X-terra 705 still a great machine in 2023

I have kept my X-terra 705 for years, and it is a machine that still deliver. I just ordered a Minelab concentric 9", 18,75 kHz coil. Can't wait to try that coil, very excited.
I use my X-terra 705 on archeological excavations, it's a part of my job. I have found out that X-terra 705 is great to pick up small items, like cut coins, arabic silver coins from the viking era, and gullgubbar that means "little old man of gold", tiny gold foil figures.

Last week I was out on a "dig" on a huge field to find medieval items. Found fragments of coins and other medieval metals, also an old weight, viking age or older.

I used my XP Deus first part of the day, and then after a lunch I started up the X-terra. It was then all the older stuff came up from the ground. I love the machine. Compared to the noisy Deus, the X-terra is so quiet, except when there is a target under the coil. So I decided to use the X-terra more, it has such a "attractive" sound :)

That's awesome, Mike!
