The Gold Monster 1000 detector is an entry-level type gold detector. It offers all the basic needs for gold detection, without any of the fuss. Though, using an intermediate 45 kHz frequency, along with a 24 bit-signal processor, it does reduce excess noise and prevents false signals. It has improved technologies that help detect both ferrous, and non-ferrous ions, and can detect gold nuggets between 0.2 - 0.3 grams.
