Is Nobody Using A Profind 40?

I did a major equipment upgrade this summer. As part of that, I sold my Pro Find 35 and bought a 40.

That's the review I've been waiting for, thanks, so it's basically what the 35 should have been.  Sounds really good in-fact, they have resolved the things that made me dislike the 35 and what's left is a really good pinpointer.  With pinpointers hitting a wall too is seems like if you've got a good one of any of the big brands you're happy with there is little point experimenting with any others unless you're going from VLF to PI or vice versa.

I'll give it a miss for now but it's good to hear it's now a good unit, and may get one to replace my 35 at some point as I'm unlikely to ever use it again.

I've used mine in the field and yes I like it. A lot! I didn't have any full batteries left at that point if the day so I could film it. I am planning to film live digs using it. That will be some time soon

I think people have been scared off by the 35, and rightly so, I still often wake up in sweats after nightmares in the middle of the night over my experience with it.   Combine that with Minelab's recent history of poor quality and it doesn't seem a good option.

Hopefully someone has marbles made out of titanium and is willing to give one a shot, as on paper and if true they've fixed the various issues the 35 had then it would be a good pinpointer.

They need to do a trade in program for the 35 owners, if they gave me a 25% discount if I handed in my 35, I'd take it. (I'm shooting for the stars there, they could drive me down to 5%)

Then they could put all the gathered up 35's in a big pile and burn them and put the video on YouTube, it would go viral, their most watched video.
