Haven’t posted anything for years, Im glad to see this forum still alive.

My 705 have been with me a long time and never stop to deliver.

I worked at a big excavation, and used the X-Terra frequently. It really have a good nose, it sniffs up small cut pieces of Viking coins, small silver fragments. Usually fragments of Dirhams, Arabic silver coins from 800-900AD.

I also use XP Deus and still have my trusty old E-Trac, but that is machine I seldom use, due to it’s heavy weight.

Here is a small fragment of a arabic coin 1100 years old. Coil is the sensitive 6” DD..

When I first got my 705 I swung it over every inch of my yard & found a few clad coins. Then one day, just out of curiosity, I maxed out the sensitivity setting and went over a patch of my yard that I "knew" was clear of metal. After a lot of digging and pinpointing I was recovering birdshot that was 6"-8" in the ground. Small shot like #6 or #7 1/2. I reset the sensitivity to the default level & never changed it again in 14 years. Small metal is easy for the 705 to find.
 
I never have a problem with that. Someone is always ready to give me the shaft at a moment's notice.😬
