Hello all
I bought an X705 in Mar. To be honest, I have tried hard to learn this thing. I have read everything I can find and everything on here (thanks to all). I bought this for general all around detecting and the TID as well as deeper stuff.
Exclusively used through the summer in parks etc and found some fairly deep aticles. It seems OK for silver (couple of rings and a bracelet) No gold. Studying the forums etc, I determined the concentric coil may not be high enough frequency for gold jewelry small or otherwise. I parked it in the garage about 8 weeks ago and hit the parks with my old unit, the Tesoro Eldo. 2 gold rings in one week and another last week.
My question
What coil is suggested for general park searching for small and medium gold etc? Beaches? Frequencies? DD Large? DD small? What do you guys think? Not ready to give up on this one yet but the thoughts are perhaps a DD.
Thanks and happy hunting
