I bought mine 2 weeks ago, second time out with it today between jobs and only had 1 hour to detect, 10 tiny bird shot and 2 tinier bits of gold from an area I've been to 6 times in 4 years with 3 other detectors and never found gold here until today, after an hour when I had to go I called the boss to say I had to work tomorrow because I won't finish all my jobs before end of month next week (little white lie), he gave the green light so I'm going to have a really early start tomorrow and drive to Castlemaine and smash out 2 jobs before lunch, then back to this spot and get a few hours detecting in before heading home again.
I love this Gold Monster, so quick and easy to use and to produce 2 bits on my second time using it for 1 hr swing time in a place I'd all but given up on has put me on a big high today, awesome

Hi Anthony, not sure what factory settings are but I use manual 10, all metal mode, after the advise on this thread and from a friend that runs a GM.Trash said:ProspectorPete said:Here's some of the shot found today with the two bits of gold, on the 5c in case you still can't see themWishfull said:

I went back out yesterday for a few hours to the same spot and got another 3 bits including a specie and about 6 bird shot, the GM is awesome once you know what you're listening for.

Hi Macca,
Just curious to when you say "all metal mode" Is that what others are referring to as "deep" on the centre section of the screen?
If so does the TID display still function

Hey everyone. I just bought a gold monster and the control box is loose on the shaft. I have tightened both brackets as much as possible but it's still loose. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey Rod they're down to $878 at Anaconda at the moment I just got mine today!
yes the Gold monster and equinox 600 are all discounted.
The equinox 800 is on special order but also discounted.
Cheers

Seriously considering getting the GM 1000. Had my eyes on it for a few weeks now.
Presently $990 in Anaconda, so I missed the boat on the sale there. Didn't even know about it. Ah well, what can ya do?
Possibly get one this weekend while in Canberra. We'll see.
Never used a detector before, but the it seems like one I could get to know well.
