Hello, I am new to this forum, actually forgot that I signed up a year ago, but never posted. I just bought a new 705 for my fiance and I will be the one learning it so I can show her when she gets to go. It will also be a backup for my E-trac if I need it. I have read alot about it and it seems like it is a very good unit. Any input will be appreciated. I did read Randys e-book and liked what I read. I have been using an E-trac for 11 weeks and found that it was pretty easy to learn, although I won't say that I have mastered it yet. I do know that I have dug 29 silvers with it and I can avoid alot of junk. I hope the 705 has some of the silver finding capabilities of the E-trac.
