The Minelab Pro-Find Lineup
Minelab's Pro-Find series climbs cleanly from entry to flagship. The Pro-Find 40 is the top model: Minelab's deepest and most accurate pinpointer, with Ferrous Tone ID, five sensitivity levels, rapid retune, a lost alarm, and full waterproofing to 10 feet — the choice for serious and water hunters. The Pro-Find 35 brings the same 10-foot waterproofing and Ferrous Tone ID with audio and vibration at a lower price. The Pro-Find 20 is a splash-proof land pinpointer with audio and vibration, and the Pro-Find 15 is the simple, affordable entry model — splash-proof with audio alerts. Every Pro-Find includes Minelab's DIF technology and a handy lost alarm, and several come in money-saving bundles.
Which Pro-Find Is Right for You?
Two questions decide it: do you need waterproofing, and do you want Ferrous Tone ID? If you hunt the beach or wet ground and want to tell iron from treasure in the hole, the waterproof Pro-Find 40 (or the more affordable Pro-Find 35) is the pick. If you hunt dry land on a budget, the splash-proof Pro-Find 20 adds vibration, while the Pro-Find 15 covers the basics for the lowest price. Note the line: the 40 and 35 are fully waterproof to 10 feet; the 20 and 15 are splash-proof and shouldn't be submerged.
Minelab Pinpointer FAQs
Which Minelab pinpointers are waterproof?
The Pro-Find 40 and Pro-Find 35 are fully waterproof and submersible to 10 feet (3 m), ideal for beach and river hunting. The Pro-Find 20 and Pro-Find 15 are splash-proof for rain and damp conditions but should not be submerged.
What is Ferrous Tone ID?
Ferrous Tone ID is a Minelab feature on the Pro-Find 35 and 40 that gives two different audio responses so you can tell ferrous (iron) junk from non-ferrous targets like coins and jewelry — especially useful when running a non-discriminating detector.
What's the difference between the Pro-Find 40 and Pro-Find 35?
Both are waterproof to 10 feet with Ferrous Tone ID and five sensitivity levels. The Pro-Find 40 is Minelab's deepest, most accurate pinpointer with refined circuitry for about 10% more depth; the Pro-Find 35 delivers the core waterproof, Ferrous-Tone-ID experience at a lower price.
