Minelab Gold Monster 1000 | Which Coil Is Better? 

Best luck out there! Coil to the soil! It’s a heck of a machine. 💪🕵🏻‍♂️

My pleasure! Hope it helps ya get on the gold. Best luck! 💪🕵🏻‍♂️

Awesome! I’m a huge fan of Minelab. The Gold Monster 1000 is great at sniffing out the tiny gold and it won’t miss the bigger stuff along the way. 💪🕵🏻‍♂️

Thanks for tuning in! Best luck!

My pleasure!

Awesome! Thanks for tuning in! Best luck out there! 💪

Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you, and thanks for tuning in!

The bigger coil doesn’t get you any more depth though, misses the larger targets as I showed in this video, and there is far more small gold out there than big stuff. Plus, I don’t even think they are selling the machine with the big coil now. Just the small one.

Best luck to you out there! There has gotta be one for you 💪🕵🏻‍♂️

Thanks Travis!

Glad you enjoyed and you’re spot on about digging everything! I never look at the bar that tells is it’s ferrous or non ferrous. That thing will lie to ya half the time, and more so if the target is at any depth. Far too many folks trust that and they walk away from gold. I had one person swing a target they swore was another steel core ww2 .50 cal bullet. I later swung it and landed myself a 14 gram nugget. 😎 Dig EVERYTHING! Here is the other reason, if you are on a gold area, why leave any target in the ground and assume you know what it is? That’s how nuggets get missed. I may do a video on that topic soon. Best luck out there! 💪

Yeah, it will signal iron, and flip to non ferrous.... best idea is to know a good sound and check it both ways

@@freelancerider100 best idea is to just dig everything. My 2.5 ounce nugget makes the gauge thing bounce all over the place. Never trust that thing, I recommend putting tape over it.

You bet! Best luck! 🕵🏻‍♂️

Any authorized Minelab Metal Detector dealer, which can be found on the Minelab webpage. They are around $1000 USD.

I found that hunting for a patch with the bigger coil in some areas hoping for a nugget over a gram left me empty handed at the end of the day, while the smaller coil picks up all the smaller bits and any plus gram stuff along the way, often totaling in multiple grams for the day. My best day with the monster for piece count was 47 bits for 7.5 grams total, nothing was over half gram. Big coil wouldn’t even have found half of that stuff that day. In this video you can see how the bigger coil couldn’t hear a 1.6 gram nugget, granted it was tucked in. Even then, the smaller coil had no issue hearing it. But yes, in an ultra flat area on larger targets, the bigger coil can’t really miss em. Then again, neither will just about any other machine out there. Best luck out there! Thanks for tuning in!

On the really tiny stuff, generally an inch or two is about all you get. Coil to the soil!

@@waywardwoodward thx

Haha! Make sure you’re swingin that coil off the ground a few inches too! 🫣

Lol if you say so! Minelab detectors have put me on over a troy pound of gold in 3 winter seasons and my dream piece, a 2.52 troy ounce nugget. Minelab for the win.

💪🕵🏻‍♂️ thanks for tuning in!

Ultimately, I feel like it’s for really flat ground with larger targets. I don’t think they even offer the larger coil anymore. They don’t show it in a few recent ads. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll take a Gold Monster over an ole White’s, any day! I had a GMT and that thing was a joke 🤣 who is really trying to find black sand with a metal detector? Gold monster for the win! Best luck out there!

The only people who think the Monster needs a different coil, are the folks who aren’t using the machine right. Sorry to say it like that but I’ve trained dozens of folks who sounded like you do, and now they are out finding gold. User error is the biggest problem the Gold Monster has. Best luck to you!
