Always a great ride along. Thanks for the honest opinion of the machine and for taking the time to check out different products.
Have used this device for quite a few hours and like you, I found it sometimes twitchy with some light impacts ...even hitting a dandelion ...giving false indications. Once you master it's quirks it can be a bit of fun and it is very portable.
I'm glad you guys keep the trash and get rid of the dangerous stuff off the beach and land!!
Thank you. I look forward to seeing the next video.
Glad you're back. Stay with Garrett. Ha!
Yes iv bought one second hand fir $80 . It works great . Very sensitive on 3 . Works much better on 1 or 2 . I find it easier than my Xterra 305 . Turn on and go plus it’s small and lightweight fold up design is excellent .
I have the same metal detector and it works really good, also does great deep!
Nice to see you back on the beach again. I enjoyed the sounds of the wind and the surf !!!
Oh yes! I've thought about sitting the camera on the sand near the water line and just record a few minutes of wave sounds and the waves washing over the camera. :) Something to warm up your northerners. Hahaha!
Thanks for sharing she detector.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you!Very good video!😃😃
Cute little machine
Im thinking of buying my first detector and that one is definitely not going to be the one for me. Thanks for all your reviews it’s helpful In determining my perches.
Oh good! Yea, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are on a budget. Well thank you for watching! :D Good luck picking a machine. :D A ton to pick from.
Good job, looks like you know what you,r doing,, Happy hunting👍👍😁❤
Good luck on the new job
great video, keep up the good work and happy hunting
Cool your channel liked it although I do not understand any English.Parabens you gained one more incrito in your channel. I bought the go find 22 and I will also start to make detectorism.
Nice video, shows it in action and you have good personality. Word to those thinking of buying this, the Go-Find looks so cool but it's a piece of crap. If you want to buy a cheap detector that detects well look at the tesoro compadre, they're like $100 and come with a lifetime warranty - you'll almost NEVER get false signals. If you want something a little nicer look at Teknetics patriot (around $350 or $300 used) or the equinox. ($700-900)
Recently purchased two Go-Find 11 from KellyCo Metal detectors for my Great Niece and Nephew. I feel these will be perfect for their age & and 12 years old.
Mui bien 👏👏👏Muito bom 👏👏👏👏Sou do Brasil (Sergipe)muitas praias e tbem Amo(love)detectorismo😃😃😃
Very good! Successful finds!
hi your shoes look good for the water ..what do they call them and were do you get them please
Really great video. You're one of my favorite detectorist
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :)
thanks for the video She D
Thank you for watcing! :)
I have the 40 and would say if I walk over it in the dry then the 40 will tell me it's there. It's water proof up to 10 inches so the coil is fine in shallow water. As said before you need to turn the sensitivity down in the wet and look for solid green lights on the display panel ..... 2 lights or more then dig ! My machine has paid for itself in eighteen months, it is my first detector and has got me hooked on this great outdoor hobby. When I do upgrade to a more expensive detector I can assure you that I will not be trading in my go find as it's a great travel machine for your holidays or vacation as you say in America. Thank you She Detector.
Oh good! I've been curious what the differences are between the 20, 40 and 60. Well there's a difference, no lights on the 20. :( That's great that it's pulling it's weight for you. :) Oh yes, that's goood thinking. Having it for traveling is perfect! :D
I had a 40 and found a zippo and a pound coin first time out, it worked well on wet sand too. I had a whites m6 next, very good, but I ended up having too much gear to take out and ended up not going and recently sold it. Getting a go find 66 tomorrow so I can take it all the time , grab n go
Does work under sea ?
I love it
G'day, Mrs. Detector! (She Detector) Thumps up! Up North, here in the Great Lakes, it's showing 16ºF outside! Thank you kindly for (doing a hunt with the Minelab Go-Find 200 at the beach ) and braving the weather, before it rained!! Cheers! :-)🌟😊💨
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :) 16 degrees? Yikes! Hahaha, no problem! I would have stayed out had I had a waterproof machine. There wasn't any lighting so it was safe! :D
Your welcome, She Detector! Yeah! Interesting, (believe it, or not) now it's 26 degrees outside, 10 degrees higher! Very nice to hear, there wasn't any lighting outside to be worrying about, and everything was really fine. Hope you'll find, some good opportunities, to make use of your newest machine (XP Deus) outside at the beach!! Have a wonderful weekend! Thank you!
