Minelab go find 66???

Considering getting one of these for my fiance to hunt dru and wet sand with, shes very small and doesn't have alot of upper body strength to lug a heavy detector around, I was curious on yalls thoughts about it and any possible secondary choices I could look at for her to use that wont break the bank account as I expect she wont become and avid addict like the rest of us but I'd like to at least try.

It should work pretty good on the dry sand but not what one would call good on the wet salt water beach sand. Too many minerals in the salt water.

Might I suggest a Equinox 600. Its a much better detector and will hold more of its value if she totally quits detecting and you want to sell it.
+, I mean, she's The One so she deserves a better machine.....

I have the go find 60. It’s a great entry level detector and amazingly it does work pretty well in the wet sand. I got it for my kids to use and in the wet sand at Myrtle beach I found a dime signal showing 7 inches. The go find also heard the signal well and it was indeed a dime at 7”. It is basically V flex technology which works on wet sand pretty well. I have and love the equinox 800 but if she’s only going to be using it casually I’d say the Go find would be a great choice for her. Light, super simple and will work great in the dry sand and better in the wet than most cold machines. Also with the Bluetooth she could have wireless headphones. Good luck. Let us know what you decide and how it works out.

Thanks for the information, I've looked in to the noxs as well but I think it would be to complicated for her shes not overly tech savvy. But I looked into for myself as well but seeing as I already have a Excal2 a older BHID, an old tesoro compadre and a tracker 4 I gave to my dad that he used to find water meter covers for his work. All of those are to heavy for her which keeps her from enjoying the hobby. But we shall dwell on the nox some more weigh the pros and cons.

Involve her as much as possible. This is somewhat similar to buying a pistol for a special someone- the more involved they are, the more they take to it. Get what she likes even if you know its not whats best for her. HH!
