Thanks, it's always good to hear someone else's machine, hitting on a target, what it sounds like for the size it is and the ground your over. Plus, if you can't get out, you can do it vicariously thru someone else's video, like yours.
I've had the GM1000 for well over a year now. My main detector is a Woody modified 4500, but as you say, the GM is used on shallow bedrock.Might I suggest running in all metal and auto1. A good ground balance and it'll run as smooth as glass. On weak signals, I'll move to a manual setting to check, but always run in auto1.
Watched other videos and just got more confused. This one was well presented and it showed in a simple format how to use one of these machines and their limitations.
It doesn't matter if your ground is sensitive and keeps making noise which is obviously annoying and making it harder to determine what is under the ground. Believe me these machines will scream their head off with a sound like you have never heard before when you locate even the smallest piece of gold. Brilliant video thanks for sharing mate
love ya work mate. cheers from tassies west coast wilderness. Had the monster for about a year and now i finally know how and what to use it for. excellent job...yell out if your ever down here mate , i think you would like it.
Thanks for the great video and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I have a couple of other VLF's a Minelab Xterra 705 dual pack and a Garrett AT Pro. several coils for both of them, but neither will pick up the really small pieces like the GM1000. My PI is the Garrett ATX, and while it does pretty good on smaller pieces, it kinda maxes out at about the .3gm or so. So I just bought the GM1000 on Black Friday. Looking forward to getting out with it when I get home. Nevada has some extremely heavy mineralized ground in certain areas. So any tips and tricks you can pass on, would be very appreciative mate!! Thanks, Bob
Glad i got to this video i already decided that my first detector would be GM1000 Until i can afford to upgrade as i wish to do both goldfields and rivers
I think you’ve created a new type of music, the “Waboo Pop” ! You could record a loop and call it the Detectors Rap..... It’s bound to climb the charts and go GOLD in no time 😂😂 Thanks for this vid Shaun , you’ve given a great description and hands on demo on using the GM1000, as well as explaining its limitations. As I’m just at the beginning of a BIG learning curve I really value info vids like this one. GL&HH Mate 👍👍
I just received one of these instruments, I'd like to thank you for this video which -for me- was nothing short of pro in the basics of where/how the GM1000 works best....& What to listen for. Yeah, Peace...
I am thinking seriously about getting a Gold Monster 1000. Your video is quite convincing even if I am in the southwest US (Arizona). Our washes many times have shallow or exposed bedrock and it looks like the GM1000 would be a good machine for this area. Thanks for sharing.
Yes that would be a perfect place for the GM1000, I’m good friends with a guy by the name of Bill Southern he also has a TH-cam channel that would help your a great deal. His Channel name is called (Nugget Shooter ) He lives in Arizona, he specialises in working dry washes with his gm and does quite well. You can learn so much from his videos, tell him I sent you🤠 hope it helps you with better information related to your areas
@@BustedknucklesProspecting Thank you! He lives less than 10 miles from me. I have watched many of his videos. Maybe someday I can visit Australia. Always been a dream of mine... Cheers!
do you have other metal detectors gold bug 2 or a whites gmt or a pulse induction or you like the gold monster do you use rechargeable batteries or the double A ones
I have XPs ORX and Nokta Makro Gold Racer Pro. Any experience with these devices and any tricks of the trade to optimize their gold detecting programs?
Thanks for a great video on the Gold Monster. I just used it last week on bedrock. I found where the bland sands were dropping and found tons of flood gold trapped in the bedrock. Got a nice picker too. Going to Victoria Feb 3-8. Are you near ? Love to see you!
Im just now beginning to understand my whites 24k and how to utilize It as a tool to find the rich ground properly. Thanks for putting this together...also your almost at 10k subscribers!!
I think people put to much emphasis on noisey ground. I have fought noisey ground for 30+ years. Yeah, it's a pain, but I'm pretty good at snagging targets from amongst the noise. My motto is, when in doubt, dig a little! If it's true you'll get an increase in response. Same with discrimination capabilities. I got my monster a few weeks ago and right out the gate got some gold in quarts. Yesterday I broke the ice and got a small nugget in the pouring rain. 🙃 2 hours my rain gear was getting soaked through. I'll be back! This was an area that I previously found some beutiful chispa's and numerous nuggets and had hammered to death with a minelab 2100 and gold bug 2. Also, where I found the gold quartz, I found tiny pieces of blasting cap at 4-5 inches! I guarantee that I've been over and over that ground with the bug and missed those targets! My bug days are over! Hello monster!
