[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 282677, member: 3"] I haven't used a 705 personally so I can't really comment on that, but as mentioned I'm currently using a 400i for coin and jewellery hunting in fairly mild ground. So far I've been very happy with the ACE in terms of depth, sensitivity and ease of use, and to be honest I haven't encountered a situation where an auto or manual ground balancing would be required, it's been quite a stable and reliable machine in the ground I'm digging. I haven't used it at the beach and don't really intend to at this stage, but I have seen videos online where the user notches out a couple of pixels on the VDI to get it stable in and around salt water. Although not ideal, if it works then why not. At the end of the day, the worst user could have the best machine on the market and still find nothing, so pick a machine and learn it well ;) If you have any questions about the 400i, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.
