X-terra 705 pricing ; new or used

[Flex68]

I have finally decided that the Minelab X-terra 705 may be the first detector that I purchase.

Now I just need to decide what pricing is reasonable to expect to pay for either a new one, or a used one (say with the standard 9" coil, and no 'extras')......

What has been your experience with the 'best' deal one might expect , either new or used?
Many thanks!

Often they can be had for around $500 used. I scored one of the best deals I've heard of, and it was several years ago. I got one LNIB for $300, but that was also before they made the warranties transferable.

Check with our supporting vendors here on Tnet. They might able to work you a deal that would include some other accessories you'll need to complete your detecting ensemble.

I just got mine from Keith @ fortbed ford detectors & he really stepped up & took care of me. Normally I won't just say this just cuz its where it came from but he really did go further then I'd expect a vendor to do give em a call has all the packages, btw the 705 is a very good machine & I've had some nice top shelf detectors

I just bought one for $500. Found at a pawn shop, came with 9inch conc, 10 by 5 hf, minelab digger, minelab pouch, a set of headphones, carry bag. Not a scratch even on bottom of coil. Probably about what they should go for.

I'm go nuts over winter here to, only thing that helps is going icefishing and adjust gain and changing frequency on my fish finder.

I LOVE my 705! It goes deep, is reliable and has features like ground balance that I consider a must for land detecting. Even works OK on the beach.
By the way I love your avatar!
