ADELAIDE, Australia , July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Minelab is proud to announce the launch of the GOLD MONSTER 2000, a fully automatic gold detector engineered to deliver more precision, more depth, and more gold in all soils. Retailing at USD $1,799, the GOLD MONSTER 2000 is positioned as a high-performance option for both experienced gold prospectors and those ready to achieve serious results in the field.

At the core of this release is Multi-Au Technology, Minelab's new hybrid detection engine that combines the sensitivity of VLF with ground-condition versatility of Pulse Induction for effective performance across diverse soil types. This proprietary technology is optimised for detecting fine gold at greater depths in mineralised soil, increasing performance and maximising yields. It's a major step forward in both reach and efficiency.

Audio performance has been significantly enhanced with Echo Wave audio, a refined signal response system that improves clarity without compromising target depth. Users can now distinguish gold signals from hot rocks, rubbish, or background noise. On-screen, the Gold Chance Indicator provides immediate visual feedback, shifting towards either probable gold or ferrous targets to support faster, more confident digging decisions.

Sensitivity is easy to manage, with 10 levels of manual control and an advanced automatic mode that continuously adjusts in real time. Combined with Easy-Trak and Quick-Trak Ground Balance, users can detect without interruption, even as soil conditions change.

The GOLD MONSTER 2000 also brings significant improvements in portability. It features a collapsible carbon-fibre shaft system that is lightweight, durable, and ideal for transport in remote terrain. The full system is designed for immediate field readiness.

KEY FEATURES:

• Multi-Au Technology – Hybrid Simultaneous Multi-Frequency, with VLF sensitivity and Pulse Induction ground-handling performance
• Echo Wave Audio – Enhanced tones cut through noise to identify real targets
• Real-Time Visual Guidance – Gold Chance Indicator and ample Target ID range (0–99) combine for smarter decision making
• Easy-Trak and Quick-Trak – Automatic and manual ground balance for continuous performance
• 10 Sensitivity Levels and 2 Auto Modes – Manual control or fully automated operation
• 3 Detection Modes – Maximum sensitivity in mineralised, conductive, and mild soils
• Wide Frequency Range (12 to 75 kHz) – Detects small gold near the surface and larger targets at depth, without switching machines
• Lightweight Telescopic Shaft – Collapsible carbon-fibre and fibreglass construction for rugged terrain

Included in the box: 5" DD waterproof coil, telescopic shaft, control pod, armrest, 2 rechargeable Li-ion batteries, wired earbuds, AC and car chargers, and a Getting Started Guide.
