Good video Matt. It's nice having 2 machines. I have the Fisher Gold Bug 2 and the Garrett AT Gold. The GB2 is so sensitive that you can't do an air test with your bare hand. The AT Gold is a good one too and has the ID screen and I use it for Gold and relics. Both machines have an affordable price range. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏
I've heard great things about both of those machines. Would like to join you detecting one of these days 👍
It was very interesting it helped me out a lot .Thank you. 🍺👍👍
Great! Glad it helped 👍
Have booth and love booth. Gm.1000 is what I prefer just because I go areas of known gold. I then go over with my sdc2300. But I love the exuonix for finding new ground.
I have both detectors also just learning the Nox, have done good with the monster looking to try out the nox on gold soon
Same here. I have high hopes for the nox. Good monster definitely still has its place though
Try the 10X5 coil by coiltek. That’s what we use in the west Australian goldfields (when not using pulse induction)
The 6” biscuit is my next choice for anywhere mineralised, the 11” has Too large of a sampling area to get decent penetration through iron rich country.
Thanks for the head to head comparison. I've got the 800 and I recently got the 6" coil for it, so that should be even better. I won't keep up with Todd or Gary with the SDC machines, but I can hold my own with the GM crowd...
I have yet to take the 800 gold detecting, I'm just too used to my GM1000. Believe it or not, but I've detected with the GM right behind Gary before and found gold that him and Jeff missed. In fact, that's where a lot of the peices in this video came from 👍
Interesting, that was awesome man. 👌👊
Pretty interested to see how it compares to what I find in the field with the 800
A nice comparison between the two machines.
Thank you 👍
Nice Job Matt
Thanks Jeff!
Great Video, Id be interested if you were able to try this same test with the 6"DD coil on the Equinox 800 vs the 11" to see how much the depth and recognition would change. , I purchased the 800 because i was interested in finding relics as well as gold, have't got a chance to try it out yet.
I will definitely do this when I eventually get the 6" coil. Thanks for watching 👍
I was told using the 6 inch on the 800, is close to the 1000 results.
Plus its water proof.
Hey matt,just got a gold monster!! Thanks for the walk through!! I've been out a couple times to the park across the street!@ just getting to know my machine,and it's tones!! Found some junk,( treasures!!) ,and have done a controlled test on gold ,silver ,brass,and lead!! Can't wait to break this thing out in cali a score my first nuggy!! 🤪 🇺🇲⛏👊
Yes kirk I got both coils!! And I'm down!!
Awesome. Hopefully you find some nice gold with it! Good luck out there today gents ⛏️🍀
Great video interesting on the two detector
Thank you. Hopefully it will help some people out and I can compare it to field findings 👍
im pulling the trigger on the equinox 900 this week... any thoughts?
Boy I’m excited. I’ve been thinkin about the gold monster!!! Hoping my wife gets me one eventually
It's a sweet machine. Was so excited when I found my first gold with it!
Great work brother, Both great machines thats for sure, just depends on who the swinger is and where they are I guess! Can't wait to use my GM once home. Hope all is well dude, see you soon 👊Thanks for sharing!
@SECRET CREEK PROSPECTING heck yeah!
Definitely many variables with any machine. We'll have to start having some detector competitions 💪👍
@@MountaineerMatt heck yeah!!!!! I hope to find some pieces down south, would be nice having it in San Diego backyard
I want to buy one to bring to Brazil and For a beginner looking specifically for gold which would you recommend to get the best results?
Matt that was a great comparison good info. I would like to see you do a comparison with the garett AT gold I have one and it works pretty good I will loan you mine if need be . thanks jeff
Hey Jeff, thank you, I hope it helps some people out. Thanks for the offer. It would be interesting to see how it compares. Let's stay in touch, I may just take you up on that offer 👍⛏️
Let me know thanks
Thanks for video. Deciding which one to get. Might just get the gold monster and a cheaper MD my kid can swing for all purpose.
If it that's what works for your budget go for it. The gold monster does one thing but it does it very well. Good luck 👍
So would you recommend the 800 or similar NM “Legend” for hunting tiny creek gold like we have in NC? Or should I stick with a GM1000 or GoldFinder 2000 which actually uses 61kHz? I’m wondering if I will be ok with a multi-frequency machine that stops at 40khz or do I really need something higher and tuned more specifically for gold. The multi-purpose aspect interests me alot, but my primary use will be for creek detecting for gold.
The GM1000 will likely be better at finding smaller gold compared to a multipurpose machine. A multi purpose machine gives you more options of what you can hunt, but will require much more setting adjustments when hunting for gold. It really comes down to your budget and what you think you'll be doing most with your detector 👍

