Okay for those in the know. I just found out that Minelab had came out with these new X-Terras. This is kinda bad for me cause I just got my wife a X-70 just a few months ago. From what I can tell, the two are pretty much the same, except for a few little features. Only one of which I'm interested in and posting this about.
On the X-70, when you are hunting in all metal mode and hit a piece of iron, it kind of lumps the iron together in a very small ID range. For example...on our X-70, a square nail will ID the same number as a cannonball frag or iron cannister ball. And other than digging everything in that ID range and seeing for sure, I've found no way to really tell a difference.
That's what caught my eye on the 705 machine. Are you telling me that with that machine's new pinpoint sizing, that I for sure would be able to tell a size difference on the iron objects too? Obviously there is quite a size difference with a cannonball frag the size of your hand and a little square nail so by my thinking, the sizing feature would be a real blessing on those signals that ID the same number but are really different in size! Can someone verify this for me please? If so, than that is one feature I'm gonna have to have because she got REALLY discouraged a week or so ago at my little skirmish site by having to dig everything and I couldn't tell her any way around digging it all.
