The latest metal detector from Minelab now has its own forum. This detector is so different that changing the coil changes the frequency it operates at. You make the decisions and dont have to use a different detector more suited to what youre after. You just put on the coil that fits the needs. http://www.findmall.com/list.php?55Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:53:59 -0600 Phorum 5.2-dev http://www.findmall.com/read.php?55,1094492,1094492#msg-1094492 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?55,1094492,1094492#msg-1094492

Today I had to go by the bank to withdraw money. I remembered I had a check in my wallet for $8.50 that I had not cashed for well over a month..no big deal. When I got my envelope I took out the cash and went to dump the change. I heard a 'clink' sound in the envelope and thought 'what the...?' Then suddenly I REMEMBERED the sound silver coins make when clinking together!!! The teller had given me two silver quarters dated 1942 and 1954 respectively! I sat there dumbfounded while the teller moved to another window to help other customers. It's UNHEARD of to get 2 silver coins in change nowadays in the age of coin counters and vending machines kicking them out because of weight. Not to mention every coin enthusiast on the lookout for these coins. I finally 'snapped to' and got the teller's attention. When she came over I asked her about the quarters in her cash drawer and told her I would buy all she had dated 1964 and earlier. In all she handed me $7.50 in face value silver quarters!! WOOHOO!!

I need to get a numismatist to help with the grading of these coins, but I have 2 1964's that appear to be uncirculated, and the total of 13 1964's all are in very good condition. Others vary in condition and probably wouldn't command the (hopefully) $12/each that the 64's MAY be worth. I have the redbook but again, am not sure how to interpret grades.

I have 13 1964 coins, 5 1963, 3 1961, 1 1960 and various 50's going to as old as 1934!!!!

Man I can't WAIT to go back tomorrow to buy some rolls of quarters! While I'm at it, I'm going to pick up some rolls of half dollars just for luck.

The guy answered, I ask him and he said sure, but you will not find anything, because I detect and I have cleaned this yard out.....lol

I love when they say that, to me that is a challenge!.......anyhow, I found a couple wheats, then an injun, my #49 for the season, I knew I needed one more to hit my last goal I set for the year, 5 minutes later, I got a scratchy penny signal, and it turned out to be an Injun....#50 for the season...YES!!!! all 3 goals met for the year, wooHOOO!!!

couple minutes later I dug a real nice 1914-D barber dime, and got a few more wheats to end the day.

Not going to find anything....I keep hearing him saying that in my mind!!!

I guess he doesn't use a MINELAB!!!!

Does the extra money for the 705 warrant buying it. I have not used a 705 and would welcome any discussion.
I am an all around hunter. Doing a little of everything so a specialty detector isn't what I am after.

I currently use a Minelab Sovereign Elite mainly for the beach, and a Garrett Ace 250 as a general use detector. I am thinking of purchasing a new detector, which will be used mainly for field/land use.

I have always liked the look of the X-Terra range, and have noticed that the whole range has recently been upgraded with new features. The XT 305 now has Manual GB, Multi Tone ID, Noise Cancel and 7.5kHz or 18.75kHz coil options. (Much like the previous XT 50)

Does anyone on here use the XT 305 or know any other detectorists that use that model ?

I would be interested to hear your thoughts and comments, with regard to performance, likes and dislikes.

First I dug a 1917 wheat, then I got a large cent, sweet my 2nd ever LC.

Then I dug a 1857 flying eagle!!!! BUT.........it was holed, right in the middle!!!!!! Can you believe my luck!!!:cry:
I am still pumped, it is a one of a kind Flying Eagle. That made my penny trifecta.

Then I got another wheat cent, which was the 500th wheat of the year! :shock:

My hunting partner Charlie got a sweet 1863 store card token, pics on my video, it is a cool find. We weren't finding much more so we moved down to the next homesite, .........the 1st good signal was a #44 on my x-70, I was praying...PLEASE GOD let this be a silver half dollar!

Well I dug done and found my 2nd large cent of the day, this is unreal, I was doing the happy dance. Did my video, then re-scanned the hole. Would you believe I got a strong signal in the hole, and it was a 3rd large cent?!!!! 2 LARGE CENTS IN ONE HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I was on cloud nine.............3 large cents in one day.......in NW OHIO, that is almost unheard of. This is just my best day in the field EVER!!!!!

3 large cents..........
Flying eagle, even with the hole I am happy
and my 500th wheat for the year!!!!!
here is the youtube video!!!
