    6 Days:clapping:

    That's how long Kellyco took to get my XT705 back to me. I was noticing a response problem when I would press some of the buttons the last couple of weeks. Even though I don't use tracking much, it would take multiple times pressing it to turn it on or off and the program button was also...

    Couple rings, forign coin, $4.52 coin, Darth Vader..deja vu

    On my way to a job this morning I went past the sports complex that I found the 14k ring last week with the X30.

    705 still in for service.....X30 strikes GOLD!!

    Not that I ever had any doubts about the X30s abilities, It found plenty of gold rings before I upgraded to the XT705. With my morning free I decided to hit a local sports field. Even with the cooler weather that usually gets me off the beach and out of the water to hunt the parks, yards, and...

This...

    The 705 and I were right; This ring was not lost at the beach!!

    In May of this year a vacationing couple from North Florida asked me if I would try to find a ring that was possibly lost while they were at the beach...although they were not really sure if it was lost there, It was one of the most likely places. I went out there the day after they called and...

    18k vintage pearl & big 925 ring...only at the beach would i have botherd to dig them

    Because the 18k/3.1g pearl ring with 2 small diamonds on both sides was a 4 TID, like small bits of foil......... and the basket weave 925/7.9g was a crappy 44/46 TID that sounded like a rusty bottle cap. It could barely get out a high tone like a quarter in between the scratchy broken up...
