Product Usage Instructions

Sensitivity Settings
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 offers three sensitivity options:

• Manual sensitivity
• Auto sensitivity
• Auto + sensitivity

Adjust the sensitivity based on ground conditions and target size for optimal performance.

Operating Modes:
The detector features two main detect modes:

• Gold Mode (Iron Reject): Ideal for gold prospecting while rejecting iron signals
• Deep All-Metal Mode: Detects all metal types at increased depth

Select the appropriate mode based on your detecting needs.

Volume Adjustment
You can adjust the volume of the detector to suit your hearing preferences. Choose from 6 different volume levels for comfortable operation.

Waterproof Design
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 is splash-proof, allowing you to use it in wet conditions without worry. However, avoid submerging the detector completely in water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: What makes the GOLD MONSTER 1000 stand out from other gold detectors?
  A: The GOLD MONSTER 1000 operates at a frequency of 45 kHz, providing high sensitivity across a wide range of nugget sizes. It also features improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination and performs well in conductive soils, maximizing gold recovery.

• Q: How can I maximize my chances of finding gold with the GOLD MONSTER 1000?
  A: Ensure you understand the sensitivity settings and adjust them according to ground conditions. Use the appropriate operating mode based on your target type, and take advantage of the detector’s high sensitivity to gold.

• Q: Is the GOLD MONSTER 1000 suitable for use with headphones?
  A: Yes, the detector can be used with headphones via the 3.5 mm jack for private listening while detecting in noisy environments or for enhanced concentration.

GOLD MONSTER 1000
outperforms all other
single frequency VLF
gold detectors

Up until now, there has always been a compromise between frequency and sensitivity when optimising detector performance, because lower frequencies are more sensitive to larger gold nuggets and higher frequencies are more sensitive to smaller gold nuggets.
When comparing detectors, the three curves in the diagram represent each detector’s ability to find small gold nuggets of a certain size, at a maximum possible depth. Most detectors will find a very large nugget just beneath the surface, however a detector’s sensitivity to gold determines how many smaller nuggets will ultimately be recovered in difficult (noisy) ground at greater depths.
An 18 kHz detector will normally have a depth advantage on nuggets ≥ 1.0 g over a basic mid-frequency detector, and a 71 kHz detector will have a depth advantage on nuggets ≤ 0.1 g. The advanced GOLD MONSTER 1000 uses an intermediate 45 kHz frequency AND a high speed 24-bit signal processor. This primary combination greatly boosts sensitivity to gold beyond that of other single frequency VLF detectors over a wide range of nugget sizes, without introducing excess noise and false signals.
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 also has improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination and copes better with conductive (salty) soils than higher frequency detectors, making it the perfect choice to maximise your gold recovery.
