[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 12551, member: 3"] Hi Ziggy, On paper there's a number of key differences between the two detectors. I'll list a few of the important ones to consider below. [b]Minelab X-TERRA 705[/b] Technology: VFLEX (Enhanced VLF) Visual Display: YES Water Proof: NO, optional rain cover available Learning Curve - Minimal [b]Garrett Infinium LS[/b] Technology: PI (Pulse Induction) Visual Display: NO Water Proof: Fully Submersible Learning Curve - High Another important factor is where and what you'll be chasing. If it's mainly gold your after or for underwater use, I would buy the Infinium, otherwise I'd go with the 705 because of its versatility, visual display and it's lighter. Of course that's only personal opinion so best not to base your buying decision solely on that :D Cheers, Nugget [/QUOTE]
