Minelab Gold Monster 1000 Product Brochure

[Steve Herschbach]

Seriously. This is a 3 lb. hot 45 kHz VLF with automatic ground tracking, iron disc, two coils, and rechargeable Li-Ion battery system for $799. Compare to a White's 48 kHz GMT at $729 + 6" round coil at $139 + NiMH battery & charger at $135 for $1003. The 56 kHz Makro Gold Racer Pro Pack is about the same package at $899. Considering this is a Minelab - extremely competitive pricing. I am sure everyone thought the GM1000 would be more expensive.

When I purchased my GMT over 20 years ago, it didn't come with headphones so add that cost to the comparable total for a GMT (if that is still the case). If the Minelab comes with headphones as shown included in the carton, that is an even better deal. Last time we had the GMT out it was so beat up (couldn't hardly hear the speaker) that I decided that we needed a new one, but will try this new Minelab instead and see about sending in the GMT to have the speaker fixed and a tune-up.

Any $$$ figures being floated yet?

Mentioned in the post on top of this page at $799. That is the "sell for" price being advertised on numerous U.S. dealer websites.
