Hi Eldorado, nothing with the 705 the ground is very mineralised and the things screams everywhere, it can pick up tiny pieces of lead but they have to nearly be touching the coil.
Could be user fault but ive had a good play around with the settings.
The 705 is great for coins but have found more gold with the trusty pan!

Hi,I have a 705 myself and was just curious because I believe in not so mineralised ground it can find gold.

It works great on not so mineralised ground, ive found a piece of lead shot in sand that was so tiny it took me a while to pinpoint!
I'll keep persisting with it though on the gold side of things until i can gather up funds for a PI
