2 hour hunt with the 705 today

[homebre]

Took the 705 out to a church camp area for an hour and then a church nearby for an hour. The first 119 minutes yielded the first picture (about $.85 in clad). Decided to try one more strip of land and dig one more solid hit. The results are the second picture: 2 rings are silver and the third which I thought might be gold has no markings and looks plated at best--but I won't complain. All three were in the dame small hole about 2 inches down.

How are you liking the 705 so far Andy?

I am liking the 705 a lot. I hardly use my Vaquero these days, especially if there is a lot of junk in the ground. I am too old to dig everything! I had the rings cleaned, and they look better now.

You probably know I had a Vaquero. It was one of the deepest detectors I ever owned and the most frustrating. I like the 705 for what it tells me. I know it can do a lot more than the way I hunt with it but it's doing what I want and I don't take the time to learn it like I should. When it becomes necessary I guess I'll learn.
I'm very glad I bought mine.

I still use my Vaquero, but I do not feel it is as deep as some of the other detectors people had. Maybe mine wasn't a hot one. I would go relic hunting, and most people using more expensive machines CTX3030, I kept finding too much iron, especially if I supertuned it. I still like its ease of use and use it in areas where there is not much trash. I hunt with the 705 in trashy areas using the coin program. I know I am probably missing a lot, but there is so much iron and aluminium slaw in areas, that I spend too much time digging junk. I like being able to use tones and not watching the ID until I get a good tone, then I try to guess what I will find. I found 3 rings, but I still haven't found a CW 3-ringer around here

Nice rings, hombre! I'm not using my Tesoro much either since purchasing the 705. The tones just make it too easy. HH

Your doing well. The three ringers will come.

 

[BillF]

You sound like me. I hunt in really trashy spots and listen for good tones. When I get one then I look at the meter and guess what it might be.