The old road runner is beeping pretty good. Great information, your machine wouldn't work where I live. We have 60 different minerals here and that machine would never stop beeping. Thanks for the great video. I really enjoy all your videos.
Nice Sean I used my GM on the gold mode was quieter And found gold as to on all metal mode was noisy But Cameron smith does it your way too Nice little bits too Crouch
do you think this machine would be the best choice for central otago in New Zealand? ..they did have huge gold rush here in the early 19th century and the rivers that flow around here are mostly gravel and rock theres little chinese miners huts all over this region.....i hope you are able to offer some advice mate :))
Loving the vids. I am just starting out and getting heaps of ideas from them. Where do you sell your gold? I don't have enough to worry about yet but hope to soon.
Plenty of gold buyers out there on Facebook.. just get your gold tested for purity before selling it, those gold buyers will down grade your gold purity to get it cheap,, most Australian gold is about 22k purity. I’ll make a video about how to sell gold one day
@@BustedknucklesProspecting Most informative video i have watched on the GM1000 Looked at dozens of you tube vids ,but you have hit the nail on the head.I bought one a few months back and use it in the Territory around the gold fields area where the ground is so hot the machine goes balistic haha ,but as you have explained i have been looking in the wrong spots all this time.Thank you for the great vid !!
While it's a good little detector I've found it tends to only find small gold and have gone back over areas that I had previously used the monster on with a 6000 and found deeper, larger targets.
You explain yourself really well ,,you would be a good tutor i reckon,,but for me these machines are a shocker,,sounds like a kids toy and could not put myself out all day stuffing around with this type of detecting,,,but you explained in your vid this is not for deep detecting,,,there are different machines that do a better job for a little more dough,,,thx mate and keep up the great work and appreciated
I love your videos. Can you test the GM1000 inside flowing water ? I thinking about to buy one, but her over in Germany we have a lot of running creeks with bedrock under water.
Thanks for the very useful video Sean. I was just starting to regret my VLF purchase (Garret AT Max) and thinking a second hand PI may have been smarter. At least I can work the bedrock now whilst my better half pans the gravel. I have to say though the name "Gold Monster" is bit ambitious, perhaps a Gold......Small Animal?
Great Channel........!!!! Thanks for being a great example of what real prospecting is. We always haul out tons of trash when we prospect. I bring an empty duffle bag just for other people’s garbage. Thanks for the great Minelab demo.....!!
I got one about a year ago and it's pretty much useless in Western Australia but, with the 10" cool I got a 2gram bit at a foot. But it is a nightmare you just have to dig everything none ferris.
I can’t give you a fair honest suggestion as detecting has many factors to consider. All I can say is, the 7000 is apparently the best machine on the market but the 6000 is cheaper and probably do just as good of a job. If your a beginner starting out, I’d suggest a sdc2300 and learn with that before blowing 10k on something
One more qeustion please how about the gold monster 1000 is it good to start with or not most of people say gold monster only for rocks olny is that true i 'll sabscribe and like promise you mate
1.78g You can find that nugget on my Instagram page. I only got footage of it seconds after finding it. And I found it only 50 meters downstream from this video location, hence why I’m in the same area swinging my detector in this video.
Is it foolish to go to any dry river bed close to where I live and start looking for gold? Are there any basic features a dry creek must have before you even go out?
Okay, it finds gold just fine, but does the Gold Monster 1000 also find monsters? Can it detect Drop Bears before they attack? No way am I ever going to wander around the bush looking down at the ground all the time with Drop Bears ready to pounce.
David buckle has all the top range of drop bear detecting software kitted to his sdc 2300. David Buckle is the world champion drop bear wrangler for Tasmania
I was discouraged by my GM 1000 and the hot rocks until this video. Thank you for the better understanding of its use.
I’ve been impersonating your accent almost nonstop for about 3 days now. My wife and kids are fed up. It’s priceless. Great video brother! Thanks!

