    Another somewhat hilarious ad

    Saw an ad in one of the treasure mags for a beep antaenna. Wont post the name here. One gentelman claimed he found a jar of coins with dozens of them being pre-1964 Kennedy silver halves. Funny, they didnt start making these until 1964. Must be pretty rare coins, indeed.

    Gone 2 weeks and a small coin spill

    Gone 2 Sturgis for 2 weeks. Had a bad jones to go detecting. Went out Friday for about 3 hours until it got too hot. A bunch of older copper and clad, 1 wheat, 1 silver war nickel and a very tiny ring. You can see the size next to the wheat, hopefully. Lots and lots of trash for the little...

    Friday morning hunt

    Been blazing hot here the last couple weeks. Usually around 90 by 10am. Got out this morning about 8. Found a small section of street that has been displaced by the new North South Corridor freeway. Found it by searching the area with satellite photos. Cant be certain that the area has or hasnt...

    Earbuds

    This has been brought up on other forums, thought I would mention it here. Went to Radio Shack Friday, bought a 1/8to1/4" headphone jack adapter and a $15 pair of earbuds. They work great on the 705. It's just too darn hot to wear regular headphones and I dont feel quite so much like someone can...

    Resetting to factory preset

    Took the 705 out Friday. Once again had a hard time finding a clean spot to GB. Used tracking for a bit, turned tracking off, etc. Hunted for about an hour finding nothing of value. Decided to reset, this is the 2nd time in 2 weeks. After resetting, I was able to find a spot to GB and almost...

    GB tracking

    I posed a question the other day about my difficulty GBing in a trashy area. A couple of folks suggested using tracking to set the GB, then turn it off. My question now is, if you use tracking in an area that has trash every couple inches, won't it just balance pretty much to the trash and still...

    Pattern 2 and gold

    The last couple of hunts I used search pattern 2 at the oldest part of where the houses have been removed for the North-South freeway. Just for the heck of it I layed my wedding ring down. Nothing. It would pick up in patterns 1,3 & 4. Not 2. Wish I would have known earlier.

    Depth?

    I read a post here recently where the poster said he was finding newer coins at 5-6 inches. Another member told him that the silver coins may be out of his reach if newer coins are that deep. My question then is, what is the expected depth of a 705 with the stock coil? Thanks for your answers.

    Vaquero to the rescue! Update

    After carefully considering the suggestions given here( especially one by Elton), I made a decision based on something I saw on the local news. Summer is here. Our city has begun charging the kids to use the public pools. That's fine if your folks have money. The money has been donated to a fund...

    3 rings in 2 weeks

    Hit the same school as the one I found a ring at last week with the 705. Lots of trash, a few coins and Black Hills Gold. Yea, baby!

    For new Xterra users

    I got my 705 on June 4th. Only been able to get out a couple of times, so I am still learning this machine. I am by no means new to detecting, but new to ML and an ID machine. This morninig I took the 705 to an open field that once held several houses. It is in an area that has been getting...

    High tone, high number signals

    The last couple times out with the 705, I occasionally get a faint, high tone signal with a mid-40s TID. The depth gauge says its deep.When I switch to pinpoint I can't get the signal, switch back to search mode and the signals back. Is this a false signal or should I try to narrow it down and...

    Vaquero...to the rescue!

    Saw an ad on CL this afternoon. A gentleman was looking for someone with a detector to help him find his lost hearingaid. I called and asked if anyone had come to help and he said no. My wife and jumped in the car with the V and drove to the opposite side of town. When we arrived we introduced...

    Maiden Cruise of the 705

    Got the new 705 last Tuesday. Put it together Wednesday, and took it in the back yard Friday. Just trying to learn it, Very confusing. Friday night I watched a few videos, read the e-book from Minelab, watched some more videos then hit a school about 4 blocks from home. Based on what I saw in...

    Compadre test run

    Had an hour to kill, so I took the Compadre I bought for my wife over to a park close to home. Wanted to get a feel for it after having Tesoro look at it. Man, I sure like this little gem. If this keeps up I may sell everything else I have and buy another one for me. I might have to get another...

    Tesoro repair

    For any of you worried about sending in your Tesoros for repair. Don't! Sent my Compadre in Friday before last. Got it back today. I AM NOT the original owner and they replaced the coil and retuned at no charge to me. Thanks Tesoro.

    What is an original Silver Sabre worth?

    Hawkfiend37 got lucky and picked one up for $20. I'm not willing to part with mine for that price, but I really dont know what value to put on it. I think they are somewhat popular, you sure dont find them very often for sale. I had Tesoro go through this one last year. I would appreciate any...
