Gold monster 1000

First time out,it was easy to use and found lots of alum. pull tabs in the river. No gold but there's a lot to learn and I'm sure this detector will make the process a lot easier.

So first I have to say I love this product. It’s a great metal detector, but the online military discount is a bit difficult to navigate. Also, when I receive the unit and put it together, the carbon fiber, bottom, telescopic arm wobbles when locked into position I fear that this will be faulty and break if it is used on the beach.will be asking for a replacement.

Thanks a bunch guys and gals .

Am totally going to use you guys for all my metal detector needs .Bought a vanquish 560 and besides the wait on shipment due to a pre order once they hit they were to ship it out asap and that's what they did .so far so good loving the hunts so far yet getting the hang of it .I did have the 540 and that was a beast expecting this one the 560 to top that ....and it's doing a great job .Thanks once again u guys have my respects .

Built like a tank! Superb construction, however it is pretty heavy as far as sand scoops go. It's around 6lbs, so if you want a lightweight scoop you may want to consider other options, but if you are looking for a scoop that is built tough and will last for multiple seasons and you don't mind the weight this is a solid purchase. I also like the single clevis pin for attaching the scoop to tye handle. Motley also has other metal detecting shovels and hand diggers, all are quality made.
