Hi All, I am almost ready to Buy an X-Terra 705 Mine lab. I feel by what I have read, that it will be a Great all purpose metal detector. I just used a buddies Sovereign Mine lab and found deep silver at the beach, I couldn't believe it. I want to know some general opinions on this units abilities in both on the beach in wet sand and in the desert in prospecting mode. I live in Southern California (San Diego) and hope to look around in the Yuma areas and maybe Mojave for starters. Thanks for any info. Rick
