hey s b ,I am looking for a detector that i can afford as a pensiuoner to teach my grandkids the basics .A garret 250 worth $450 is a bit high compared to $200 for a go-find . If the kids stay with it i will buy them a good one .Smoky bandit said:Hey fred...i have used the go find 20..and must say i was impresed.....just turn on and go....perfect for kids /adults ect....i usually use a xterra 705....but i kept going back to the go find when i was serching the beach....penetrates deeper than i expected...perfect for coins on the beach....im sure the 40 would impress even more
If the grandkids use it enough to wear out the coil i will give them my back up 705 cos they be hooked .No offence to 705 owners but cant tell ya my favorite detector u just laughGoldpick said:Probably one of the worst things about it is the mono coil, non interchangable (what happens when it wears out?), and reasonably hard to pinpoint with compared to a concentric or DD. It's not the deepest detector in the world, though what beginners detectors are. Aside from that, you don't really want the little tackers digging two foot holes in parks, so not really a concern.
As it is intended for some beach use, it does have auto tracking to salt, something lacking from many detectors at the same price point, not to mention a backlit screen on the more expensive models.
I think the Go-Find series has had a bit of a rough trot considering most reviews and opinions have been from more experienced detectorists that probably expected a bit too much, when the market wasn't really intended to be aimed at them. If I was still a kid looking to try out detecting, I certainly wouldn't pass one up.
Thanks a lot Jamie , Im not sure when i heading that way but will keep it in mindjamie said:old fred, if you are near Wollongong at all mate you are welcome to give my go find 40 a test run see what you think before spending coin on one

has any one had any luck with one of these on wet sand. mine always seems to act like its hitting targets every swing as soon as I hit wet sand.
Am I doing something wrong.
