[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 675621, member: 3960"] Several years ago when I attended the APLA open day Denise from The Prospectors Pick handed me a Minelab Gold Monster. I thought it was a joke, it seemed too light and feeble to be a real gold detector however I've slowly changed my view. I've witnessed people pulling tiny specimens of gold in quartz where my 6000 failed to respond. Then I see others like Shane from WestOzAdventures using it on a more professional level so obviously I misjudged this little toy/detector. [ATTACH type="full" alt="VLF.jpg"]12208[/ATTACH] I don't have a Gold Monster but I do have other VLF machines with tiny coils. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Coils.JPG"]12209[/ATTACH] Has anybody compared these old, once good VLF machines to the modern Minelab machine? The White's GMT has a 6"x4" shooter coil and the Fisher Gold Bug Pro has a 4½" Gold Bug coil. I'm interested to know if I'm likely to get performance similar to the Gold Monster from these machines.
