The 705 with the 10.5 DD Coil at 7.5 khz is my go to civil war relics machine. I have no issues keeping up with all the new multi frequency machines with it, at the end of the day I'll have as many or more finds as anyone. The depth is awesome as well. My old 705 is held together with super glue and duct tape, but it still produces the relics for me.
Joey I have had a Xterra 705 since late 2009 or early 2010 I truly believe the Xterra 705 is one of the most under rated detectors to have ever been produced, i still feel the same today I still have the 705 it is the one detector I will never get rid of I found the best find of my life with the 705, it is a find most would say is a find of a life time they will have to pry the 705 from my cold dead hands that's how much i love it
Don... Agreed! There should be a story behind every detector we own and reasons why we still continue to use them.. appreciate your comment buddy - Joey
I have spent a solid two, maybe three weeks researching machines to start off with as my FIRST machine. I didn't want to Join the Johneses and get the machine "everyone talks about" (Gold Monster haha), and I didn't want to put too much money into it, that I didn't have somewhere to GO as a potential future upgrade. Yesterday I was two clicks away from buying a Makro Gold Kruzer, and then I noticed a video on the XTerra 705 in my recommended list. Two of your videos, now! The more I researched, the more it became more appealing to me, especially with the options for different coils. The points you raised in this video here have sold me on the machine, and I am so glad I nabbed a great deal on one with a massive 15" coil for less than what I would have paid for the Gold Kruzer. Even after adding a 6" high frequency sniping coil for itty bitty gold nuggets! Thank you for your amiable attitude and for sharing your story on starting off with this machine, definitely sounds like I made the right decision to start off my journey with a great machine.
Thanks for the video, it’s a great idea because when the new detectors come out it feels like everything else previous has become obsolete and no good anymore. An avid fan from England 🏴👍🏽
My friend had that 705 machine too. At the time, I was using the Ace 250 and the Fisher F70, which found me a lot of great items. When he let me try his machine, I remember how much I liked how it performed. That was 10 years ago. Sadly, he passed alway from Covid in 2020.
This is a amazing machine that I have never had but always wanted to. Even though I had owned only Garrett AT Pro and Nokta Makro Simplex I always wanted to have an X-Terra series machine and ofcourse the 705 is the one to go. Man you content is great and you have the talent to keep people interested and listening to what you have to say. that's what we call in TV producing "Angel". Cheers from The Republic of Panama you have a lot of fans here!
Las Vegas Loves Panama! Thank you for the strong and kind support. You encourage me to continue producing better videos.. Thank you for your friendship!!!!!! - Joey
totally agree with what you are saying Joey, If you learn and know the machine and it is finding the good stuff, Why upgrade thinking you are going to have a machine that can find more and you have to learn the new machine
Look bro i absolutely beleive that any decent machine with a competent user behind it can find anything an expensive detetector can. So much of this is luck and numbers! Going to the correct spot and literally walking over the exact correct area.. and if you do that then any of the decent machine owned will find the same sttuff..
Hey Joey, this episode may me pull out my old eagle 2sl 90 and fire it up! 90's tech but so far advanced for the time. I'm going to take that puppy out this weekend and experience the nineties again. Great video! Thanks brother!
Yeeaaahhhhh Man! The Good old 90's... my older stuff is still smacking coins and jewelry out.. "if its there, my not so new machines can still find it man.. They are not obsolete!
I could never afford to buy as many detector's as you have. It's cool though. I had a Tandy special. Now I have a Simplex. Very pleased. I enjoy detecting. Lots of fun.
Joey, I started with the Xterra 50. Bought it used as it was all I could afford at the time. Awesome little machine. Upgraded to the 705 and those two machines paid for themselves many times over. Still take them out as they're still great machines.
Kenzo, Thanks for noticing man. I just couldnt keep making videos where Im shouting at the camera.. I wanted to speak at a calm "normal tone" so the mics needed to be added to the channel.. - Joey
That’s still a damn good detector right there I got one on eBay for sale right now I’d like to have it because that is a good detector jelly right there
I agree with you on the Legend, I canceled my pre-order. I loved the tones on my X-terra 705 I always hunted in 40 tones. Your machine looks brand new. 👍
Yeah i always keep my machines as clean as possible. Im not a mudder/ all weather guy.. So nice day park hunter is all the abuse my machines will go through..
