I am looking on purchasing a new better detector than my BH, I would like to buy a Minelab Xterra, My question is, should i go with the 505 or 705, i am mostly hunting old homesteads looking for old coing, jewerley or whatever is left behind, i have looked at the side by side comparisons on Kellyco's website, biggest differences are the illuminated backlit display, auto ground balancing, it says the depth is maximized with the 705 but do you really think the depth will be any different when using the same frequency coils on either machine? How hard is it to get use to ground balancing? My Bh has auto and manual, The 705 is 150 bucks more than the 505, i can live without the light up display but dont want to sacrifice much depth if any with the smaller detector, Any advice is very much appreciated, Thanks, Sam
