    Possible Diamond?

    I was metal detecting an 1800's camp area and hit an old metal key of sort. When I dug it I came across several small stones. At the time I thought they was agates. They were a bit soapy looking. I have a pile of odds and ends of finds that I have stashed in the area. Old horse shoe nails...

    Going to have to practice!!:blink:

    Been putting in a little time, starting to play with features of the 705 and am going to look at purchasing an additional coil in the future. Started out by turning the machine on and dug a 2001 penny in the backyard- about 6 inches deep. Since then- pull tabs, junk etc... Just was given...

    Best approach to trashy area with grass/brush

    What is the best approach to hunting areas with lots of tall grass, brush and trash? The situation I'm considering is some old mining towns that have extensive amounts of vacant homes, buildings etc... that can be hunted. The problem I came across is that the grass is about knee high (I'm 6...

    Minelab bag vs Fisher bag question

    I picked up my 705 yesterday and didn't realize that they give me Fisher bag vs the Minelab bag. Is there any difference between the 2, other than the label? It's a 2 hr trip on direction and I'm not worried about the label if the bag will work as well.

    705 arrived!!

    Picked up my 705 this afternoon and made it home about 15 minutes before light. Glanced at the manual and read that it will default to a factory set coin & relic. Read that, put the batteries and hit the backyard. Dug a coin @ about 6-8 inches within 5 minutes. Couldn't tell if it was an old...

    Used Kellyco detectors

    Has anyone ever bought any of the used Kellyco detectors that come with no warranty? Did they work out well? Is the price negotiable? The reason that I'm asking is that I've used their chat feature and received no response. Once no rep was available, I followed the procedure and asked my...

    705 vs Safari Questions

    I posted this on the Xterra thread also. Hopefully it's not a problem but I'm very interested to see what owners of both machines have to say about the questions I asked. To start- a little background on myself. I've never used a metal detector but am going to get started asap. I am located...

    705 vs safari questions

    To start- a little background on myself. I've never used a metal detector but am going to get started asap. I am located in Wyoming and will be primarily searching around some old homesteads, an 1800's post office, a couple old outlaw cabins etc... (All of which have never been hunted before...