I agree with you 100 %. Don’t need the latest machine to enjoy the hunt. The Xp deals machines are more detector than I would ever use. So why spend the money. Love your videos happy hunting.
I like the simple menu and large VDI as well. Maybe the best thing about these new machines is they are finally driving down the prices of buck list machines I have always wanted. Just picked up an Etrac for around $600 and you are now seeing Deus I machines for around $600 as well. Tesoro's are not beginner machines in at all and the most of their models were fast & deep and simply get the job done. I've got a Deeptech Vista X which is essentially a modern Tejon with Iron Audio that does great if you can stomach not having VDI. I agree that that minelab audio is pretty nice when you hit a keeper!
yeah man.. theres a point and time to retire old machines especialli if they are big, heavy, bulky, slow but the 4 i currenty swing are still getting used in a weekly rotation.. not over the hill yet.. Thanks Travis for leaving a comment - Joey
Oyea that 705 x Terra was my first minelab detector. Great machine was the flag ship of minelab or a pre nox 600. I think you will like the legend over the nox. I have 600 and 800. But love that legend build quality is great over that nox and the legend goes deep
Appreciate that advice man.. if its anything like the Simplex then Its gotta be on my wish list.. If its anything like the Equinox in performance.. The Nox will be dropped off at the Pawn shop LOl
Joey, Hey brother, I know exactly what you mean. Back in the day I started with a White's 5000D series2, "the old blue box style". Then I upgraded to the White's Eagle Spectrum. I still have it today and can't seem to part with it lol 🙃. That machine found me more stuff then all my others put together. Now I'm mostly swinging the Vanquish 540 / 8" coil. If it were not for the depth I'm getting now, I'd probably still be swing the old 90's model Eagle. I am already looking to replace the Vanquish with the new Legend though. I like to tweak my machine to my conditions. With the Vanquish, everything is preset accept for notching, and sensitivity. I think it will be a great backup machine though. Thanks for making these videos and the new mics sound awesome! 👌 -Matt
Matt, Hey brother! Thanks for all your kind words and support for my channel. Im constantly adding and innovating the channel to keep the Information interesting and up beat. I have more to this series of "Paying respects to my older Machines" - thanks for your cool comments - Joey
Joey, I don't hear anybody talking about water quality, as the water in the reservoirs sit stagnant, or flowing at a slow rate through the dams at lower levels water concern
I must have the latest and greatest because it will make me a better detectonist! The reason I don't find stuff is because of the equipment, I have isn't the newest, bestest, greatest.... of course I said that about the last 5 detectors I bought and they didn't work..... maybe it's me??? NAW it's the machines! Watching videos on RUclips I see some guys out there swinging the older machines and finding lots of great stuff, I think it all comes down to learning the machines and getting the most out of them. Thanks for the video
Pete ill say it and preach it... i absolutely beleive that any decent machine with a competent user behind it can find anything an expensive detetector can. So much of this is luck and numbers! Going to the correct spot and literally walking over the exact correct area.. and if you do that then any of the decent machine owned will find the same sttuff.. dont get caught up in the marketing of "gotta get the latest if you wanna be the greatest" Boooooooooooo - come on man. we know the real story
So many older Detectors On the market I would like to try out. Too many to list. As far as getting a newer detector with newer/same tech in them I am staying with the Line Up I have already. 705 is a sweet looking detector.
Yeah Dan I decided to run a series of videos showing my current (older) machines but explaining why they were so good and why I still have and use them in 2022
Why is ML still making the 705?? BECAUSE it is still a great machine & affordable !!! I wish I owned 1. I also wish I could own a Safari ! Batteries easy to just change... is why I love the V.540! Good Video.. VEGAS MAN !! ROCK ON !!!
You are so right about theses older machines some of them are like the top of the line. If I could ever find a canadian web site that sold them I would love to buy a x terra 705 gold like what you have. I can never buy anything on line from america because my sister is the only one that has a visa & she will not buy me anything in your country. when I give her my money she will only buy online in canada web sites stores. I changed my mind on buying the Legend I am thinking of buying the fisher f75 LTD. at Forest City Metal Detector web sites. What are your thoughts on that detector. From the reviews I seen about it I think it will be ok for beach & park hunting for me . I really only hunt shallow coins at the parks .
