Anyone own the Minelab Go Find 40 ?

Would like your opinion on it, thanks. Just starting to look , it folds up nice is what has me interested..will look it up but if you recall what they cost also. thanks. hh

I have the 60

I had a 60, untill it ID-ed every bottlecap with a High-tone.

Hence it came and it went!

A non issue for a relic hunter, a non issue for a kid enjoying himself at the beach,...
Had a Deus give me the same treatment and it went as well.
You don't want to be digging plug after plug in a parc and be presented with a steel crowncap.

Liked the build, liked the concept,... now stick an X-terra into the same package,... please!!

Yea kind of guessed was basic, it's the compact size that has me looking. I would use mainly in fields not groomed grass.
Some unit that fits in a back pack etc. The high end compact is not in my budget ok is but not interested because of my modern area. hh

I wanted a GoFind 60 for the wife, until I read the reviews and saw the youtube videos when it was released.

It's a dubious piece of various plastics that long-term I feel won't hold up.
No, you don't want this in your New X-Terra or whatever.
It pin points better than it detects.
Reason I got it was to Test it. That has been partially done.
The other reason is, there's this old wood beckoning to me since I was a kid as the back of
my Uncles house overlooked it across a small measure of a river. At an estuary end exactly.
It's a bit of a trudge to get in there and the plan is to hike in with the GF60 in a backpack.
That hasn't happened yet but will tell you if and when it does?

Yes the plastic was quite flexible,... pinpoint was better than disc.

It would fit beach hunting in pinpoint style. Get a signal, Check in disc.
Stick a magnet in the scoop for the bottlecaps. Dig anything that doesn't register a solid iron signal.
Lots of pocket knifes get overlooked because they sound like a shallow bottlecap.
