TerryinHawaii Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I am using the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 here in Oahu. So far I have found 16 gold jewelry items. And yes, I do dig a lot of tin foil and many small pieces of other types of metal. Most of the time, I can operate in manual sensitivity level 9 or 10. In some areas, I do have to switch over to auto sensitivity + to be able to hunt. I do have high hopes for the Equinox 800 here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TerryinHawaii Posted November 19, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2017 Here is a picture of the gold jewelry found with the GM 1000. A dime for size. The 18K gold diamond post was found around 3.5 inches deep but the stone is fake. And it was a good signal. A lot of the gold are just very small pieces. But bottom line, if you are willing to dig a lot of targets. You have a very good chance of taking home gold jewelry. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have wondered about the Gold Monster as a micro jewelry detector and I would say you just proved it is a good fit Terry! I do think the Equinox 800 is going to prove to be an excellent machine for both in the saltwater and in the dry sand. Will it do both well enough to eliminate the need for specialty units? Only time will tell as people around the world match and compare. Looking good so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryinHawaii Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 After I get the Equinox 800 and if it closely matches the Gold Monster in finding small gold jewelry as I think it will. Then I will only use the Equinox 800 for hunting here. I also ordered the 6 inch coil for hunting in between rocks in the ocean water. I must admit that I expect to have several fine gold chains now with the Gold Monster. But maybe I just have not been over the top of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
