automatic ground balance, superior sensitivity, and steady, quiet operation across variable soil conditions. Each model is built to help you spend less time tuning and more time unearthing gold.

Why Prospectors Choose the Gold Monster Series

  • Multi-Au™ Hybrid Detection (2000): Simultaneous multi-frequency with PI-style ground handling for unmatched stability in mineralized soils.
  • High-frequency Gold Performance (1000): Optimized single-frequency sensitivity for tiny nuggets and shallow gold.
  • Smart, automatic setup: Real-time ground tracking, noise cancel, and easy turn-on-and-go simplicity for all skill levels.
  • Confidence-driven feedback: Gold Chance Indicator and numeric Target ID help you dig smarter, not harder.
  • Built for the field: Lightweight, telescopic, and weather-resistant designs with waterproof coils to 1 m (3.3 ft).

Key Features Across the Series

  • Automatic + manual sensitivity controls
  • Noise cancel and quick ground tracking for consistent performance
  • Clear, backlit display with real-time target response
  • Rain-resistant control pod and waterproof search coils
  • Compatible with a range of coils, accessories, and headphones

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose Gold Monster 1000 if you want a proven, lightweight, easy-to-use gold machine with excellent sensitivity to small nuggets and minimal setup.
  • Choose Gold Monster 2000 if your sites are highly mineralized, you want more depth and stability, and you value numeric Target ID for faster decision-making.

Tip: Coil choice can make a big difference. Smaller coils help isolate tiny targets in trashy or rocky ground; larger coils improve coverage and depth in open terrain.
