This thing is pretty sensitive

I have been going over my yard with the new 705, trying to learn the language. I have six coins so far plus the usual foil and canslaw. But I continue to be impressed. I got a signal today that led me thre inches down to a .36 cal. lead ball. Another signal got me four inches down to the remains of a WRA Co. -marked .25-35 shell from a lever action rifle, likely 1930s or earlier, and at about three inches, the tiny little Y-shaped juncture of a zipper. Had it not been for the Propointer, I would have missed it.

Have fun with it. If you get a chance, go to youtube. A lot of videos there with guys using the 705. It will help.
Supersnoopy from down under and Mal have great vids.

I cranked the sensitivity setting up to the max on my 705 & went over my yard just to see if I could find anything that I missed. I dug a lot of small caliber bullets and shotgun pellets at 8 inches. Yeah, X-terras are sensitive.

Elrod: Good idea. I spread two to four inches of toposil over my yard last summer before putting in a new lawn. I'm guessing with a bit more sensitivity I might be able to hear those deeper targets ...
