Using The Gold Monster, Part 3: Hints And Tips For Best Performance

[Reno Chris]

Well, the final, part three of my videos on the Gold Monster 1000 are complete and up loaded. In this one I am giving hints and tips on how to get the best performance out of the GM1000. I focus on the types of places that the GM1000 will perform best and some suggestions to prospectors on how to increase your chances to find gold. You can see its a funny opening still picture - I'm going to have to change that frame. It  makes me look like I'm doing some kind of Zieg Heil maneuver.  Actually, I am explaining how if you dont overlap swings, you may miss gold - I have no idea why this was selected by Youtube (done automatically), but I am sure you can change it. Doing these videos has been an educational experience and I will be doing more in the coming weeks.

Chris,

Very nice series on the GM1000 detector!

Thanks for taking the time to product these videos!

I know watching these videos will take some of the mystery of how these new detectors work, and improve our ability to be successful using our new toy!

Glad you liked it - I'm going to do more on metal detectors but I am also planning to do a set on treating hard rock ore all the way from rock to gold button.

Excellent intro to the Monster. Also great tips for beginner and slightly jaded detectorists alike!

How does the Monster do on those Sierra hotrocks around where we seen the bear the year I met up with you...

best wishes

It does sound off on various hot rocks, volcanic hot rocks and larger bits of magnetite (which are the worst of the hot rocks at the place you mentioned). Like a normal VLF, you deal with that by turning down the gain, or in a worst case, switching to discriminate mode. It is a excellent VLF, well designed and easy to operate, but it is still subject to the advantages and disadvantages of the VLF technology.

Thanks, Chris;

I think it would be an excellent back-up, loaner and pinpointer...The only drawback is I would have to buy another detector...
