Minelab Go-Find 60 Review - Hands on review by Mike Jones
Posted by Mike Jones on
When I first started working at Jacob's I decided to try my hand at metal detecting. Jacob's sell a wide range of detectors, but by and large, our most popular seller is the Minelab Go-Find 60 for entry-level users. I had heard of Minelab previously but as a beginner was not fussed about the brand and was mainly looking at how easy it was to use.

Nikon P900 The Superking Superzoom review
Posted by Austin Carl Mason on
Comparing this to a spotting scope, it seems kind of silly to not go for this camera as you get the benefits of video recording and an auto focus system, of course there is the battery life to consider but above that this would out-perform any spotting scope in its price range just with the capabilities to record HD video as well take photos of objects you'd need something that requires a telescope or spotting scope to see.
