Ah, that looks like the machine that Willems posted in this thread:

I guess Minelab was missing out on all that entry level business, losing sales to Bounty Hunter, Garrett, Whites, etc.
And those entry level machines is a HUGE business these days.Quote:

it does not surprise me the whites coinmaster was the best on the test , ive always said its a magic stick when it comes to depth,i once found a Vermont state copper with mine at 15inches !!!Quote:

Minelabs do not do good in air test but on the ground they can go deep. E-tacs air test is weak but in the ground look out.
I just bought the Go Find 20 for my 7 year old son. I paid $95.00 and free shipping (brand new!!). I liked it from the standpoint of being very compact, (without taking apart), very light 2.2 pounds, and simple display for a youngster to get an idea of what is hidden. When he gets older and still enjoys the hobby, I will then go the X-Terra series, and eventually to the Etrac. I will try and keep posted to the performance, etc.
Just received the Go Find 20 today! I will have to be honest here, it is not a bad little unit, especially for an up and coming youngster. The display is very nice, and he likes the way things flash when a signal is detected. Getting use to the pinpointing or lets say location of the target within the square coil will be a learning curve for him, but he gets the idea. Will keep posted as to depth on certain items!! But very light weight, batteries are in a good location, and very well balanced, and very adjustable for pretty much any height, within reason. For a turn on a run unit and the $95.00 price tag and free shiping, not bad at all..
HH and keep your coils to the soil..
I bought the 40 last year for my kids. The machine did an honest air test of 10 inches on a quarter. Unfortunately, the kids never really got into digging so I don't know what real life results are.
I bought a Minelab GoFind 60 for my wife. With all the bells and whistles, it's hard to beat for a $300.00 machine!
My boys 9yo and 5yo love my go find 60 it was so easy for the i went and bought a xterra 705 for myself. We didnt even leave the side yard yet. Me and the oldest have big plans this year. I dug a aluminum can at about 20 inches with the go find 60. I seems pretty powerful once it is aimed at the ground !!
