What ever you do, do not under estimate Minelab's X-Terra 705 .....

..... it can compete with the E-Trac and if used right out do the E-Trac !

I managed to get out for a bit after work today, took a trip to one of my local spots to have some R&R.

Now, I've been over this spot (field) many times with 4 detectors, including the E-Trac, AT Pro, Gold Bug Pro and the F5.

I was digging all the deep hits high and low tones, after about 90 mins I got a strong hit in the high tones at around the 7" mark on the X-Terra 705 using the 5x10 18.75kHz coil, the reading was 46, ah, a ring I said to myself, I cut a large plug so that I could dig down the 7 or so inches, flipped the plug over and scanned it with the pin pointer and nothing, ah, still in the hole then I said to myself. I proceded to scan the hole and the pin pointer went nuts before I even got the tip an inch into the hole ! OK, thats not a ring then I said to myself, it's far too big for that due to the pin pointer going berserk ! I move some of the moist dirt around in the hole and then I see it ..... there staring back at me is the edge of a coin, silver, BIG silver, I pull it out of the hole and as I did I saw that it was a Walking Liberty Half Dollar, then I see the date, 1935, flip the coin and I see the mint mark ..... S !! Oh boy, a 1935S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, sweet

Also pulled another $6.85 in clad too !
 
That is cool I would love to find one of them it is on my wish list congrats on the big silver.
 
It certainly is one of the most under-rated, feature packed detectors available.
 
First off Congrat's on finding the Walker. Those halves are always fun to find.

If you found $6.85 in clad I would say that you didn't hit that place very good with the other MDers, lol

I've found 7 half dollars so far this year and 5 of them come from a public parks and schools and any one of those places I was lucky to of found a buck or two in clad the 6 to 8 hours each time I was at those places. Now that's hard hit and the X505 found those halves.

LOL thanks (I think).


As for hitting the place very hard ..... you would not belive me, but I've hit this one place for 2 years and I am still pulling coins out of the ground, but it's been all clad until today, as this was the first silver from the area !
