Metal Detecting: NoktaMakro Gold Finder 2000 Review

[@thylacine1962]

Would you recommend this machine for a first time gold prospector? Thanks for the review.

[@thehuntergt]

If you are sure nuggets are in the area - yes - it will be good for a beginner.

[@DangerousDaveKincaid]

Great review, I was looking at the Gold Kruzer but now the Gold Finder 2000. For hunting gold which would you maybe pick? Thanks Dave....

[@thehuntergt]

I actually like this one for ease of use and out of the box performance. I would have kept this over my Gold Kruzer, but have a nasty scratch in my screen.

[@LordRa88]

it's great to see you getting back to form. I know it's baby steps but it's baby steps in the right direction. Thank you Patient X. you are my go to for any review. Keep your head up, spirits high, and enjoy each day. See ya in KY one day once your fully healed up. your a bad ass so you definitely will get there. thanks brother.

[@thehuntergt]

Thank you good sir! Very kind.

[@ausmith77]

Nice fair review. It would be interesting to see the nail board test done with the 5 inch hockey puck coil.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks! I can attest that it does pass the nail test with both coils.

[@willardreasoner1694]

does the Iron nails... keep the small nuggets from sound off? Good Video

[@thehuntergt]

Yes...no gold in nails like that. Thanks for watching.

[@tonybatchelor5101]

Would have appreciated seeing the display as you were doing the air test and the test with the fine nuggets.

[@thehuntergt]

There is no numerical ID - it is a bar that goes by signal strength. I am almost positive you can use your imagination.

[@markminchau6872]

How does the frequency offset work and have you tried a GK 40 coil on this yet? I'm thinking of the ancient sites for deep targets thanks

[@thehuntergt]

The offset just tries to deal with EMI by changing a 10th of a kHz or so. I have not tried it yet sorry.

[@markminchau6872]

Thank you, I look forward to all your vids

[@Mark-TBH]

I can see a new to treasure hunting so buying that for it ease of usage.

[@thehuntergt]

I agree Mark. Even the intermediate level guys tired of fiddling will enjoy this. Thanks for watching brother.

[@KernowekTim]

Behold, the 21st Century Lobo Super Traq....(showin' my age!), ...courtesy of Nokta Makro Eu. A real sound review as always John. This machine is worth the extra bucks for sure imo. Perfect for 'turn on and go' newcomers, and the more aquaint. Amazing performance on those low conductivity targets, esp: for depth merchants! Tough as a Turk. Collapsible......yada yada. The 'not 100% water-tight' isn't much of an issue really, considering the arid locales most gold-seekers will find themselves searching in. The satellite speaker is a must for rattler, brown-snake territories..Well turned out machine all in all.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Tim. I would like to see the MAP price match the Gold Kruzer when released here in the states - but technology and RnD does not come cheap. People seem to think because it is easy to use that it should be cheaper - but in reality making something complicated into something easy to operate costs $$$. Not being waterproof matters little to me personally. Every single gold prospecting nugget shooting video I have seen has been a dry arid region - never underwater. Get a dredge at that point. Plenty of rattlers here...so I enjoy the speaker for sure.

[@KernowekTim]

@@thehuntergt Exactly, on all your points of view. People eh? Alot of the 'new breed' ask, " ....Yeh I know.. (Yeh right do they), but how deep does it go mate?" Fully aware that they have scant knowledge of how to dig a small hole correctly, never mind one that is in excess of the depth of their nostrils!

[@diggingwithphasetech]

@@thehuntergt I think the wireless speaker and retractable shaft account for the small price increase over the Gold Kruzer. Also includes the headphone adaptor and external battery pod.

[@smelmybut]

So which is deeper on coins the gold 2000 or gold kruzer? Seems that they about equal on small gold.

[@nickhaas2407]

Thanks for the review TheHunterGT!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for watching Nick!

[@vianaalimentar1663]

Hi, what is the best for gold, gold finder 2000 or gold monster 1000?

[@johnspooner4128]

Depends on how much $$$ you have.

[@southernrelics]

Very cool gold detector! I’m hoping to get my hands on one soon to carry to a detector event in Georgia at the Loud Mine.

[@jimmytay100]

Air test are pointless

[@southernrelics]

@@jimmytay100 yes and no. To find the depth, they can be mis-leading. But to see the display and how it reacts to a metal object, they are helpful.

[@johnspooner4128]

Wrong, there fun!

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Appears to be a pretty nice machine.

[@thehuntergt]

For a turn on and go prospecting detector - seems legit. Thanks for watching.

[@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt]

Great review Hunter and great machine!!! perfect for some one starting out prospecting!!!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Papa! I was mighty impressed with it. Seems to be a winner.

[@mustafanajm965]

I have question please did will depth more 10” if the piece of gold big

[@thehuntergt]

Depending on how big the nugget and how bad the mineralization - maybe.

[@gimbohouse]

Great video.I am thinking to buy one.I am thinking about equinox800 or the deus.I already have the siblex and the minelab safari.And pls let me know for gold the safari is good??I mever tryit.And if is ok the safari you can advice me if is better to buy any other coil for safari for gold???Safari works in 1.5 -100ghz...pls. Give me an idea...i am new...Sorry for my english...thanks

[@thehuntergt]

Hi there. I have never used the Safari so not sure how it works on small gold. They do not market it as a gold prospecting machine like this one. Equinox 800 does have a gold mode at 40kHz that does work very well.

