I recently purchased a Minelab Exterra Gold. I had been using a Fisher F5 for some time. I have noticed that the Fisher was a beep machine and that the Minelab sounds actually are more descriptive of the target. Are there other things that I should know about Minelab that are different than what I was swinging before? Thanks!

I own a Minlab 705 detector, and it is very hard for me to learn how to use it. Read the directions very carefully and do a lot of training and learning. Good luck and good hunting.
