It collapses to 21.9 inches for backpack transport, extends to 51.4 inches for sweeping, and ships with a hard-wired 8\" coil waterproof to 1 m (3.3 ft). Two find modes, a 3-level depth indicator, and two-tone audio cover the core of what a first-time detectorist needs. For parents comparing this against toy detectors or no-brand beginner machines: the Go-Find 22 is a genuine Minelab detector with genuine signal discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Go-find-22_Lifestyle_2021-085.webp?v=1778686819\" alt=\"Minelab Go-Find 22 metal detector in outdoor lifestyle setting\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Go-Find 22 Gives You Over a Toy Detector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo find modes with real discrimination.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reject Iron mode silences ferrous targets so you skip bottle caps and pull tabs.

At 8 kHz, the Go-Find 22 is tuned for coins, jewelry, and the non-ferrous targets most common in parks and shorelines.
