Minelab X-TERRA Forum

I've had my 705 for a month or so over 2 years. Last night I topped the 3000 coin mark. 3006 to be exact. If you would have asked me back when I bought it if I thought I would have found that many coins by now, I would have never guessed that high. I would had figured in the 300-500 range.

I'll admit that a few times I ran across a sand pile that had the balance of coins left from a kids party but that's only been 2 or 3 times and although one of those netted just over 100 coins, the other two were pretty minimal.

I hope everyone else has had at least the good luck that I've had so far. I could not be happier with this detector.

By a review like this is pretty hard to top! NICE

VERY NICE ! BTW WHICH COILS DID YOU USE THE MOST? HH

I'm sure there are probably many people on here that have done much better than I have. I just remember that I was hoping that I would find SOMETHING when I first bought it.

Congrats on your coin total. I also have been MD'ing for a little over a year and have accumulated $430, some nice silver and old coins & jewelry with my 705!

I would say that I've used the HF 10.5" DD coil the most. The 6" HF coil is my #2 coil. I will say that lately I've been using the MF DD. I didn't like that coil very much but then I figured out that it's a good coil but the response time is just slower than the HF coil. Since I've slowed down with it, it's started to prove itself.

You must be finding a lot of higher denomination coins or have way over 3000 because I'm just rounding $200 face value and have a decent mix of all coins.

Congrats on hitting the 3000 coin mark. Funny thing about finding coins..... I've been detecting for 40 years now. And I can still remember digging my first coin. It only gets better! Nice job! HH Randy

You'll never know for sure......unless you dig it! HH "Digger"

do you find it alot harder to pinpoint with the HF DD 18.75?

Not at all. It might be just a slight bit easier to pinpoint with the HF than it is with the MF coil.
