Whether you're working old mining claims or searching for jewelry at the local park, the Gold Monster 1000's automatic features let you focus on finding targets instead of adjusting settings. The included GM 10 coil provides excellent depth on larger nuggets, while the compact GM 05 coil excels around rocks and in tight spaces where bigger coils can't reach.
Beyond gold prospecting, this detector handles relic hunting, coin shooting, and beach detecting with ease. The fast processor and automatic ground balance work particularly well in ghost towns and old homestead sites where mineralization challenges other detectors.
