[QUOTE="tryhard1968, post: 173673, member: 5600"] Hi John, I was recently in the same situation as yourself, finding a detector in budget that was easy for the wife and kids to use, I was concerend about weight/ease of use/beach and gold, after much research I went for a secondhand 705. I picked up with 3 coils only 12 months old for $700 and 2 years of warranty remaining. Well I let my 11yo son loose on it and he read the book cover to cover and off he went happily detecting in the Talbot area.He has just found his 1st piece of yellow and he was very excited and loves the 705, he actually keeps telling me that it is better then my ML :( I let him think so as it drives him to find more then me. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
