Minelab Pro Find 35 Review: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

There are quite a few other good channels that I watch, but I have found the above guys to be excellent for information on various machines and the techniques you need to be a successful Detectorist. I highly recommend that anyone interested in detecting should subscribe to all of these guys.

    Thanks for the honest review.I love my pro 35. No issues accessing the battery compartment at all. I have not had to replace the battery for well over 6 months now and I detect at least twice a week. I do however remove the battery when not in use. Good tip is to ground balance the pinpointer each time you turn it on, makes it even more effective and precise.

    Great video , I just got a 35 after 3 carrots and a XP. My only complaint is the lanyard ( so far)as I keep mine in a holster set up with my Lesche. I will keep an eye on your channel though as I do plan on finding the perfect pin pointer. You would think Minelab would have put a lot more thought into their pin pointer as they have such great detectors🤷🏻‍♂️anyway, keep they videos coming and thank you

    I was specifically scouring KZread this morning to find a video to remind me how to open the battery compartment on my minelab pro 35. I need to open it because due to an injury, I can't MD for a while and I need to remove the battery that's already been in there for 2 years. Thanks for letting me know that it's NOT me! I will now head to the garage for my channel locks. 😡 I also just bought n new "lanyard" (a real one). Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my pinpointer. Thanks for the review.

    The Garrett is the most popular out there. Does a good job, very reliable. The XP is pretty expensive and is a good choice if you have the Deus detector. You might try the Nokta Pulse Dive is also a great one to consider. It is less expensive than either of the other 2. Thanks for watching. Cheers.

I have the Garrett AT in which I love, but I wish it would just use the tip for the detection, maybe Garrett can add a button to switch to 360 or at the point. I am considering the White's TRX but right now having trouble finding them, everyone is out of stock.

I like your idea, I think that would make a great feature if it could be done. Whites went out of business as you may know. It looks like Garrett has bought the remainder of the company, so maybe they will keep the TRX in the line up, so it may come back in stock. Don’t know if any of those products will retain the Whites name or not. Cheers.

    Your video seems detailed and is what made me decide to go with this pin pointer. I’ve had mine for three weeks and it’s already failing. I’ve tried 6 different batteries today and none will even turn on the machine (yea they were installed properly). The original battery that came with it will turn it in but it shuts off as soon as it detects metal. The cap is very hard to get off and I have strong hands. There is very little use hours wise on this finder and it has never been submerged under water except for a faucet to rinse it off. The light is utterly useless and it’s ergonomics are not very good. The only thing it will do is raise and lower the volume. It also loses track of its target on a regular basis which makes detecting very hard. This is a very expensive product and has failed in about every way possible. I’m definitely going with something different. I’m finding out that Mine Lab products are not very good. My Equinox 800 and headphones will not pair no matter what I do (yes all products are fully charged). Didn’t even get a owner’s manual for the detector. This product and Mine Lab in general get a D- in my book. Glad to see yours works though.

    Try ground balancing the pinpointer before using it (makes a big difference).

    I bought the Pro-Find 35 with my NOX 600. On level 5 sensitivity it would start alerting like crazy just tilting the unit. It got worse and then started powering itself off. I sent it in to repair and they found the battery housing was cracked allowing water intrusion. So I got a brand new one from them today under warranty. It is even worse!!! From level 3-5 it will start chiming just tilting the darn thing. I'm emailing them and sending a video to see what the heck is going on. I have seen other similar complaints of the erratic behavior and the cracked housing. I'm looking for another brand.

I have been 99% convinced that I need to purchase the Minelab 800 with the 6" & the 15" coils and protectors. (Why... because when I do (eventually decide to do something) I overdo...well.... everything.🙄😏 After LOTS of researching and reading and watching videos because I will be detecting in many different location so the 800 seems to (so far) be my most intelligent choice. Many of the package 'deals' include the Pro-find 20 but for me it's all or nothing. Actually I have been researching me purchasing a metal detector (and wand, shovel, etc.,etc., etc.😳 for longer than most metal detector hunters have been in the 'field(s)' metal detecting 🙄😏...as it (to me) is a BIG decision because spending 1500 or more dollars on anything is....well..a big decision (again..."for me"😌). Since watching (& listening to) your very UNbiased video I am (AGAIN🙄lol) UN(🙄🤣lol)...UNdecided about the Pro-find 35. Since I believe you have much..MUCH greater knowledge pertaining to all of this than I believe I'll EVER have would you please let me know what YOU would purchase. If you think the 800 is NOT my best choice please let me know that too...and why would also be very helpful. (For the pinpointer & the detector. Thank you very much Apologies for rambling.

    Lol. 😂 But then she’d have to come with me on all my hunts! I don’t think she’ll go for that. I think I’ll just throw some channel locks in my ruck sack. Cheers.

    Silicone grease, if it works on SCUBA Regulators and it does, it works on Pinpointers. I use it on my Garret Carrot... Im getting a 35 so I can do a review. Look for my Kitchen Sink Test.... Mind Blowing.

    Minelab was kind enough to replace my Pro 35 due to a cracked case even though it was a bit out of warranty. I don’t have any issue opening the battery compartment. It opens easy for me, even at 70 years old. Perhaps you need some hand strengthens exercises, Hahaha. I have so many expensive items that take AA and AAA batteries it’s down right depressing. Alkaline batteries are antiquated and darn right dangerous for expensive electronics. They leak and destroy anything that you forget to take batteries out of. Never have I had a leak in a 9V battery. A plus for 9V batteries. As a firefighter, there is a reason that some smoke detectors still use 9Vs. The majority of my AA and AAA electronics I’ve replaced the alkaline batteries with NiMh however not all electronics will operate at a slightly lower voltage. I find that the unit is balanced just right for me. It fits in my finds holster just fine. I may take your recommendation of upgrading to an actual lanyard though. Thanks for that tip. Now we’ve just boosted your overall rating to A- in my book. Cheers and thanks for the video.
