I have the go find 66, I never did use the app on it, only used the metal detector itself, far as im concerned it IS more than capable of finding expensive rings and other jewelry, to date ive found EXACTLY 41 different types of jewelry with the go find 66, most them being rings of various types, few necklaces broaches ect. Plus it finds coins very well, fortunately here in australia we are blessed to have the australian $1 and $2 gold coloured coins and we find many of them *EVIL GRIN* :)

Can this find gold

@random4969 3 жыл бұрын

@@doindatstuff3588 Yes as most gold in jewelry already contains various metals so that's why gold jewelry is easily found at beaches. bt if your asking if it can find pure gold nuggets than I'm not sure, experts wld say no, bt I've heard even basic cheaper detectors can pick up gold nuggets. So to be 100 percent sure you should research it more on Google or KZfaq

@@doindatstuff3588 Sure, if the gold is big enough 🙂 my Xtera has a "gold finding" coil, but in reality, anything under the size of a 10mm gold nugget is going to be hard to locate with a unit in this class, unless its close, or on the surface. I'm sure there is detectors out there these days that can do better. These machines like coin size items, but sometimes, just sometimes . . You can find items more valuable that gold 😉

It's great for beach detecting, even water, as no ground balancing required just reduce sensitivity. The bluetooth helps to give some indication of which coinage is picked up. But I noticed a distinct wobble in shaft when sweeping which I found annoying. So I attached an L-shaped metal brace between handle and shaft, with velcro. It works a treat and velcro straps can be removed in order to fold up detector. Now if Minelab had used carbon fibre shaft.......................!!!
