[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 318816, member: 3960"] We had the APLA field day today at Dardanup, WA. The Prospectors Pick brought along the full range of Minelab detectors including the new toy. The first thing that struck me was the weight. It's very heavy at the coil end for an entry level detector. I checked it out on youtube last night so I was interested to see it in the flesh. We use the % of iron readout on our Whites GMT all the time to get an idea of the type of target. The Gold Monster has a similar sort of indicator. If the scale moves to the right it's gold, if it moves to left it's iron. It worked fine on a little gold nugget and a gold ring but it's not reliable. A guy dropped his stainless steel watch on the ground. When I swung the detector over it from the right it was gold, when I swung from the left it was iron so I guess of you want gold you just have to be swinging in the right direction ;) [/QUOTE]
