[QUOTE="matchimus, post: 281605, member: 8149"] Hi Issa, I have a 400i and while I know nothing of the 705 I believe you cant go wrong with either. I am now a notch or two above the complete novice. One consideration for me was the only detector dealer in my town was Garrett so i liked the idea of just dropping in if I had any issues. Something I didn't fully consider were the accessories so factoring this into your budget might influence but I dont think I would consider anything below these two models (or the Racer). Besides the pinpointer I tried to do most on the cheap but only wound up buying the proper stuff anyway. Essential are the pinpointer, digger, and recovery bag. The headphones, coil cover, and cover for your button box thingy on your detector to protect it from mud all came with my detector. Also gloves and a bag to transport all this around. Then a bag to protect your detector if you got money left over. When buying my detector I didn't research resale just expecting it to be lowish but as Goldpick said resale is pretty good so you can look at the for sale section on this forum to see that which is a nice safety blanket.
