What is going to be the diffrence anyway? They both should find gold, Im wondering if the special edition will still be around when the waranty expires. Is there going to be a big price increse or what? Iv been wanting a detector for months the 705 x-terra, gold bug, the xterra 505. But have been wanting to see the new gold bug. For the price I think the special edition is going to work just fine. Simpley due to the fact its frequencey is 19khz. I just want to know if anyone knows what is going to be the diffrence between the two on a human to human level. Who cares if its only a couple of inchs of depth. Just wanting some insight is all. Thanks jess
