Merry Christmas to all. Hope you guys got some gear off the old bloke in red like I did ??

Thanks for the reply, I think it is only when I am hitting junk or when I have a pull ring with a coin within a few cm of each other. The pocket knife blade was open and only showing the side profile so very thin. Maybe that is why it was all over the shop. The cord is defiantly curled...

Hi Troutman, I am very very new at detecting and I purchased the x-terra 705 and am heading to the beaches near Port Macquarie in the coming weeks. I will let you know how I go. Hopefully the machine works well and I find something. Happy to be out and about but finding some items is what it...

Thanks B5. To be honest I'm not using the discrimination as far as I am aware I have it left open so all numbers are showing up. (That's what discrimination means I think) Were I live I can only go to kids parks at the moment and. It really dig as it would not be nice for the kids twisting...

Have had a search for any threads of people's finds. If there is one I'll put it up there rather then keeping this one going if that's what I'm meant to do. I went out again today, just to the local park. Not expecting to find much as it's really only used by kids. The adults all have a nice...

Thanks Eldorado, I might just have to do a little bit of research on that and take the drive. I was thinking Silverton first but this may have changed my mind. A bit of history would be amazing.

Got to go out again today since the rain finally stopped. We have a few local parks so took the three kids with me. Found three 20c pieces a set of earphones (thrown in bin) and a few ring pulls. Overall happy as I could tell the coins almost straight away. Only problem is the parks all...

Thanks Silver, very happy the wife let me get the x-terra straight off the bat. Thought I would be waiting a year or two but sold some shares to buy it lol. Got a great bargain when I went to a second authorised dealer in our little town. Got minelab gloves, headphones, cover for the...

Hi all, Just thought I would firstly say thanks for the wealth of info on this page. My name is Sean and have just purchased the x-terra 705 dual coil. Currently living in Broken Hil. Went to the local park today to see what it's all about and try and learn something about the machine...
