The Minelab GO-FIND 66 is a lightweight, ultra-portable metal detector with a 10-inch waterproof coil, earbuds, and a digging tool, aimed at hobbyists rather than professionals.

How it helps on the road

Not every item on a kit list is infrastructure. A slow trip across Canada is full of beaches, trails, and old townsites, and a packable metal detector turns a rest day into something to do. It collapses down for van storage and the waterproof coil handles wet sand and shoreline. We list it honestly as a hobby item — it makes the unhurried days more fun, which is part of why you travel slow in the first place.
