The Minelab PRO-FIND 40 is everything you want in a high-performance pinpointer: accurate, rugged, and easy to use straight out of the box. Minelab has really raised the bar with this one.
Pinpoint Accuracy
This pinpointer locks onto targets with incredible precision, significantly cutting down recovery time. Whether you’re working in loose soil, tight crevices, or under roots, the PRO-FIND 40 helps you zero in fast without damaging your finds.
Adjustable Sensitivity
It offers five sensitivity levels, which is perfect for fine-tuning performance based on soil conditions or target size. I’ve found this especially helpful when hunting in high-trash areas or mineralized ground where a less precise pinpointer would give too many false signals.
Waterproof & Durable
Fully waterproof up to 3 meters (10 feet), the PRO-FIND 40 is a solid choice for shallow water detecting. The rugged build gives me confidence it’ll survive bumps, drops, and rough field use without a hitch.
Audio & Vibration Alerts
The combination of audio tones and vibration (which increase in intensity as you get closer to the target) is brilliant. Great for underwater detecting or when you need to keep things discreet.
Ferrous Tone ID
A cool feature is its Ferrous Tone ID, which helps distinguish between trash and valuable finds before you even dig deeper. It’s not a full-on discrimination system like your main detector, but it’s a nice bonus to help with target identification.
Battery Life
Runs on a single 9V battery and easily lasts through multiple hunts. The auto-off feature helps preserve battery life if you forget to switch it off in the excitement of a good find.
Final Thoughts
The Minelab PRO-FIND 40 is a top-tier pinpointer that delivers reliable, fast, and smart target location in any environment. It’s built tough, works well with any detector, and adds real efficiency to your detecting setup.
Whether you’re just getting into metal detecting or already have years under your belt, this pinpointer is a worthy addition to your gear. Highly recommended.
