Lunk Looking at the pictures you posted it looks as if you used the 5" coil most of the time. Did you find it worked better for you ? I'm sure it has to be hot on sub anything. JP posted he is coming up short on getting the GM 1000 and I'm wondering if the dealers here in the US may have the same trouble. I thank you ahead of time when you post more on the GM 1000. Chuck

Lunk Thanks for another great write-up. What is company name of the wireless headphones that Rabbit has on ? Thanks also for so many great pictures. The color of gold I always like be it small or large in size. Chuck

I looked over on Rob's and Chris forum to see if anything is being said about the Gold Monster 1000. Well i'll tell you this I've seen more activity in a funeral home than I seen on the above forums. I got my Gold Monster 1000 on order from Rob but no word today. Steve posted his review of the GM 1000 on each but not one reply so far. Just odd Chuck

Steve Being the GM1000 has two coils and you said the 5" coil would or did hit on a sub grain gold. With the 10X6 did you find it would detect small gold but maybe not to the point of the 5" did? What coil did you find yourself swinging most ? Looking forward to your reply. Chuck

Thanks Steve for a well written report on the Gold Monster 1000. Looking forward on getting my GM 1000. Chuck

Over on Rob's forum Rob himself is saying he has a large shipment has come in but until he can pick it up who knows. He thinks it may be the GM 1000 but won't know till Monday. Like Minelab said come Monday the GM 1000 would be out. I'd call this a positive note. Chuck

Thanks Shelton I really don't know why I ask. I spend money on what I like not what I don't. Chuck

Do we know the price ? I think most here would have liked a better version of the PI ATX. I seen the AT PRO and AT GOLD at the treasure show for the first time. The main thing I didn't like was the the case they were in and because of that I walked away. Oh well they didn't ask me. Chuck.

I have but one question. Why is it when a waterproof detector comes out it never comes with waterproof headphones but the big selling point is it's waterproof ? All of them do it! Chuck

I woke up this morning hearing bells ringing and birds singing but no New Garrett Detector. This month of May is going to be exciting with all the new toys coming out. I guess we need to just sit back and wait. My trouble is that's one thing I'm not good at. Chuck

Hey Steve Is this show and tell coil yours? I need to get in contact with the dealer I got my Deus from to see about the cost and get one coming to me. I've yet to cross over to the V.4 but willing to do so after I get the HF coil. I appreciate you so much for going out finding things of interest to all and posting them here. Thanks again Chuck.

Steve Thanks for posting the video. Chuck

HardPack Here In San Antonio Tx. it has already been over a 100. I went out to hunt the other day starting at 86 and stop after it hit over 90. Chuck

HAHAHA You got me. Next time I'll look when not sure. Oh well before I couldn't spell it and now I R one. All is well being I went back to correct. Thanks Chuck

Swifty When this GM 1000 gets in the hot little hands of people that make videos it's no telling what we'll be seeing. What detector ever been used for nugget hunting will be tested against the Gold Monster 1000. Not no much to see what's better but to put the Gold Monster in it's place. I myself let it stand alone. It don't have to prove it better than others because I just want to enjoy what it can do. Chuck

I'm sure all have seen a faucet drip. Well as we get nearer to the big day for the Gold Monster 1000 to show it's face it's like that faucet. With time that faucet will drip more and at the same time we hear a little more on the GM 1000. To fix the faucet is replace it. Nothing will fix the GM 1000 even when it out because we'll want to know more. For the guys don't have one it will be the videos they'll have to see to get to the final of buy are not to buy. I've had one on order and you can't it. I just put my faith in Minelab knowing they make a great product. Chuck

Chris Ben Well you can say you came home with the bacon in the form of gold nuggets. They all look like keepers. Just think how many times you've been out and came home with nothing but a pile of trash. The best to you on your next time out. Chuck

Thanks Steve for posting Mr. Hoagland review and a well written one. I hung on every word he had to say about the Gold Monster 1000. I'd say he didn't C12 H22 O11 coat it. Chuck

Steve Thank You. I guess a little of something is better than nothing. I could blow up the picture and hang it on the wall. What happen to the saying a picture is worth a thousand words but this one says nothing. Oh well thanks again. I think the guys at Minelab have all put super glue on their lips. Chuck

Steve I do believe what you said it would work for shallow water hunting and add a snorkel you won't need more. I would run the Scuba in front of me to run off any stingrays that may come your way. Chuck.

When I went to that Treasure Show this past weekend I had my hot little hands on the Scuba Tector. What I could tell it s well made but didn't get to test it. I'd told myself I was coming home with one but the wireless won out. When I go to something like that show I only take so much money in the way of cash. That is the only control I have on buying things. Oh not over with it yet and I know where the dealer is. I don't see the Scuba Tector much of a pinpointer. For small nuggets detecting is out and like Steve said the big ones is no trouble seeing. Just maybe a beach hunt it could work for you but my TRX works for me . You ask why I'd want one and the answer to that is I don't have one. When do I need to have a reason other than what I said. If you don't think like me you may need to make a appointment so we can talk about your thinking.haha

Yesterday I connected the new wireless headphones to my MX Sport but nothing sounded right. You move the detector around it made all kind of noise and the sound coming through the headphones was bad too. I disconnected the the wireless but the detector done the same. It showed the battery level was good but I put new ones anyway. Then what was said on EMI may be my problem. So outside with the MXS I go and now not one oddball sound came out of it. What I was in was a small room that I play around with my junk. I have a light,fan and a small TV not over three feet away. With the electrical field around me I should light up too. Chuck

I've had what you call a 5.3 coil on my Eagle 2 for over 25 years and loved it. That what I wanted in the first place but at the time it had to be the Detech 7 " or nothing. I do like the coil as said on other post. I'm not sure if I'll buy it now being the 7 is doing what I wanted in the beginning. I don't see me putting out money to buy the 13 when the coils I got now from White's fill my needs. Chuck

Rob Looks like a great combo setup for all. Chuck

Steve Just maybe the reason for it not being tight on what you said. To all you other guys that was asking. Yes it is all about the nut standing behind the detector. Anyone who will get out on a cold day detecting has got to have a nut loose.But don't we love it. When I find a nugget are a coin I just get so warm inside. If I was to die then it would take the Mortician three days to get the smile off my face. Chuck
