[QUOTE="Karen, post: 174424, member: 5779"] Thanks for the great info guys, and the honesty. Appreciate it. And also thanks for the links. Having trouble about the ground conditions I'll be using it in as I don't quite understand what hot ground is or how you can tell if it is highly mineralised. Yes, still have a lot to learn. I'm sure I'll find a description on the forum somewhere. GaryO you're right about my basic detector discouraging me. It did in the end. Didn't find any gold with it but was really excited and surprised when it signalled on an old early 1900's tractor badge. Had to dig down quite a long way and I'm still amazed with what I'd describe as a toy detector did actually find it. It was probably over a foot under the ground. That was probably the most exciting thing I found with it. Have just heard my brother has one in his garage that he's not using, so I'm pretty happy that I'll get to try one out to see if the novelty wears off before I buy one. The Ex-terra 705 sounds like it might be what I'm after though. Looks good and sounds like a lot of you guys have had experience with one. If you hear of one going for a reasonable price, do let me know. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
