    HELP Needed - Elderly Couple Has Lost a Gold Wedding Ring

    I'm very confident with my 705 and have found other diamond rings and silver chains buried deep, I'd be happy to travel that far to do a good deed if somebody flew me down, I could pay my accommodation and find a place to stay for a week or so.. But surely there is somebody closer?

    Discrimination ????

    Minelab X-Terra 305 TID's, tips, settings, questions

    I reckon there would be a hell lot of 505's still in store boxes, Good thing about them they take all 3 coil frequencies. I nearly got one at time of buying the 705 but paid the $200 more to get Prospecting and Auto Balance feature's.