Cheers! :D😊⛵️❤️
NICE DETECTOR .... NICE SMLE ...! KEEP GOING ....
Well that turned out to be a disappointing day! Atleast you found a penny😉! Very nice video w/ gr8 content & info! Loved it, shawn!
Hahaha, you're telling me. At least you only watched it, I lived it! Hahahaha! Yes, the penny made me smile at least a bit. Thank you for watching!
She Detector of course sweetie. Love your show! Turned my dad onto your channel he loves it! He's not a commenter but he enjoys to watch! Take good care hun, shawn!
I have got a go find 60 which I do like but was no good for the wet sand and had a lot of false finds but is great for parks. Thanks for you video 😀
Oh yea? I was curious about how the 40 and 60 performed at the beach. Thank you for watching!
Any chance you might be able to try out a Minelab go find 60? i think thats the highest number in this machine.the 60.
great video
Do headphones work on this model......????
I have a tip for the go-find 20. Don't use the discrimination. It makes locating targets really tricky. When I used all metal it became easier. It is a 2-tone machine so you'll have no trouble differentiating. I found a 17th century Swedish silver with it, so it does work. Just be slow and patient.
Good tip! That could probably help. No way! That's incredible. :)
I'll stick with my $44.00 Barska Winbest Pro, I bought at Menards, it works great for me, I found a penny at ten inches deep about six feet from the water but still in wet sand!
You saved a foot today :D thanks for digging out the glass. Yup VLF and minerals ghost signals. Some detectorists can fine tune and even discriminate with VLF. I am too lazy, I like PI and just dig everything. Your do for a good hit soon I am sure :).
Oh yes! I still can't believe all that glass hiding there. :( Lol! Yea, it's easier that way and you know for sure you won't miss anything. :D Lol! Right you are. Not a single ring for 2017. Hopefully 2018 will be my year! :D
Good job on your vido.
Hola Miss She Detector ♥️
Hi SD, I would love to see you do a review of the Minelab Equinox. Just released and not many reviews yet. Again love your work and friendly style. Cheers
I'll see about getting my hands on one don't I know they are a hot item so no telling if I can work that out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for cleaning up all that glass
DD coil are better or centrical coils, that coil seems to be a failure!
hehehe, the rain saved you from the Find 20. great video.
Lol! Thank you.
yea monday i got phamptom signals too, i lowed my sens also but i think that maybe this time of year there is lot of mineralsation in the sand.. ??????? whats you opinion??
Yea? Hum, you could be right. Maybe the seasons change the mineralization. It's true that during the summer and winter the beaches get sanded in or washed clean because of the changing tides. Higher tides in winter I think it is so maybe winter brings more sand and minerals.
Aluminum flakes are all over the beach.
My White's VX3 pinpoints little fragments to 6 inches.
You can find them with a plastic scoop.
Those little signals could be your next diamond stud earrings. LOL.
Oh yea, you're right about that. I've got a plastic shovel as it so happens. :D
Great review video. thanks for sharing. HH
Good going on cleaning up the glass. Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate because I would have liked to see the value of the GoFind 20. Next time maybe. See you on the next demo.
Oh yes! Yea, I'll be getting out this weekend with it hopefully so I'll get to do some more testing and such. :D Thanks for watching.
I found a National Geographic model used slightly, got it for $75 and came with a small digging shovel and a handheld scoop both made from composite sturdy material. Also got the manual and another brochure. So far just tested with various targets I threw and it seems to work well. The coil targets seem to line up with the outer edges of the coil. But it was very cheap... I can’t wait to get it out in the sand or to the park.
Wow really? I didn't know there was a Nat Geo model. :) But very cool! Yea, you'll have to let me know how it works out for you. :)
She Detector
I will when I get a chance. Both last weekend and this, lots of rain in Los Angeles so I’m home bound until the rain clears.
great video, mine lab products are pretty nice and most are pricey. id love to be digging up oak island with gary drayton and his cadillac detector.but this detector seems god for novice. keep up the nice vids for sure
Thank you! Oh yea that would be awesome. But I've had enough of their games! They need to hurry up and get to digging!
