Opened the 705 on christmas, since then this is what ive found

[goldnrelics]

What a difference. you get what you pay for i went over wayyy over hunted school grounds, even with someone with a mxt..

Bought it in October, Saved it for Christmas. So this is 8 days of finds, and probably went out 4 times. this is going to be a good year

Congrats on your new machine! Looks like you've been doing pretty well with it!

 

[Longhair]

I don't know how you could leave it alone for nearly three months!

Congrats on the new machine! IMO the 705 is the best kept secret in detecting.

 

[swcda]

Well Done!

I would agree with you Longhair. I love my 705!

[pescadore]

Nice Haul !! The 705 is a great machine, no way I could have kept my hands off of it for that long !!!

 

[Fletch88]

He has major self control is all I can say. I might of had to re-wrap it Christmas Eve!

 

[Mach1Pilot]

Neat, I have a similar story, got about the same pile of coins and junk from around my house, I broke open an X-terra 705 on Christmas eve day, I can not believe how quick the learning curve as been, love the machine and glad I went with it.

Been Reading about the 705 and now I want one!!

 

[goldnrelics]

It was well worth the wait. In the meantime I used a decent Tesoro. but it does not compare, best machine I've had.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the X-Terra 705. It's a great detector.

I can't wait there's a 705 on its way to me as I type this, big thanks to Keith @ fortbedford detectors he is a good guy & definetpy puts forth more effort then he should, thanks & I can't wait ill let you guys know how it goes down I got a pretty good spot I bring all machines to & everytime I bring one the spot comes back to life after cleaning it out with each machine to date at this 1 spot I have used there the Atpro with both coils,the v3i with 5 different coils, & the deus xp with the 9" & the 13". I got a good feeling with the 705

I got the 6" coiltek for christmas dont know where it came from but its one of the vendors here

recomended, also got a 17.5 6" .. haven't used the factory one yet

been finding so much stuff i dont even feel like posting it all. another ring, pounds of coins.......... need to find a new cw spot but it hits good on lead and copper

 

[christo000]

My new 705 should be here soon what would you guys,who use this,machine recommend for a next coil its coming with the 7.5 frequency concentric 10" coil, I'm more used to the sef coils & the dd coil never really used many concentric ones, I do a lot of detecting in the woods, parks,schools really anywhere I can for anything I was thinking on the dd coil either 6" or the 9" I believe

3khz coiltek 6" DD is goood. lots of options out there . cant wait to take it to the gold field

 

[christo000]

K thanks,I really,been hearing lots of good on that 6" dd I read & downloaded the xterra book from the minelabe sight its a good read & it makes lots of sence on the part of coil choices, no gold fields where I am bummer lol

 

[Longhair]

Actually the standard stock coil is a 9" concentric. The Minelab DD coils for the Xterra are 5x10",10.5", and 6" HF, and 10.5" MF. Coiltek makes 15" DD coils in all three frequencies, as well as a 6" DD LF.
NO OTHER COILS ARE AUTHORIZED BY MINELAB!
Any other aftermarket coils are produced with less than accurate spec's obtained by means of reverse engineering (pirated technology), and should be avoided. DON'T REWARD THIEVES!!

As far as what you might want next....I would refer you to the four part blog article that Randy Horton wrote.

you will love the Xterra. I tried a few coils. The 9" 3 hz coil seemed to find coins a bit deeper than the stock, but not enough to make much difference. The 10 dd was a bit too heavy for me, so I did some trades and ended up with the 6 inch which is a good utility coil for trashy areas.
