Monster Getting Banged By At Least One Aussie, Already

[Steve Herschbach]

If we are going to discuss reviews please link to them. I assume this is about argyle's post here.

There will always be those who want a detector to be something it is not.

Maybe if the words "entry level" are just repeated over and over....

Here are some better reviews http://golddetecting.4umer.net/t25227-gold-monster-1000

I would still like to see a side by side with the White's GMT.

Okay. . So i have been able to read a review where the GM1000 have gotten a good signal on a 11grain nugget a 6" in hot dirt and a 5 G nugget at around 10 inches screaming. . 

This test was done in a hot pi test bed and the 11 grain nugget was pulled out in the field on wet soil. Heres the review.  http://www.goldprospectors.org/News/News-Details/ArtMID/3269/ArticleID/201/A-Field-Test-MINELAB-GOLD-MONSTER-1000

The talk by most "in the know" has been that it's going to be great for beginners. Most of the people on these forums are far from beginners. I am purchasing this detector for my 9 year old son. I bought him a 2300, but it is just too heavy for him. This new VLF should be a lot easier for him to use. When he gets stronger, he can use the 2300 more often. This is a very reasonable price for what you get.

Perfect use I would say!  Light and simple ... the 2300 IS a bit hard for my wife to handle and she needs a bungy.  Now you have me rethinking ... maybe I need to get a Monster for her.  hummmmmm  (I promise I'll never use it!  haha)

That blog appears to be much to do about nothing.  Where's the real review?  It seems to be a STRONG opinion in Aussie speak.  I can't follow the terminology.  How can I learn what he really means?

Give me Kevin, Steve, Lunk and JW's reviews about actual finds and use in the field.

We need a few city folks to go back out in the deserts and mountains so they will know what we are voting for in the future to keep lands available. (I'm a city folk based on where I live!)

All this speculation about the Monster, the bloody thing is a switch & go VLF it is not meant to compete with the PIs or the Z, can`t wait to get mine I`m going to have some fun with it, but I know the Z is THE machine. $1000 machine`s going to compete with a $10000 machine?????????? MLs bloody good but...................

Wrote a reply and supplied a link to the blog I have up on Treasure Talk. Had two people out with the Monster yesterday for training, broke my record and pinged a piece of gold in 10 seconds. One buyer will be selling, he's just not a VLF fan and has no intention of trying to learn even though I told him all this prior to making the purchase (he came into the game on PI's, so has no real concept of hot rocks and ground noise. Hes not angry at me or bagging Minelab, he's just decided VLF'ing is NOT for him), the other guy is having a blast and enjoying his experience.

For people reading this thread who have never used a VLF before especially in Australia, they take effort and patience, that's the nature of VLF's even in quiet ground.......BUT they can be a lot of fun so long as your realistic. If your not prepared to put some effort in I suggest you opt for an SDC instead.

I would love it if Minelab made an SDC with MPF in a Monster housing!!! Imagine that?

Exactlly what we have been screaming for...................come on ML

Better still (if possible) a cut down Z in the Monster box. Don`t want much.............

Would buy one for sure...the SDC is a little awkward to use but it sure bangs the small gold. I finally put a different arm cuff on mine and now at least I don't have to fight  that any more. 

Once in a while you still dig a hot rock with any PI. Hunt around heavy trash for a day and you will either grab your VLF.. or go home!
