Thanks for the replies. Loco, I haven't been able to get out much this year as I am working a lot and the weather still hasn't settled down here. One day nice, the next snow. I hope to be going full bore again by April. As far as the 705 is concerned I am liking it. It is a new language for me after having used Fishers. But I am catching on. With the Minelab I am seeing that the sounds are just as important as the target ID. When I found the earrings I was getting a solid 32-34. The sound was strong but with a kind of fuzz on the edge of the tone. That was telling me that the target wasn't circular.
