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 it was discovered that she is very impatient. When I did not locate a 24 K ring crusted in diamonds in the first ten minutes she quit me which took 30 minutes of the day driving her home. That is where the day turned good!!! Went to a school and searched their soccer field locating approximately 200 shards of aluminunim. Wondering who does that I soon realized that Mr. School Mower man is to lazy to dismount his mower to remove litter so he just shreds it in place. I then moved to a small county park along a wild river. There I located (2) quarters, (1) nickle and (3) pennies all modern day and all almost unrecognizable from the pounding of the river rocks. Also fund the frequent pull tab and corona bottle caps with a mixture of lead shot and a fishing lures. I now ache from head to toe from the digs but it was worth the cost of the machine and the pain I now suffer just for the excitement I felt digging my 1st quarter from the slow death it was living at the hand of mother nature.
