question on xterra 705 and 505

[djsmith]

Can someone tell me if there is a big difference between the 705 and the 505 as far as depth and any other differences other then the obvious differences

I really like the 705 so I am thinking about selling my AT PRO or trading the ATP FOR A 505 for my wife

I think she would like the 505 better then the ATP as long as the 505 gets the depth that the 705 does

This isn't the first time that that very question has been raised.

I knew you would come through for me oldlonghair
Compared to the ATP DO you think the 505 is pretty much equal or a little better

Setting aside the water proof of the ATP AND the depth I already know is deeper of its equal to the 705

The hardest thing for me was it not being as chatty as the ATP AS FAR AS THE 705 was concerned

I'd personally take the 505 over the ATP.
How does your wife like the 705?

She is liking it a lot also

She can't believe how much more stuff we are digging up in areas of our yard that we had already gone over with the ATP

THE 505 and the 705 was two of the detectors we had originally started looking at when we first started looking into getting a detector and the only reason we didn't get one then was because the distributor we purchased our first detector from did not have either one of the two MINELAB products in stock and didn't know when he would have them so we elected to go with the ATP

I WAS JUST FORTUNATE TO FIND THE 705 For $500 from someone in ARIZONA CLOSE TO WHERE OUR DAUGHTER LIVES SO WE SENT HER TO PICK IT UP FOR US

If she like the 705, then she will like the 505, but not having as many "auto" features she will have to learn how to GB (often) and pick a clean channel. Beyond that little learning thing, it will go as deep and run just as smoothly.....and the two of you can interchange coils.

The 705 is better than the 505 as far as I am concerned . More options for settings and here in UK we have the 2 DD 10 inch coil on the 705 and the 9 in concentric on the 505 .

I already know the obvious differences its the not so obvious ones I am concerned with and oldlonghair answered those for me
I have the opportunity to possibly pick up another 705 though and I may just do that so my wife and I have the same features though
