Thank you.... yeah, I have a small collection. A company just sent me one to try. It is an entry level so I am not sure how I am going to like it. I hope to get it into a video in a week or two...cheers and if you don't have one yet, good luck in deciding. Any questions, feel free to ask. I do have the 3 Minelabs and an older Garrett.
I considered the Gold Monster, but ended up staying the course with my Gold Bug Pro. I find it extremely useful in all environments from mountain and desert to beach and even parks and tot lots. The other day I was cleaning up on targets in the wet on the beach at Ocean City, MD. That was a great surprise as I usually don’t do the wet, but now know I can. Great video on the Gold Monster. Very helpful for me. Thank you.
Very cool...I am sure your GBP was the right choice. I don't remember why I got this one but it is in my tool bag so I will get some good use out of it. This was a fun video to make and experiment with it....thanks
Reminds me of when I had a GM1000 and was detecting on local beaches. Much better out in the goldfields on small nuggets otherwise as you say, lots of little bits of foil, pull tabs etc. I reckon you’ll do much butter with your Equinox’s. Good luck on your next hunt 👍⛏😁✌️
Great video !!!! and great humor you guys are awesome as always made laugh so hard again with the tent steaks lol 😂 and that gold master detector is a beast for prospecting !!!!!! 👍🏴☠️💍
Some nice finds from the park, not so much from the beach and now you have done this test you know what's best to take out depending on where you are going that day, and on the tent stakes, what about writing down 6 trip's out to the beaches write down the number of stakes found from each trip as a lottery number, would be so pleased for you guy's if they were picked, have a fantastic weekend, and catch you on the next one 👍✊👍✊
Thanks....hey that is not a bad idea...I am going to come up with something like that...there are a lot of numbers so maybe one for tent stakes and I can pick 5 more items like pull tabs.... brilliant my friend!!!
It is a very sensitive machine. It will not miss even a small BB. The indicator left is for ferrous material. The indicator right is for nonferrous material.
My vallon vmh3cs would have picked up all them targets it even picks up small stuff, so small I struggle to find/see it. It is a pulse induction machine so will detect/find all metal, it goes deep even on low sensitivity. Also can go in salt water I have found loads of stuff with it and you can pick them up for around £300 it is on the heavy side though but nothing a harness can't sort out.
I finally took my equinox 800 to the park near my house which is wood chips in the play area and it kept hitting something in numerous spot from 1 to 35 most things I couldn't find butmy friend said for some reason those chips are always hot every when ground balancing it was in the 60 range. Did you notice anything like that with the wood chips. Great content guys
I don't usually have a problem with wood chips. I mainly use park 1 and drop the sensitivity down to anywhere from 12-16. I find even as low as 10 is good in a tot lot since we are really searching for new drops. Some parks have mesh on the ground under the wood chips and that can be a problem. I have one park I can't detect at because the detector goes crazy. Thank you
@@DigginSoCal thanks for the insight. I'm usually out looking for gold with my monster or the GPX 5000 but really liking the park detecting with the nox
The Gold Monster might be my next metal detector. How is the new scoop working out. Still considering purchasing one. Can you tell us in your next video? Nice videos. Look forward watching them. Hi from Sandpoint, Idaho
