Popular Post Reno Chris Posted June 13, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2017 Greetings fellow prospectors! For a more than a year I have thought about doing up some Youtube videos on prospecting and I have finally gotten off my backside and done it! This is the first video of a 3 part set where I will be taking a look at Minelab's new Gold Monster 1000 nugget oriented metal detector. This part one video is an introductory discussion about its various features and settings. In the next couple weeks I will put up part 2 which will be on testing the GM1000 out in the field and then part 3 will cover some practical suggestions for prospectors on getting the most out of your Gold Monster 1000 and a discussion of some of the best kinds of places to use the GM1000. I will publish those other parts soon, but for now, here is the part 1 video. The quality here may not be perfect, but there is a lot of good information and content in this video. Additionally, now that I have the ball rolling you can expect other videos on different prospecting topics coming later once I have completed these 3. - Chris 14 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/3754-a-video-introducing-the-features-of-the-gold-monster-1000/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Chris Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Quote Is that your backyard? Its not the area behind my house, but I consider most of Northern Nevada to be in "my backyard". I got gold from not too far away from that spot in "my backyard". 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/3754-a-video-introducing-the-features-of-the-gold-monster-1000/#findComment-41097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Reno Chris - I believe there are a few detector companies interested in hiring you for their marketing departments. You're doing a brilliant job of giving us a little teaser and then leaving us on the edge of our seat waiting for the next release date Thanks for the first vid - but really looking forward to seeing the next ones with the Monster in action 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/3754-a-video-introducing-the-features-of-the-gold-monster-1000/#findComment-41229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm 90% done with part 3, and about 50% done with part 2 (in the field) - but I still want to do a bit more filming on Part 2. Part of the delay is that I have never done any of this stuff before - I have video editing software I bought a couple years ago, but I am figuring it all out as I go. Part one took 3 times longer than it should have only because I am learning as I go. So the teaser delay is accidental and in truth I am a marketing moron. Steve is the guy who knows marketing inside and out. To film the portion of part 2 - the "in the field" - the segment which is already completed, I went to a place with real bad ground - really ground unsuitable for a VLF in my opinion, and banged out a 3/4 gram nugget with the GM1000. Not to say that the GM1000 is immune to bad ground as it suffers the same as other VLFs, but with the good disc and auto ground balance, I was able to make it work. I have fiddled with VLFs before a this spot, but have never been able to get any gold. Although I've gotten many ounces here with PI detectors and some with the GPZ, this was the first gold with a VLF at this spot. I'll be releasing Part 2 and Part 3 at the same time. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/3754-a-video-introducing-the-features-of-the-gold-monster-1000/#findComment-41327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
