I see that Minelab has 3 new GO-FIND detectors out the , 22 , 44 ,and 66 .
Word is, Minelab beefed them up. Lots of reviews griped about build quality on these.
I am seriously considering one as a trunk detector.
Trunk detectors have a different job description. Its a headache carrying around a full size detector. If you leave it assembled, its large and in the way, and prone to damage. If you pack it unassembled, its going to be too much of a pain to bother in many instances. You also don't want to drop a lot of money on one, but you don't want a junky toy either.
Fine, as long as you don't leave it in the trunk. Extreme temps can damage a detector over time.
I realize that, thanks.
I had a cheap detector die on me once when I left it in the sun, in a hot closed car.
As a rule, trunks are cooler because the sunlight is reflected back, rather than thru the window to bake the detector, while the windows hold in the heat.
Its also not a good idea to leave a detector, cell phone, etc, lying out for the world to see.
