Minelab Gold Monster 1000 | Which Coil Is Better?

It’s time to answer this one because I get asked a few times a week, which coil is better on the Minelab Gold Monster 1000? While this is all just personal opinion, watch along for some interesting situations that may make you wonder which coil finds more gold. Best luck out there, whichever you go with. Thanks for tuning in!

    Thank you I just bought a gold monster 1000 with a 5 inch coil. Took me two years to save up for it. This video was awesome. Thank you.

    That was a great video. I’ve heard rumours of the bigger being better and I tested both and like you found the smaller wins hands down. Now I’ll give you something about the gold monster that will shock you. I dug a piece of 1.5g of lead into the ground to see how deep the monster will eventually lose the signal, what I found shocked me, the signal jumped from non ferrous to ferrous. I tested three different mineralised grounds and each time at a certain depth the signal will jump from gold to metal. I now dig absolutely everything but most of the time it’s just mineralised ground. Try it for yourself. I’d be mighty interested to see your outcome.

    Glad you enjoyed and you’re spot on about digging everything! I never look at the bar that tells is it’s ferrous or non ferrous. That thing will lie to ya half the time, and more so if the target is at any depth. Far too many folks trust that and they walk away from gold. I had one person swing a target they swore was another steel core ww2 .50 cal bullet. I later swung it and landed myself a 14 gram nugget. 😎 Dig EVERYTHING! Here is the other reason, if you are on a gold area, why leave any target in the ground and assume you know what it is? That’s how nuggets get missed. I may do a video on that topic soon. Best luck out there! 💪

    Thanks for the info Don't think I've ever used the 10 in coil very much as I've had the same issue with getting into smaller spaces. Never found a 'nugget' but keep trying. Don't want to find a massive one.... just one to be happy with no more 'sad' days.

  • @waywardwoodward

    9 күн бұрын

    My pleasure! It depends on the rock. Smaller rocks that aren’t hot, it will usually hear something under them. As for gold in host stone, it should hear anything good. If you think the rock is making a noise, kick it out of the way and double check. I’ve had lots of faint targets come to life that were hiding under what I thought was a hot rock. Best luck!

    The bigger coil doesn’t get you any more depth though, misses the larger targets as I showed in this video, and there is far more small gold out there than big stuff. Plus, I don’t even think they are selling the machine with the big coil now. Just the small one.

    Gday from Australia, I've just purchased amonster 1000 after some research. I live near Tamworth NSW australia, I haven't seen any videos on the use of this metal detector like your video. You seem to run it straight on the ground not off it. do you wear out pads, where I live there is alot of crystal,lots of grass tussocks, I heard that electrical insulation tape around the outside edge helps to conrol remval of magenetic material adhering to the side and causing false readings...any thoughts?

    Howdy! It’s a great machine! Mine had found me ounces and ounces of gold. You are correct, run the machine on the ground or you’re not running it right, simply as that. Every bit you’re off the ground, is depth you’re losing. If it can hear a small bit an inch in the ground and you’re an inch off the ground… you’re just gonna walk right over all the gold. There ain’t nothing in the air, I’ve already looked. They made the coil cover replaceable and coil they only cost a few dollars. I go through one a month when I’m really using it. As for the tape, absolutely! If ya don’t, it’ll get all kinds of magnetics and stuff in there, and yes, it can mess up the signal pretty good. Best luck out there! Coil to the soil! Thanks for tuning in!

  • @waywardwoodward

    I found that hunting for a patch with the bigger coil in some areas hoping for a nugget over a gram left me empty handed at the end of the day, while the smaller coil picks up all the smaller bits and any plus gram stuff along the way, often totaling in multiple grams for the day. My best day with the monster for piece count was 47 bits for 7.5 grams total, nothing was over half gram. Big coil wouldn’t even have found half of that stuff that day. In this video you can see how the bigger coil couldn’t hear a 1.6 gram nugget, granted it was tucked in. Even then, the smaller coil had no issue hearing it. But yes, in an ultra flat area on larger targets, the bigger coil can’t really miss em. Then again, neither will just about any other machine out there. Best luck out there! Thanks for tuning in!

    The only people who think the Monster needs a different coil, are the folks who aren’t using the machine right. Sorry to say it like that but I’ve trained dozens of folks who sounded like you do, and now they are out finding gold. User error is the biggest problem the Gold Monster has. Best luck to you!
