Minelab Go-Find 66 metal detector

Top Go-Find — backlit display and full preset modes

The Minelab Go-Find 66 is the top Go-Find with a backlit display, preset hunt modes, and the most capability in the beginner-focused line. It gives new hunters room to grow without jumping into complex multi-frequency machines. Minelab designed it for enthusiastic beginners and casual hunters who want a fuller feature set on a budget. Larger parks, lake beaches, and permission lawns let the 66 show what a tuned beginner machine can find.