Frank you bet i would buy the F75! I had the T2 classic and it was kinda like the F75 but thats the one id love to own but its gotta be at the right price.
I still have my 6000di pro sl,love that machine,it's just a pain having to tune it every time! Upgraded to an AT Pro,love that machine as well,so easy to use.I'll upgrade again at some point,like the Legend so far but am going to wait for awhile and see how it pans out first,hoping Garrett will show up with something to compete with the Legend and the Nox! I'm a bottle digger who detects occasionally so I can't justify a Deus! Love the vids!👍 P.S. you didn't notice my Wilson comment on the last vid,what kinda Hawks fan are you?😂
Naw man I seen the comment.. I didnt get it at first But I got it now.. So sad to see him go to the Broncos.. Seahawks are gonna have some hards seasons without a Franchise QB.. Thanks for the comment brother.. I appreciate you - Joey
It's not always the best detector on paper that does the job. Years ago i bought a Tesoro Lobo Super Traq. At the moment i bought this Tesoro, it was already a dinosaur. But i never had a better detector that could sniff gold juwelry out the trash then this one. I stopped using it about 5 years ago because i missed to may coins. The separation was awesome but it missed lack of depth. Now 5 yeart later still 75% of all gold if ever found came from this detector. About 2 months ago i start selling some of my detectors i don't use anymore but i can't let this one go for sentimental reasons.
Yeah I bought and sold the machines that I didnt use very much or were too simular to another one.. the stuff I have look and feel different so its refreshing when I choose any of them.. and thats why Ive kept these ones im showing in the next videos
Yeah man I have such great memories with the 4 machines I have now and wanted to re introduce them (blow off the dust) and explain what made them so great and why I still love them today in 2022
love the new series buddy. i think all the metal detector companies are spinning off a load of bs on their new machines. i dont see anything revolutionary in the new stuff at all just more expensive old tech tbh.. you done a great job explaining why you love the old machines i have to be honest i dont think these new machines are much better. anyway great vid dude keep it up :)
I agree. It seems the change came with the Equinox with the "Swiss army knife" type of detector. One machine does it all. We all know that VLF is at its peak for depth and these machines of today are about as fast as they can be too. Maybe some EMI suppression and some sort of iron see through in the future? Time will tell I guess
@@finders-keepers1518 yes i agree mate.. the f75 has digital shielding tech that you can turn on and off depending how your situation is, apart from that not sure the nox does. yeah pulse is the new one to watch. fisher has a new one which is the first with discrimination we will have a vdi next hopefully. only time will tell buddy
Bro you can learn a lot just watching these new videos and see for yourself if its really all the hype everyone has been pumping up.. To me it still sounds like the same old Sh*t ... i dont need another detector to find me the same old Sh*t.. and all im seeing is what i always see... beep beep' beep beep.... dig dig .. ohh no' rubbish rubbish rubbish... So whats the rush? Love the machines you have because I dont see these $1000-$1700 detectors finding AMAZING NEW THINGS.. anymore or less then what I already own - Joey
@@BenshobbyStuff I actually ran an F75 for a few years and liked it a lot but the "shielded" ones were not quite as hot so I believe that was kind of a gimmick but still a great machine. Fun time to be in the hobby none the less.
