How it differs from its neighbors
Minelab's Gold Monster 1000 runs lower, at 45 kHz, and Minelab rates only its coil as waterproof, to 3.3 ft. It weighs 2.94 lb. Nokta rates the Gold Kruzer itself, not just the coil, to 16.4 ft.
Garrett's Goldmaster 24k sits at 48 kHz and weighs approx. 3.0-3.4 lb (3.4 lb max). Fisher's Gold Bug 2 runs higher than the Gold Kruzer, at 71 kHz, and weighs 2.9 lb. Both makers list a waterproof coil, not a submersible detector.
Nokta lists a 00 to 99 target ID and Iron Audio. Minelab and Fisher list no target ID scale for the Gold Monster 1000 and Gold Bug 2. Ground balance on the Kruzer is automatic, manual or tracking.
