    1st white gold, first diamonds, first yellow gold all in the same day!!!

    Since I got my 705 last spring the lake near my home in Northern California has kept high water levels because it is the drinking supply for the downstream counties. Fortunately its primary purpose is flood control so in anticipation of last weeks storms the lake was lowered by approximately 30...

    Getting cash for your damadged coins. The steps to follow in detail

    I have wondered after a year of coin shooting how I would rid myself of all the mostly damaged coins I was finding. My brother in law told me how he sent damaged coins to the treasury and they sent him back a check. I thought he was pulling my leg until tonight. I was reading a post in this...

    Great Success at Softball complex!! Almost a coin a minute

    When I first got my 705 I did, as I am sure you all did, I tried to think of places that people would lose coins. As I passed our local softball complex one evening and seeing the large number of cars there, I imagined the following. Guy gets off work, goes to the softball complex for game...

    First Gold- Wish it was not 18k electro plate

    Hit my first ring during a park hunt yesterday. I was so excited because it was so heavy. (7 grams) . My vision is poor so I saw the hallmark but could not make it out and I wanted to ignore its costume jewelry appearance. I hated to look at the hallmark later with my jewelers loop and see...

    I should of read e-book and actually paid attention to the information!!

    I have had my detector two months and have been doing quite nicely with the coin shooting but have been hunting areas like beaches and parks that I hoped would yield a piece of jewelry now and then. Today it happened. I got a TID of 42 so I thought I was digging a U.S. quarter but instead...

    Help ID this coin??? Please

    Found this today along with a few common USA coins at a soccer/ baseball complex in Northern California. I can't find any similar looking at Asian coins. Any one recognize it?? I can't read the words because they are just worn off enough to make then unrecognizable. Just a touch bigger than a...

    Found wealth is better than earned wealth!!!!

    I think I found the area in the city park where someone either hated having to many quarters in their possession or had no ability to hold money in their hands without dropping it. All of these quarters where found in an area about 6 foot by 6 foot area covered with only grass but not visible...

    Help with prospector mode

    I don't ask for this help as a short cut to reading and practicing but out of a need to keep from losing my sanity. My 705 is new to me. I have taken great pains to read the manual watch the MLOTV.com instructional videos and make my own cheat sheet for the coin, beach and prospecting...

    First coin cache found with 705

    Found my first coin cache yesterday on my second day detecting. Since I have only found about 30 coins totaling a little over a buck U.S. it was like finding buried treasure when I found two pennies in the same hole on a school play ground. Obviously a drug dealer or money launderer trying...

    First Day/ Won't be the Last Day for sure!!!

    Got my X-Terra 705 today. Have been studying for a week preparing for this day. My first hunt was the UPS delivery man in my town so as to to have to wait any longer for delivery. My lovely wife joined me for the maiden hunt of a local lake day use area. Her companionship was sort lived when...
