    Any prospectors here?

    Just wondering how and what you are finding with your 705s. I still plan to add the 6-inch DD HF coil. In small washes and creek beds, the 9-inch coil is a little clumsy.

    So when I am hearing tones ...

    ... that are just brief little bips and beeps that are cut off by null trash signals, are these possibly good targets? I know some of the them that bounce around the number scale tend to indicate can slaw. I also don't dig targets that disappear altogether when swept at a 90-degree angle. But I...

    This thing is pretty sensitive

    Is there a TID "map" for the 705?

    Just wondering if there is a chart showing how the various numbers/segments on the TID screen match up with the actual targets, such as dimes, quarters, pennies, etc. So far almost all of my targets bounce between different numbers, but then all I have dug so far is trash. Really need to do my...

    Found a 705 in stock

    Larry at NWI got one in, and now it has my name on it. I'll have to read Digger's e-book several times before I get it figured out -- I date to the early 1950s and have trouble just answering a cell phone. That said, I think the Minelab and I will have a "beautiful friendship" as Bogie said to...
