Minelab Go-Find 66 Review

Minelab Go-Find 66 Review product photo
Worth it for a new detectorist who wants the most capable Go-Find with Bluetooth-ready audio and four Find Modes; skip it if you plan to go deeper into the hobby, since some owners suggest stepping up to a Vanquish or Simplex instead.

Pros

  • Four Find Modes plus Pinpoint Mode and Easy-Trak automatic ground tracking
  • Ships with earbuds and a digging tool, and folds flat at 2.3 lbs (1.06 kg) with no assembly
  • Bluetooth ready, pairing with the free GO-FIND app for coin ID and Google Maps find-logging
  • 10-inch hard-wired coil rated waterproof up to 2 ft for shoreline and stream use

Cons

  • Owner reports describe it as an entry-level step, with some recommending a Minelab Vanquish, Nokta Simplex, or Nokta Score instead for more capability
  • One owner described the build feeling cheap after Minelab updated sensitivity and discrimination on the 22, 44, and 66 Go-Finds
  • Positioned as a beginner detector, not aimed at serious relic or coin hunters
