Mop Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 We still find loads of gold here in Aus around old timer diggings, these old timers were very thorough at getting the gold, but they did miss quite a bit. I am sure the Romans left plenty for you to find with a Monster and if you are finding new flood gold there is still a source shedding gold somewhere upstream. Good luck!

Vince Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello ! Some news after 4 months with my GM1000 in France. As I expected, it is very difficult in the French creeks because there is a lot of trash (leads, nails, scraps...) ! So, a lot of false signals... The GM 1000 really detects very small pieces, it sounds with 1 or 2 mm leads !But i've found my first little nugget with the GM 1000 : 0.286 gr ! The detector also helped me locate cracks filled with trash that were good traps for gold as well.In any case it's a lot of fun 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Congratulations - I am very impressed that you can find a gold nugget in France with a metal detector. You must be a member of a small number of people that have ever done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik_in_Mission Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I would have now a opportunity to get a used GM1000 for 500 Euro. As i understand you can not compare this detector to the GPX Series. Because of my job situation i can not go more than 2 Weeks to Tansania visite my friend there so i was thinking to go and make first a big research about the goldfields, mines and see if we are able to find any gold with a detector before investing more money. But what do you think?? If there is gold, can we find it with the GM1000? Greetings Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Yes, the Gold Monster works and gold can be found with it. That’s not to say it will be if any use to you. Metal detectors are simply tools and the only way to find out if one works for a particular task is to give it a try. The problem is not the detector, it is in predicting the gold geology and the level of operator expertise at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