She Detector well they have bored enough holes in oak island to sink it so gotta be treasure soon. I've watched every show for five years!! I'm getting impatient too lol
I watched for the beach lol. How about Equinox next? ATB
I like your videos. Wish I had time to hunt.
Well now you have time under lockdown
The detector your using doesn't do so well on wet sand and will give u faulse signal's. Overall it is a good detector. 😁
Good information. Do you think you can get the GoFind 40 for an evaluation? I'd love to see if it's worth the investment. Thanks for the video!
I'm sure I could try out the 40. It'll have to wait a bit though so I can finish testing the Impact, and start with the Makro and Deus. :) Thanks for watching.
Wonder if the Go Find 40 or 60 is water proof?
Neither of them is completely submersible. Only the coils are waterproof.
Queen of the watermelons ...... You are the best
I watched a lot of reviews, mostly of the 40 and 60 and you do seem to have more problems than they do in the other videos. Not sure if it's the 20. I think it would be a fun machine because you can go hiking or biking into areas you might not normally search.
Yea? Hum, that's strange. I agreed with you that's it's perfect to pack for hiking and such. Fits in a backpack for biking or kayaking also.
cute toy,,,,,,,ty for your time
Hahahahaha! Thank you and thanks for watching!
I had trouble getting into your video. The button was covered in RUST.
Lol!

Entry level machine for kids. The 40 is better but you still get what you paid for.
They all collapse too easily, so its just the design.
When going near salty water, its recommended to lower sensitivity down to reduce false signals.
They don't have great depth, generally the size of the coil, so that can help in identifying a target from a ghost signal. (depends on size of target)
They are a frustrating machine, especially for us that use the best machines available, but I found it challenging when I tried it out, and figured if I expect the kids to find anything with it, then I should be able to.
After a while, its not too bad, and for its price, I would rather swing it than generic ebay detectors.
And yes, the timing is slower on these, so a slow swing is important, to reduce false signals.
Good luck on your next outing.
Agreed. :) Yea, I'm not sure what the differences are between the 20, 40 and 60 but like you said, you get what you pay for. Yea, when you go from something like the Excal, the go-find is a bit upsetting. :) Hahaha, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Yea, that's a good point. Thanks!
Will be good to see you demo the Minelab Equinox 800. I think you will like that detector very much and it might become your new go to machine. It is great on gold chains in salt water too.

Salut le detecteur a du mal sur la plage? Merci pour la video" )
Richard detect pour detecter sur les sols mineralisés comme la plage humide faut acheter un detecteur bien plus cher que celui-ci. Ce detecteur n’est qu’un gadget. Il est bien joli mais ne vaut rien en detection
Oh oui, il luttait en fait. Merci d'avoir regardé!
It's always fun to watch your channel. I have watched a few videos on the GO-FIND and one of the said to pull the lower extension out first until it locks into place then adjust the upper part. If your machine is a floor model, maybe the locking mechanism is Rembrandted, meaning BAROQUE. I mean broken. LOL
Well thank you! :D Hum, I'll have to try that out this weekend and see if that works. Lol! I like that! Hahahahaha.
.SUCESSO sempre parabéns SUCESS...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
.Deixando aquele GIGA LIKEEE 👍🏼
.ABRAÇOS DO CANAL :BRASIL AVENTURA DETECTORISMO 🇧🇷💍💍💍
Olá bom trabalho
You needed and Axe dear. That would force that palm tree to give up its treasures. If you tied enough lead to that go find it may make a good anchor.
Hahaha, yea but the rangers might not have liked me hacking their trees with axes. Lol! Not to mention I'm sure someone would call the cops and tell them theirs a crazy lady, talking to herself, and walking around with an axe. Lol!
That detector is not filling me with confidence.
i dont know baby,, i like your swing,,,lol lol
I had that detector as a backup last year and promptly sold it. Just didn't work out for me.
Hahaha, I can understand why. I don't like the coil as I find it difficult to locate the targets.