[@gimbohouse]

@@thehuntergt Hi again Thanks for the responds.Look.the safari works on 1.5-100ghz.Thats way i ask.My idea my concerns is because works in ful band spectram continuwsly and the others you have to choose the frequency...i dont know sorry i am thiking

[@gimbohouse]

@@thehuntergt i also i found a secind hand very little used the gold monster here for 500euro.is good?

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Impressive Detector.. very Cool..

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for watching Dan! It has my approval for sure. Neat detector.

[@freddylq67]

Very nice & simple machine.

[@thehuntergt]

Yes indeed. Thanks for watching.

[@miningmonkey760]

hmm, wonder why you cant turn off the backlight? hopefully its a software fix and not a full-on requirement for the LCD to work. Nokta Makro is going directly for the throat with ML's competing GM 1000 - "both slogans say Turn on and go Technology,fully automatic." names are very similar. ONe thing that really irked me on the GM1000 was the requiring of constant pumping of the surrounding soil matrix hopefully the GF 2000 doesnt require constant pumping, that to me took alot to get used to or shall i say got frustrated that i sold that machine, the design was horrid because of the dumb rod assembly. ANyways good video HGT! oh , did ML give you any flack for selling a competing model?? btw nice monty testing on that machine, did really well.

[@mustafanajm965]

Wow look very good im change my mind now im go order this one but can’t find for sale any

[@thehuntergt]

They should be available here in US any day now.

[@mustafanajm965]

@@thehuntergt im try with ebay and amazon didn’t find it

[@damxgopak457]

Is it better than a gold monster 1000?

[@thehuntergt]

I am not sure about "better" for finding gold. It for sure passes a nail test better for relic hunting. Some guys like to use high kHz machines for that. Menu and setup are similar - both are nearly turn on and go.

[@Jean777-e9h]

Awesome 👏

[@DIG_5050]

Nice review. Looks like a really decent gold machine. Keep Healing! :-)

[@mehtimies]

Can you compare Gold kruzer and gold finder 2000 with gold nuggets. Air test, how high detect small nuggets

[@thehuntergt]

I don't do comparison videos anymore sorry. I can say that they are very similar in performance on small gold - both being 61kHz

[@outbackyank6122]

I would love to have seen the response on gold pickers with assorted trash around them (and al foil)

[@harrys3518]

What about hot rock's

[@andyamysarizonaadventures5450]

Looks awsome would like see small gold in hot dirt

[@meisteronthebeat2759]

I feel scammed with the cardbox ..what's inside

[@thehuntergt]

What are you talking about exactly?

[@sah57]

Hi can i use the same coil anfibio multi / 14/19 / simplex +

[@thehuntergt]

No they use different coils.

[@MegaTroyhamilton]

I saw this on Facebook.

[@thehuntergt]

Yes indeed - already released in Africa and Australia I believe.

[@terrycurrie6806]

Awesome review....nice simple detector. Too bad it's not water 💦 proof....I'm mostly prospecting around a creek or streams.....one slip and it's toast, so not worth the risk. Otherwise it's an awesome detector

[@jeffmcclendon3835]

It’s a TMD 101 with a frequeny change. Similar to the Gold Monster 1000 but with a much nicer collapsible shaft system, higher frequency, an onboard pinpoint function and a concentric coil option.

[@thehuntergt]

Correct - however most outside of LEO type work have never heard of the TMD. This format not being special use case will sell at a much higher ratio. This being named the Gold Finder 2000 is obviously a direct shot at the Gold Monster 1000 name. I am sure ML was thrilled. Thanks for watching.

[@geosid1696]

Which one is better after the 2000 use. The GM 1000 or the Cruze 2000???

[@swiftdetecting]

Looks interesting

[@bebemurphy4604]

Hello sir good day! I am Emmy. I am interested to buy this kind of gold detector equipment when I go home in the Philippines next year. May I ask about its depth in the ground? I mean how depth could it detect gold bars and nuggets when used in the ground? Thank you. 😊

[@thehuntergt]

Hi Emmy. Thank you for watching. On a gold bar this can likely detect it at 12 - 18 inches or more in dirt. On the small gold I test in this video - maybe 3-4 inches in dirt.

[@bebemurphy4604]

@@thehuntergt ahh okay Sir, thank you so much. 😊 One more question Sir, can you please give me or recommend me one good gold detector,? A gold detector that can reach up to 3ft deep in the ground? Is it possible sir?

[@thehuntergt]

@@bebemurphy4604 You would need an expensive pulse induction machine for that. Likely one of the expensive Minleab GPX gold detectors.

[@bebemurphy4604]

@@thehuntergt How about Sir the Minelab Gold Monster 1000? Is it worth it?

[@thehuntergt]

@@bebemurphy4604 Yes it is worth it for sure - just keep in mond it is made for smaller gold - not gold bars. Very good detector.

Great video Hunter looks like it's going to be a real winner of a machine. Sleek and sexy.

Yes I agree. It will likely be my go to this coming fall and winter when I prospect. Good performance and easy as can be to operate.

[@dannywilliams3516]

@@thehuntergt absolutely Hunter. Usually you've got so many adjustments to make on a gold machine that by the time you get it set up it's time to take it back apart and go home. LOL. Take care buddy. Can't wait to get my butt back to Cali.

[@majmunnemajaja]

this is a copy of gm 1000 and it has gpx stuff in box idk this detector but gm 1000 is best and gold kruzer for smal targets

This is not a copy of the GM1000. Totally different frequency and this GF2000 is much better in iron infested spots.
