[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 70624, member: 1695"] Congrats on the purchase, the 705 is well known as a good all-rounder, and is a good detector to get you started off. At least you have the option to go park or beach hunting should gold detecting become too frustrating or too long between finds. It will be best in areas with shallow bedrock around old gold workings, and detecting around spoil piles, shafts and mullock dumps. The deeper ground and areas riddled with hot rocks, are probably best left for PI detectors. It can take a while to get your ear in on deciphering between a hot rock and a genuine target, but some areas with prolific amounts of hot rocks will simply be too frustrating for a VLF detector, no matter what make or model, especially in some areas of Vic. :) [/QUOTE]