I had the same problem
ive watched both your videos on the gofind digging canuck and shedetector and i have to say that i think theres a great injustice given to it by both parties and would blame operator error for even the lightest research of the gofind will tell you to disc iron and turn the sens down a notch theres plenty of good content for all the gofind models and i think there s great starting point for anyone i own the 40 and i can say that the shape of the coil is super sensative is absolutely brilliant for xing a target you would be surprised how slow you can move over your target with a gofind and really hone in on its location
in full agreement with you. I have the GoFind 60 to be used as a travel detector and as a spare. It took about 1/2 an hour to get used to the detector. The coil is submersible and after a 1/2 hour I was able to pinpoint the target without the machine's pinpointer. The machine's pinpointer is as good as the one on my AT Pro. It's a great machine and this video did not do the GoFind any justice.
are you an your husband going to the garrett hunt i march
No. I've got to work. :(
if you own a Deus why would you bother with this there both light and compact but why drive kia when you own BMW just saying
👍👍👌
She, I have a friend that has the Go-Find 20 by Minelab, he is already disappointed with it, to many false signals.
Ah yea, sorry to hear that. At the beach you really have to play with the sens to keep it from falsing. But it's also not waterproof which makes water hunting a bit difficult.
your sweep was to fast
Either your settings are not correct or that Minelab product is junk. I though Minelab made quality detectors.
Navy Dave Minelab does make quality detectors but you have to look for their hi-end products. These go-find detectors are very low cost models imo just to make more people buy their products. Cheap alternatif and very portable. At first I wanted to buy a go-find 60 because you can put it in your backpack and quickly unfold it but I ended up buying a Garrett AT pro because it was a way better detector for the price.
Hahaha, well it's an entry level machine and it's noticable in the price ($150). But it could just take time for me to learn it more. I'll be taking it out this weekend again and do some more hunting/testing. :)
Nice. One decent dry sand find with that machine and it's paid for. lol Nice video.
That metal detector sucks wth
Go back and check out that root ball
I've thought about it. I was able to see the piece of metal but honestly, it looked like angle iron or something. It was flat and smooth and went down into the ground. I was wondering if it was something to stabilize the tree when it was first planted.
She Detector
You're probably right , but check all the other palms in the area to see if they have the same thing going on .
Found some change .95 to be exact and some typical beach trash the last few times out . There's this small beach that was and still might be called nudie beach but there's less of that and more couples and families going there now . It takes some effort to get down to it and I was happy to find that the competition hasn't hit it yet or if they did it was a while ago . Also found a smartphone and sent it to the family of the 12 year old that lost a couple days before I found it . 4-5 more hours and that beach will be done .
Looking at that Minelab Equinox 800 , that thing will like the beach a lot better than the Whites MX Sport . Good luck out there and find something awesome , God bless
Finding a metal detector using a metal detector....that would be something
Hahahaha, it sure would!
Well, I thought it might do better in the sand , easier digging. But the auto balance and coil in the sand killed that thing. It boils down to the horrible coil. That thing would discourage ALL new detectorist. Fold it up and throw it away!
Yea, it was chattery for sure. I might have to agree with you. But they could get lucky since they don't have any habits really. They might swing slowly and dig everything so they could luck out and find all the goods. :D
70th comment!!!!
It looks like Iron is the only thing it can find
And pennies! Don't forget the pennies. Lol!
Yeah that's not a good machine. :(
Not a very reliable machine.
creo que ese detector no es tan bueno
It's not the top of my list that's for sure. :)
god
Going from bounty hunters and garret aces to the minelab would trigger me so much.
Lol! I know what you mean. It's hard to go from brand to brand but I get to see what each brand has to offer. So that's nice. :)
U sweep.way to fast
Seriously... Slow down on the swing. It would help you out a lot
Those go-find are shockingly bad ,they are at most a kids toy
Gary,,, I have the go-find 40,and it is a great little machine,,I don't think this video does the go-find series any justice,,they are inexpensive,very portable,light,and i don't know why she was having so much trouble,,!!(I didn't see the pinpoint being used on it!!)
Dedector bad
nice video! hope for mutual subscription
Thank you and thanks for watching! I'll check out your videos for sure!
I think it's quite an ugly looking machine. Thanks for the video though.
Lol! Thanks for watching. :)
This machine is a toy for kids.
You do not need to put sand back on 😅especially wet sand.thsts gonna get re sorted on high tide