Very cool... The Xtreme was my first heavy duty scoop and the CKG was the newest addition. I actually prefer the CKG. It is lighter and the shaft is not as fat. It is better for those long days and is way cheaper. The only drawback I have is the wing nut where the shaft connects to the scoop. It has some play and I am trying to figure out the best way to secure it better. I tried some all weather tape between the shaft and scoop and it only worked for a couple trips. I will try something else but not sure what yet. Other than that, no issues!!!
Thanks for the comment, I know that the GM specs claim 1 meter for depth but it is always about the ground conditions. Finding a cash would be a once in a lifetime find for sure!
On a treasure web site I look at we have a what is it forum and the disc with the "E" on it was identified, I put a post asking for someone to please find the post and when I get a response I will let you know, it drove us nuts Identifying it but at the same time it honed in our researching skills.( I found out where it came from it is the end of a fusible link from overhead power lines they tend to pop off) They "E" may be the companies initial or maybe an alphabetized part # ? we never figured that out.
@@DigginSoCal Either brass or copper as they both would be good conductors I would scratch it to see the color. I imagine brass though probably a little cheaper than copper.
Good hunt. What do you do with all the treasures you find? Do you keep them all? Give them away? Sell them? Tent stakes you must have hundreds of them.
So far I have kept all the better finds. I did not want to sell any incase I was able to get them back to the owner. I have given away some of the small things like pendants and toys. I do have a lot of tent stakes. I did not save them at first but I do now. I am thinking about making something with them...thanks
First time I have ever seen a vape look like that.. like that is just a couple..lol Nice park hunt..So I will take your word for the Goldmonster is not a beach detector..
Yeah..biggest vape I have ever seen. I would use the 1000 if it was my only option but as you know, we have plenty of detectors to chose from.... It is going on my trip up north so I can use it in the rivers but yes, for the beach...there are better choices!!!
@@ohdannyboyjustadiggin Me too... I plan on panning and using my sluice as well...I usually get some Placer flakes but a picker with the monster would be amazing
yes....this detector is great when you want to dig everything as in prospecting...but due to the amount of trash at the beach...yikes can be a bit much....thanks
Gudday people, Just remember this is a dedicated gold finding machine for nugget hunting. Testing it on a beach is not really testing it for it's real purpose, it's for the goldfields. The Nox however is designed to be a beach, park and all rounder. But like you said you had fun with it and it was a demonstration only. Did you get enough for a cupcake? You deserve at least one for your efforts. Cheers and happy hunting Brad
I don't think it's much good for the Goldfields personally. Least not the kind I'm used to. Not good for finding large nuggets in deep ground and/or hot and heavy mineralised ground. Being a very low frequency machine (vlf) and very sensitive I find it's much better for around creeks and stuff, shallow detecting, going over cracks in bedrock for even tiny pieces stuck in them and that kind of thing. Good for that. Even as a sort of substitute for panning to find good pay dirt to pan.
It’s advertised as a all around just like the nox. It is a very sensitive machine and I believe if he had used the other coil he wouldn’t have had the problems he did. He was using the nugget shooting coil to hunt playgrounds and a beach. 😂 Maybe I am wrong but what I have seen from other videos they didn’t have near the issues but I’m going to do more research because I’m about to buy one of these too. I have the Xterra Pro now and absolutely happy with it. I just want the extra nugget power this one is suppose to give. If it does and I think it’s going to.
The problem is that There is more trash at the beaches as in parks, because of human traffic...the GM is great everywhere..theat was a bad review for the beach 🙃🙃🙃

