White's Goldmaster 24K vs. Minelab Gold Monster 1000?

[Arizona Jeff]

Has anybody done a field comparison of the two machines? Not looking to start any arguments. Just curious about the two machines. Have seen a lot of Gold Monster videos, but very few Goldmaster 24K videos.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have a friend up in Nevada that is a long time pro using the GB2, he bought a GM1000 when they came out, he says its great. Does the job well.

That's great to know as my wife will be using one this season, so it's always great to have feedback (first or second-hand) about someone that was a longtime GB2 user.

Thanks for the input, and as for the discussion about the detectors, I've always found that people have opinions, and I respect that. I also respect that it's OK to agree to disagree and that no offence needs to be taken because of that. However, some people have a hard time with that, but that's their problem: at some point, people have to own their issues, and some never do. So, I'm glad people on this forum are reasonable with their responses, which makes this such a great forum.

All the best,

Lanny

YES! They were tested side by side at Bill Southern's Nuggetshooter Palooza at Jackass Flats a few months ago. The "new" Whites is simply a repackaged GMT. Very capable, but nothing new. The Goldmonster kick its butt on depth, and sensitivity to small nuggletts. The microprocessor in the 1000 is NEW and changes the game. Apples and Oranges.

I had a feeling that this was the case with the 24K. I noticed that the VSAT was more compressed with fewer settings, and the digital display is very simple with a lot of graphics instead of information. I was going to buy one since they aren't very expensive, but when I found out that the coils are specific the the 24K and I couldn't use my GMT coils, I pretty much nixed that idea. I got the Makro Gold Kruzer last year, and I'm very happy with it. The amount of information and options available on the Gold Kruzer is amazing.
