Lunk Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 2 hours ago, Ashley100456 said: While it is designated as a single frequency VLF operating at 45 khz, the Minelab engineers have designed a new way to spread that out so that you are able to detect targets of all sizes. Sounds like a new innovation never seen in a single-frequency VLF detector before; knowing Minelab, that wouldn't be a big suprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm optimistic about the Monster. It might not be submersible but it looks like it can play in the mud to me. Knowing how well the Auto ground tracking and sensitivity works on the CTX this Monster might be a smooth running little beast. Also the components look to be versatile so you can put them on custom shafts easily. Might be able to put together an ultralight telescopic shaft setup to throw in a backpack.. Extend the shaft for regular detecting and shorten it up for banks and hill sides. Bryan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have it from good authority at Minelab and have been given permission to pass on.... "Control box is water resistant / rain proof / splash proof, but not designed for submersible underwater operation. The coils are waterproof and can be submersed underwater for detecting operation. Specifications and depth rating for the coils will be published soon." From http://www.minelab.com/customer-care/product-notices?article=305146 We are pleased to announce that the GOLD MONSTER 1000 detector will be available soon. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 turns beginners into experts with fully automatic operation in an easy-to-use, high performance detector. The GOLD MONSTER 1000 comes with a choice of coils, battery options and shaft configurations. If you are looking for super sensitive gold performance at a great price, then this is the detector you've been waiting for! Features: Fully automatic operation Extra sensitive VLF performance Highly adaptable 2 search coils included Easy quick start 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Jones Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 2017 is shaping up to be a good year for metal detecting with Minelab and XP releasing new products. Hopefully Whites and FT have a rabbit in their hats as well and there's the QED, Rutus out and probably Impact on the way and I'm probably leaving something out. Interesting times indeed!

whitebutler Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Is there a release date? What is the definite price tag? Like the 19" there were a few different things posted about them. It's hard when there is a release of a new product when so many see and perceive things differently. I like to know facts and get things in order so I may make the right and educated purchase of said product. I thank Steve for being forthright and bringing facts to us. All the other garbage I've read in this machine makes me a bit confused. Thank you Steve for your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