Fun test of the Goldmonster. It is a great machine when out prospecting... but, how does it perform as a daily detector?
Btw the ring had “RI” on the inside of the band?
@@DigginSoCal Possibly means Rhodium Inlaid? :) (I enjoyed your video!)
Interesting...just looked it up? thanks for the info.
I really like that you are bringing out different detectors. It really shows closer to what I would like to purchase for all-around detecting. thanks
Thank you.... yeah, I have a small collection. A company just sent me one to try. It is an entry level so I am not sure how I am going to like it.

The signal is strong so you have hope! Fun for beginners.
Yeah it has a real strong signal. It is designed to find small pieces of gold.
I can't describe how much I enjoy your video! Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope to meet you a day on a beach! 👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏
That would be cool...thanks and we greatly appreciate the support.
I think this was a great test of the Goldmonster. Brian from BHiggles sent me your way, it was awesome of you to give him the Go pro!💖
Thank you. Brian is awesome and is really helping me. Very deserving. Welcome

I agree.... the Nox rocks.... but you can't beat the 1000 for prospecting. I do plan on trying some prospecting in a month or so....
But can’t it hunt gold at beaches also ? If that’s what your specially hunting for ?
That was a cool and interesting test with the gold monster. Really enjoyed that
Thank you Nathaniel...much appreciated
Wished ya'll would make longer videos.
Thanks for your support. I’m always afraid to go too long... don’t know if people want long vids. Thanks for the comment.
The cap you found early before the coins in the wood chips was the top of a champagne twist I think! 👍
Great video !!!! and great humor you guys are awesome as always made laugh so hard again with the tent steaks lol 😂 and that gold master detector is a beast for prospecting !!!!!! 👍🏴☠️💍
Thanks...yes, I am taking it with me on a trip I have planned up near the American River in Placer County next week. Should be fun
Awsome hunt ! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Sweet Bobby pin. I loose a lot of them, only plain ones! Got to love those tent stakes and cupcake money!!
Yes, there are some pretty fancy bobby pins out there...who knew..... found some more tent stakes on our latest trip...vid out tomorrow
@@DigginSoCal awesome!
I don’t know why but I dig this metal detector that you use it just looks like it would be fun to use an accurate.
It’s a great detector. I use it when out looking for gold. Haven’t scored any nuggets yet but will event
there is much better machines out there especially for beach and park detecting.
@@peterbicker8389 For sure... love my other Minelab devices...We usually take out the Nox and Vanquish. Cheers

Was just wondering, did you try a different coil out in the non-desert fields like you were in on this video?
If so, how did that work for you?
No. We only used the small coil.
I finally took my equinox 800 to the park near my house which is wood chips in the play area and it kept hitting something in numerous spot from 1 to 35 most things I couldn't find butmy friend said for some reason those chips are always hot every when ground balancing it was in the 60 range.

Very interesting video.
Thanks
The wierd thing is a weltch plug
Had to google it after I saw your comment. Thanks for the info.
What sand scoop are you using and what handle.
Cool tent stakes and a ring 💍.
Thank you. The gold monster is a good machine for gold but not a great machine for the beach. Thought it would be fun to try anyway.

I just want a detective that only detects gold does it seem very useful if it detects other metals as well
You and me both. If that ever happens they will sell like hotcakes
@@DigginSoCal right I just don’t see the point in buying a gold monster unless it did that
Nice video! Like 82! Parabéns!!
Thank you!
Zijn toch weer leuke vondsten
Thanks...
BOOM💣💥
How deep can this hit targets? Also, they make 3D detectors that can find things up to 26 feet deep like a cache if one was in the area.
Thanks for the comment, I know that the GM specs claim 1 meter for depth but it is always about the ground conditions. Finding a cash would be a once in a lifetime find for sure!

Are you still at it with the Gold Monster 1000?
Thanks
Cool 😎
havent used the large coil yet. the small one works the best
Nice hat Radar...
Thanks. Lol. Does help protect from the sun

All you need now is a detector to find free cupcakes :)
Right....lol. If they invent it she will be thrilled.
@@DigginSoCal but tell her to keep an eye on that figure haha too many cake spoil the hips :)
@@gollumsmeagul8266 She ran the other day and it wasn't even toward a cupcake...
If the bars go to the right that means it’s detecting non-ferrous material. Aluminum, gold, silver, copper.
Yes.... I have tested it on actual gold and if you hit gold (nuggets) it def has a real high tone as well.
Aloe apple 🍎 ewww lol.
Foil is a pain. Sometimes sounds good but yes, digging everything is consuming.
yes....this detector is great when you want to dig everything as in prospecting...but due to the amount of trash at the beach...yikes can be a bit much....thanks
that would annoying digging up all that foil with the goldmonster
machine. I will stick with my equinox 600 which is a amazing machine
I agree. Best used to prospect. Leave the beaches and parks for the other detectors. You def have a good unit.
you can run the sensitivity way low to avoid tiny debris, still picks up bigger stuff no worries
What happened to your little gold heart you found at the park
I have it...but it was not gold...just gold color.

Someone let their LONG hair down on the beach and didn't care about the hair pins!!
You set high mineral sensitivity.... You need to read the manual and watch more RUclips ???????
Gold monster at the beach? Nah, not so much. You definitely want to have a detector with discrimination capability. Keep Digging!
Totally agree....was just a fun test but very frustrating..lol
Lol the GM has Discrimination, press the middle button for a few seconds and it's starts blinking, discrimination done 👌👍
@@skyviewsaustralia It appears for some peoples it is too complicated to do so. Easier to blame the detector then learning how to use it.
