I tend to prefer White's and Minelab detectors. But it's been a few years since I've done any detecting and just recently came across a used X-Terra 305 at a decent price. I have a question concerning this current line of Minelab detectors however.
I've always held Minelab detectors up as the cream of the crop because of the FBS technology. They seemed to build their entire reputation on this advanced technology. So why is it that now they are selling a single frequency machine such as the X-Terra line and these detectors are performing very well. They seem pretty deep detecting and can detect what most of the FBS models detect. Are the single freq X-Terra's, especially the X-Terra 705? as good as the FBS detectors like the Explorer II ?!
