    705 - AM vs Custom program run wide open.( nothing notched out).

    Hey all, 705 with digger coil may be going on a morning hunt at a path around an old fishing spot in woods. Old air survey pic shows a couple side paths from long gone farm to the lake. Seeking old coins. What do you all think about running in All Metal mode vs my custom program, preset number...

    Again! I hunt hard and again found 11 cents. 3rd time!

    11. Ok I'm not into playing with numbers. Don't think about any superstitions or any such hoo ha. But no kidding. I've hunted 2 different parks and now the ole school ballfield side lines. For the 3rd time ( not in a row) but in a couple months, I've found only- one clad dime and one copper...

    Need a little help. I've read you can't detect CT beaches if they're being used by others for other purposes?

    Does anyone here in New England get what the DEEP website in CT means or know just what they've intended to mean by this statement. It read something like detecting state beaches is ok but don't detect when beach being used for other purposes. So are they saying if a person is there sunbathing...

    705's TID stabilizer feature -Questions.

    Hey all, anybody use the TID stabilizer on the 705. If so I've read right in the manual that the audio may not match the VDI. Question is- How far away is the incorrect tone. Could you see a 42 vdi and get a low iron tone? Or read a -6 and get a nice mid tone that should match a vdi around...

    Frustrated on summer hunt sites.

    I just got back from a futile ride around the nieghboring town. I planned on hunting a high school that's older than 50 yrs. My usual is to hit the edges of the oldest used ball fields or whatever sport field. I'm standing on the hill looking down on my promising site and the summer weed and...

    Old swimming hole beach filled with strange metalic reading sand.

    Anyone ever experience this. I was hunting a small town park last fall and hit a little clad. I returned to this site when I received my new 705 Gold package and the Digger coil. Found very little good but a ton of small lead fishing wieghts. Being in my early stages of a learning curve with the...

    705 with Digger LF or 5x10 HF, TID question.

    I've played quite a bit with my 705 and Digger 3 khz coil but as I've mentioned I have not got the coil on silver. My fault for obcessing with the 70's built school determined to find at least a Rosie before moving on. My question is what numbers are you guys getting when you do hit a silver...

    What's the verdict? Old silver coins really deep?

    I know this is an old subject. I've also read the huge threads full of science on density and conditions and how most coins are unearthed at 2" to 4" deep, old silver included. But....I still read many veteran detectorists writing the term, "deep older coins". I've recently wrote how I've been...

    Heard some like hunting corn fields.

    I've read before some guys love to detect corn fields. Why? Has anyone ever done well on such? Maybe the old house was right where the field is today. I believe in trying places that may not look great or unproven with research. Like the little patches of woods alongside schools and parks...

    Question on hunting ball fields and sports parks.

    Hey all, I have a lot of ball fields and some sport parks with baseball, basket ball, soccer, tennis to maybe hunt. I know of a 1970's built middle school that's only 20 minutes from me. What stands out is a baseball field discontinued of use but still mowed nice and short. Looks like they just...

    Need some cleaning advice, are tumblers worth buying?

    Hi all, I've recently tried cleaning clad using the salt and vinegar method. Brasso metal cleaner, baking soda and vinegar, and although the salt and v was the best as it took the rusty brownish red off, the clad was left with a deep black color and clerks where I was spending the clearest/...

    Digger coil taught me how to read a tight pocket spill from trash!

    I wanted to share a little story on pocket spills especially since some friends here are getting or just obtained a new Digger 6" 3 khz coil. I was on a slight hillside that overlooks a tennis court. I figured people may sit up there and watch the matches. I dug a couple quarters, lincolns and...

    Hi , I haven't really put any time into jewelry hunting. I've been coin shooting and leaving al kinds of signals behind. I'm thinking maybe ill go back and try digging for the heck if it. School with sports fields mostly. Do you guys have any suggestions on narrowing it down a little with VDI...

    Even the town parks ordinance on digging. Metal detecting not mentioned.

    Hey all, I know as does everyone in CT that our state parks permit metal detecting but recovery is limited to picking up targets on the surface. We can't dig. But we have our town parks, not all it seems. You have to look up the ordinances and most terribly I did on a town I grew up in. A...

    Anyone have a suggestion on a beach in CT.

    Hi, I've got a X-Terra 705 Gold and a BH for an old friend diagnosed with cancer who's people shy but dreams of trying detecting the beach. He mentioned Hammonasset more than once. I haven't been there in around 40 yrs. I couldn't get much help on a friendly place on the web. Is there a beach...

    Choosing coils on 705.

    Hi, I've got a new 705 gold setup and a 3 khz Digger coil. My plan is to mostly hunt for old coins and that's why I wanted the digger coil. Ordered the gold pack to have the 5
