MINELAB metal detector GO-FIND 44 — ultra-light beginner detector with 10-inch waterproof coil and Bluetooth-ready

The MINELAB GO-FIND 44 is an ultra-light, beginner-friendly metal detector with a 10" waterproof coil, simple treasure-identification LEDs, Pinpoint mode and Bluetooth-ready connectivity.

Designed for people taking their first steps into hobby detecting, the GO-FIND 44 balances easy handling and smart features so you can spend more time searching and less time learning controls. At just over a kilogram, it collapses for travel, includes automatic ground tracking to reduce false signals, and uses clear Treasure View LEDs to separate likely trash from finds. Bluetooth compatibility and a free smartphone app let you log discoveries and get visual ID help while you explore shores, parks and fields.

How does the GO-FIND 44 make detecting simpler for beginners?

The control layout and feedback are built to reduce confusion for new users. Treasure View LEDs give instant visual guidance and three Find Modes cover common search situations without complicated tuning.

• Five visible LEDs indicate likely trash or treasure for quick decisions.
• Three pre-set Find Modes suit general, coin and relic searches.
• Pinpoint mode narrows targets so you dig less and recover items faster.
• Easy, no-tool setup and folding design for immediate use out of the box.

What performance can I expect from the 10" waterproof coil?

The hard-wired 10" coil balances sensitivity and coverage ideal for beginners exploring beaches, shallow water and parks. Waterproofing to about two feet enables safe use along shorelines and in puddles without electronics exposure.

• 10-inch coil offers good depth for coins and small relics while keeping target separation manageable.
• Waterproof coil design supports shoreline and shallow-water detecting.
• V-FLEX technology improves control and target response over varied ground.
• Pinpoint mode works with the coil to reduce digging and speed recoveries.

How does ground tracking and Pinpoint mode improve accuracy?

Automatic ground-tracking continuously adjusts the detector to local mineralization, cutting background noise so true targets stand out. Pinpoint mode then focuses the response to a very small area, helping you locate the exact position of an object.

• Easy-Trak auto ground-tracking reduces false signals from mineralized soil.
• Pinpoint delivers a precise audio/LED response for minimal digging.
• Combined, they increase confidence in identifying and extracting targets.

What connectivity and logging features are available with the detector?

The GO-FIND 44 is Bluetooth-ready for wireless headphones and connects to MINELAB's free GO-FIND app to help you identify common coins, mark find locations and keep a searchable record of your outings.

• Bluetooth audio support for hands-free listening while detecting.
• Free smartphone app for image-based coin ID and mapping finds with Google Maps.
• Save notes and photos of discoveries directly to your phone for easy trip records.

Who is this for? The MINELAB GO-FIND 44 is aimed at adults and teens who want a straightforward, portable detector with reliable features—people who want to learn quickly, travel with their detector, and get into shoreline, park, and general coin-and-relic detecting without a steep learning curve. It suits hobbyists prioritizing ease of use, light weight and useful digital extras like app logging and Bluetooth audio.
