New 705 owner says thanks!

[parkgt]

First I would like to thank the many contributors to this forum for the wealth of information here. The vast amount of knowledge freely shared and the support offered by the members were major factors in my decision to buy the 705. I read most of the first 110 pages of posts here.

I bought my standard unit and 6" HF DD from Bart at Bigboy Hobbies along with some other goodies. His pricing was fantastic, the communications clear and prompt and delivery was fast. He has earned more of my business.

6 hours in and six coins (nothing old or rare) and plenty of junk. I am starting to get a little feel for what the machine can do if I keep at it. Only knocked out the two extreme ends and am working on 28 tones with a pair of SunRay Pros. Figure I might as well start the way I want to end up even if it is a little slower going. Boy those deep tabs can really fool a newbie, that is too eager to dig!

Digger's book and this forum have made the path forward clear although not easy. Hope someday to post a worthy find and contribute back to the group.

Thanks again,
Greg

Welcome to the Xterra family!

And all finds are significant. We learn from every one.
I have every reason to believe that you'll get comfortable with your machine, and be posting pics of cool stuff in no time.