I have a question: if quarter gram gold rings, say 3-8 on the Eq800, will a 10gram nugget also ring the same nrs or will it change?
Different size gold will have different IDs
I'm looking into purchasing a gold detector now. I already bought the highbanker sluice box.
If you're looking for just a gold detector, the GM1000 is the best bang for your buck. There are links to both the detectors in this video in the description. Feel free to check them out. Plenty of places to purchase online as well, if you don't want to use my links.
@@MountaineerMatt thanks Matt, I've been watching your videos. I bought the GM this morning. I used my sister prime account. Got an extra battery with it and coil. Arrives Tuesday. I need more equipment. I'll check out your links! Can't wait for my GM to arrive!
@@calscottoh Nice! Good luck out there 💪⛏️
Por favor indiquen precio en dólares y donde podemos comprar los detectores en Ecuador
Interesting test. BTW Looks like maybe a hornady ap press or a Lee press frame hiding under that white trash bag... I'm a press detector... 😉
Lol yup it's a Hornady press. Trash bag keeps it nice and clean 🤘🔫
@@MountaineerMatt I'm gonna try that... My presses always need dusting and cleaning before I'm ready to go with them... Thanks! 👍
How’s it going Matt the gold monster and the equinox 800 our great machines you need to get the 6 inch coil for the Equinox I think the equinox discriminate is alot better put the horseshoe button on and it will throw you a negative number on-Ferriss metal I found stuff with the 6 inch coil that won’t even read on a scale extremely small👍🇺🇸
I was thinking about turning the iron tones on after the test. I'll probably do another air test without the iron discrimination. Do you think the 6" coil would be more sensitive than the 12"? It's just so hard to cover ground with the smaller coils in the old hydro pits. The smaller coil is great in between rocks and crevices though. Thanks for the info!
@@MountaineerMatt Oh yeah it’ll be a lot more sensitive on the smaller gold that 6 inch coil is a good tool to have you can go in and clean up Those patchesThe main thing to remember is to go slow because you’ll go right over them small pieces check my videos out
@@swamper4448 and the smaller coils help snipe those targets hiding next to or under trash targets. Definitely going to add it to my wish list. Thanks for the great tips 👍
Hello! How does the detector work in water?gold monster1000?
The gold monster 1000 is not submersible. Only the coil can be put in the water but the monitor cannot.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 love this video. Good job sir
No test of iron, brass, copper with the smaller coil on the monster 1000?
I recently posted a detailed video on the smaller coil with some iron targets 👍

Hey Bernie. I wish I knew but I'm unable to find a price in that area. Check out the link in the description and maybe it will redirect you. Thanks for watching!
No the gold monster gos better on manual mode deep and sensitivity on 8 or on 6 if it’s very mineralised and ground balance it by moving it up and down and moving it around not ground balancing it in the one spot up and down . But it has automatic 2 is even more sensitive then where you had it set on auto 1 not as sensitive or deep
Exactly, some flaws in this comparison. Auto 2 and manual 8 are more sensitive on the gm. I mostly run on auto 2 and switch to manual after locating a target so I don't auto ground balance it out if I'm not using a pinpointer. The gm while being a basic unit has some unique characteristics. They seem to be in demand still and I could sell my gm used for what I paid for it new. I would like to see a better comparison because the nox 800's sell used for a few hundred less than a used gm here in the US. My biggest issue is trying to avoid digging junk, mostly lead bullets and the number readouts are easier for me than determining the sound differences.
Should have used a 6 inch coil on the Equinox, its a gamechanger. And also a bare hand will make a noise in gold mode
Will do another video when I've saved up for the 6" coil. Thanks 👍
consider your inside a building w/ wiring and electric current in the wiring and lights DA
Thanks for friendly comment. The interaction boosts my channel! You're correct that with what you said but these newer and high end machines are able to accommodate for most (not all) of that. I verified these results in the field but what do I know 🤷♂️. Have a great day!
Switch on metal mode after scanning the gold lets check
I was told that reducing the size of coil "6 inch" on the 800
Would give about the same results as the 1000..
Plus 800 water proof and 1000 isnt.
I've heard the same thing about the smaller coil on the 800. Waterproof is a big plus. Although the monster is a much much easier machine to use. They each have pros and cons. Both great machines. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching
Bro i bought gold monster, cant find gold till now using it for 9 months😅😅
I have the GB2 but no gold too :) We have to actually find a place that have gold :)

How much Minelab 1000?
Check link in the video description for current price 👍
Minelab machines are priced by their model number... the equinox 800 is 800$ the gm1000 is 1000$ the gpz7000... you guess it 7000$
i want to buy second hand
MY QUESTION IS IF YOU WERE TO PUT THE COIL FROM THE MODEL 1000 ON TO THE 800 I THINK YOU MIGHT END UP WITH A BETTER GOLD MACHINE THAN EITHER ONE

The coils are not interchangeable between different detectors.
The nox is multi frequency coil
why does numbers even matter everyone i see dig all targets anyway lmao
For me it depends on how picky I want to be with my targets. If I'm in a really trashy area then I'll be a little more particular about which signals I dig. If there isn't to much trash, I dig every target. Or I'll at least get the target out of the ground to verify it's true signal.
love
9:37 .. You would dig a hole before you considered pushing a button to detect in ALL METALMODE.... You have a lot of holes to dig my friend, and you will have earnt every single one.
Thanks for the tips. Enjoying the machine a lot so far 👍
That's a good point. The nox will bleed over from the notched out targets. If you get a random target turn off the iron bias and check again

I have both machines. The Equinox will pick gold out better with the 6" coil. Your test with the big 13" is giving everyone false bs.
Be fair. Gold monster is good on small gold, but both machines will do what they're designed to do. Nox is a multi frequency machine. Monster is for gold only. 😮
This test was with stock coils only. There is no "bs" Not sure if you watched to the end but I explained everything else you said in the video, including how this is a very controlled test and how field observation will vary 🤙