how do you like the modded 4500 ? Any better on hot ground or the same Cheers

Thanks Shawn/Sean....enjoyed and learnt something every time. Take care.
Loved your vid sean. gold monster and creeks seems to be the best combo. learning heaps from you.
Thank you for making the video, it’s given me more confidence on using a vlf machine to find gold.

Believe me these machines will scream their head off with a sound like you have never heard before when you locate even the smallest piece of gold. Brilliant video thanks for sharing mate
you present the most honest review of the Gold Monster 1000 and it's capabilities,thank you, I may up grade to a 4500 or 5000
love ya work mate. cheers from tassies west coast wilderness. Had the monster for about a year and now i finally know how and what to use it for. excellent job...yell out if your ever down here mate , i think you would like it.
Thanks for a great video brother. Here in Arizona the Monster does great in the desert and going over dry washer piles. Subbed to you.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
I think this 1000 is very similar to my Whites GMT. The comment about “moss” is interesting. Great video sir.

Just brought this unit today can't wait to get out and give it ago

Wow! I really love this metal detector hope I can try this one. Perfect for my channel!
You are the master of finding small bits with a detector!
I think you’ve created a new type of music, the “Waboo Pop” !

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video.
I am interested in what PI machine you swing.
It’s not a Pi machine, it’s a vlf
That’s just awesome...I would pass out to find a piece of gold ...
This was my favorite video to date. I would like to know more about using Google Earth to find bedrock. I am in the Arizona desert, USA. Thank you
Another great video Sean - Hey mate have you thought of using a magnet to clean up any suspect targets? - Saves a lot mucking about l can tell ya' ☺
Great video, new subscribers!
Good video,ditching the old gold bug 2 and my new monster comes this week🙂

Thank for doing this video mate. Been asking about the hot ground. Especially at Nundle nsw there is heaps of hot rock.
I have been busier than a March Hare. Missed this one somehow. Thanks for the GM wisdom! Happy new Year Sean!
Great informative video Sean. Thanks for sharing
This guy is a professional. Hes got his own forceps, crevace tools, sniffer bottle

Amigo, qual a melhor bobina do monster pra pequenas pepitas, a bobina maior ou a menor? Grande abraços aqui do Brasil pra vc
Awesome nuggies, well done matey
Very helpful thanks
Very interesting.
that was awesome
Awsome buddy this will help me
Awesome tips and video! Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺🤘🇨🇦
waboo pop...the sound of gold lol
Good tutorial man! Hey is there any chance I would be able to have the same luck with a nox 600 or would I be wasting my time?
Gracias por tus videos, no hablo ingles, pero entiendo tus lindos videos, congratulation, nice, good👍👍

cool, good tips great machine great vid
Great video, thanks for the info. I will need to get out using the GM a bit more I think!
People who use the monster 1000 over here in Arizona find both small and large gold nuggets from .01 up to 4 Oz. I guess Ozzie gold is like brass.
Top Vid!
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching my video 🍻🤠
I just gave the link to this video to Dan Hurd. He just got a Monster 1000 and I don’t know anyone that uses it as well as you man!

Nice little bits too

thanks mate, well done
I need one where can I buy it in South Africa

Just brought one and need as much help as I can get thanks for the tips, just subscribed cheers 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thanks for the sub!
Just got my machine today! Pretty excited to have a go, been panning til now :) what region of Australia are you in?
Good video!
Parabéns pelo vídeo, esse aparelho e muito top, ganhou um inscrito.
great vid man were did you get those pliers from or what ever they are called that you pick the gold out of the crevices
I pinched them from the hospital when I took on of the kids there.
Those are called alligator ear forceps the 10 inch ones are great for getting into tight spots
Are you still using this gold detector , what ones do you use for beaches I am saving for a good gold one
Well what pi machine do you use
I don’t have a pi machine mate, I haven’t needed one yet but I will upgrade to one eventually.
Nice video , keep going back for au . Best wishes
👍.. nice tutorial..

Все четко, по теме. Прибор для скального местонахождения, для плотика не большого пласта золоторудного насыпа над плотиком.
What machine would you recommend for highly mineralized ground
Pulse induction.
Does that mean the monster insnt good for nuggets? Just specks n flecks?
If it finds specs this small, it will scream off its head with a larger pickers & nuggets
I got one about a year ago and it's pretty much useless in Western Australia but, with the 10" cool I got a 2gram bit at a foot. But it is a nightmare you just have to dig everything none ferris.
Good video! How many times did you use the word "machine" ;)
Very good
Black Sand..would that be tin? Still worth some money.
Hi mate i realy need your opinion about GPZ 7000 in Goldfield is it worth it to buy it or not pls advise me thank you very much
