I have been in your same situation. I have a X-terra 705, a Gold bug Pro, and a GPX 5000, and all I have found is 77 cents with the 705 and a little over two pennyweight of nuggets in a year and a half. I have been told to keep at it, have positive thoughts, spend hundreds of hours swinging, and do a lot of research! The one thing out of all of that which has proved to be true is the research. Unless you are in a place where the "treasures" are, - be it gold, coins, jewelry, etc.- then your chances of finding anything decrease dramatically. You can still find things randomly in some places, but if you want to be consistent, do a lot of research before you go out to dig/swing. Good luck out there.
