Hi Mike;

Your spot on with a lot of your assessments, and for the $$ seems like it will match up very well in the mid-range detector area... As a matter of... I'm heavily leaning towards and just about ready to pull the trigger on one....Thought for a minute about the new minelab pro-find 60 ?? ( I think ).. Really like the way it folds up in a neat package ( perfect for transporting in a carry-on )...

Would like to hear from a dealer who has them side-by-side and give em a quick spin in a test garden just to see................

Anyway, I'll have something new in a few weeks..

I'm in the same boat. Trying to get a lightweight, easy to use, but not easy to outgrow machine that my wife can use and that I can also play with. I'm leaning towards the F44, but was also interested in the Go-Find 60.....but so far the videos I'm seeing on the ML's are very enticing. I'm trying to wait until more of them get into the hands of normal users before I decide which one to get, but given that the F44 has a wide variety of coils available, among other nice features, I'm heavily leaning in that direction at the moment.

If the detector has ground tracking, tracking needs to be turned off (Locked) when air testing.
It is not right to leave the coins within the magnetic field of the coil after testing, because the influence the magnetic field of the coil and block depth of the next coin.
If the table the coil is placed on has some screws in it it will block depth of the tested coins too.
If his belt buckle is next to the coil while testing it blocks the depth of the tested coins.

I believe his ground tests are true, but his air tests are probably done wrong.

F44 does not have tracking. It has notification of it being off like Omega.
