X Terra 705

  Hi there I have the Eureka Gold I have read the 705 is about on par with the preformance of the Eureka, also I own a Fisher Gold$trike and it out preforms my Eureka gold in depth and size of very small gold detected and hot rock rejection, it is very sensitive! It is to bad that Fisher discontinued this unit I got mine off Ebay , they come up for sale every couple of months and are very cheap to buy, the Eureka really has problems with hot rocks and mineralized soil, my Fisher does not, also when I ran a very sample of placer gold across the coil for a comparison test my Gold$trike hit it every time  and the Eureka did not even respond to the same sample no matter what frequency 6.5k 20k 60k I put it in or any setting I tried, I found a review on the Gold$trike and a comparison with the Gold Bug II they essentially have the same preformance except the $trike has hot rock rejection and automatic ground balance as well as manual ground balance, a backlight, disc,programmable memory settings, but then again the 705 is newer technology it may be more stable in mineralized ground. Alot of users like the 705.
hope this info helped
Rick

Ive just ordered the xterra 705 from the UK yesterday(?539, love that weak pound)time to upgrade the 305,which has payed for its self all ready,found over ?400 in cash in the last 5 months.Cant wait to hit the same hunting grounds again with the 705 and see what differance the DD coil and depth makes,the only problem with the 305 was it did not like the nickel coins (the old german marks,which can be still converted into ? at the centeral bank) and theres plenty still out there,took a while to get used to the low tones,the nickel coins regester between 12 and 16 on the 305,same as pull tabs for some reason,also the ?2 coin a low 20 signal,the ?2 coin is bimetal brass alloy core and nickel out side,you have to work with high sensitivity,where the ?1 coin is reversed,nickel core brassalloy outer,and they give a suprer 2 way 32 signal,so lets see what differance the 705 makes,I realy enjoyed the 305 and found 1000ends of coins some good relics ca 10 silver rings only 1 gold(14k) and a few nice 17th 18th silver coins,still not bad for 5 months,well santa claus should be here next week with the 705,hope he hurrys up,cant wait to go for a dig while the weather is still good here in southren Germany....HH mikek