@@VegasDtech yeah i totally agree buddy. I think ill stick to my f75 ltd lol, to me its the bomb. I find great stuff on the farm with it and as you said theres just no point upgrading at the moment. I know fisher are working on a smf machine and a little bird told me it be out soon. Just wonder if they can improve at all surely there must be tech available that sniffs out gold and tells you what youre above with the coil. Only time will tell mate
One of the best coin hunters out there . I had the Terra 705 a few times from 2010 till 2018 . I only gave up the type due to having other machines that could do the same job and the cashless society hitting hard that meant i needed all multi frequency machines for the beach. From 2011 till 2018 i had around £9850 of the beaches in coinage . And more than 100 rings . The tones and numbers are far superior to the Nox 800 or should i say Minelab Lada which i have decided to call it Crap build and poor features). I sold my LAST Nox a bit more than a week ago to go towards another Deus 11 which is far superior and ranks up with the E.Trac / Explorer 11 and Terra in my opinion. I really was hoping that Minelab made a new version of the Terra and for a short time the Nox seemed that . But it wasn't and the more i used it i felt the Terra was far better . The only reason other than cashless that i didn't buy another Terra was that its now pretty much discontinued and there isn't any i know of for sale in the UK or almost anywhere. Also i do have to admit that because of where i used it , i used to wear them down and it forced me to buy a new one every 2 years . If i found one now it would mean not using it enough to justify the machine so i cannot buy another. But its still one of my favourite machines i have used. As for the Legend , well ??? I have also heard that Minelab will be releasing a new machine at Detectival UK and it will be a top end model based on the Nox . If it is then i wont be getting it till late in the decade when i might need one. And i have heard the price will be a bloody lot more than the Nox 800. Off putting to say the least !!
Nice story.. If people have the latest tech that supercedes the old stuff i agree no need to go backwards.. but untill i can get around to the Latest releases.. Ill watch reviews on youtube and use the machines i currently own and the X-terra is still a great ex-girlfriend that I take out on dates Lol
Don't believe the hype Joey, the machines you have will find as much as the 'latest and greatest,' at the end of the day, you've got to walk over it to find it
Paul lets be "For Real" - i absolutely beleive that any decent machine with a competent user behind it can find anything an expensive detetector can. So much of this is luck and numbers! Going to the correct spot and literally walking over the right area.. and if you do that then any of the decent machines you own will find the same sttuff..
I remember following the social media outlets and noktas success stories closely when the simplex came out and it was very clear from the beginning that it was Somethin special one of a kind and never seen before for the price there were absolute beginners going to hunted out old house sites scoring things like colonial coppers things you would see dug with much more expensive machines older deeper finds from hunted out sites and then came the updates and smaller coils and you saw more examples of gold finds can’t imagine how many people payed off that machine already then came the legend and deus 2 and the problem is it seems like not enough people have them yet …… or the machines of the last generation really did a good job at cleaning these sites out and it’s a challenge for even the latest machines to find any goodies ? I think more time is needed for updates and for more people to get one
Excellent comment brother!! Yes and YES with everything you said about the Simplex!! and that is the next video loading up tonight.. "Revisiting the Simplex" and explaining what made it soooo good!
The Xterra 705 is an awesome machine I kind of started off hard when I started detecting. I started with the CTX 3030 which was a lot to learn at one time but I was injured at the time and couldn't even get out anyways I had had some massive surgeries so it was perfect for me to sit and just study and watch all the videos I could and learn it and when I get out with the machine and started using it it was still a lot at first but I caught on quick from all the reading and all the videos and stuff and quickly fell in love with that machine and I still use it to this day in parks and on the beach 👍🦀
Excellent story man.. Yeah in no way does the newer machines coming out, invalidate the previous line of detectors we own.. If it still detects trash wether it cost 500-1000-1600 it still is basically the same thing i got now
@@VegasDtech it’s kinda heavy , it’s starting to freeze up and you have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to reboot it! It’s far from being a legend . Salt water chatters like a hyena in heat . I noticed the battery life is not very good . But hey updates updates and oh did I mention updates . Sheesh . This machine don’t hold a candle to the nox . This just just my opinion. To be honest I wish I wouldn’t of (wasted) money buying this machine . And another thing people are so in love with Nokta that I can’t even express my opinion on it being a crappy machine . Ok for example they are telling you can’t judge a machine so quick ! I said ok well you also can’t say it’s a good machine so quick ! . These opinions are my so far opinions ! Things could change . I will give it a little bit of time each hunt to see if it will kinda grow on me . But I also feel like I would be wasting time . And don’t want to pass up on anything good in the 30 so minutes I give it each hunt . I’m trying to keep my mouth shut because some people can only afford this machine and are excited about it . I’m not trying to discourage anyone from the hobby . If you have a question more or anything you want to know about the machine let me know

Glad to see it being used still Iv just dusted mine down after taking a few years off and getting out there again
Omg- I thought my old exterra 70 was broke until I saw your video and realized I had all 4 batteries installed positive side up!
Well done video !!😊 this was actually my first machine too, and I still use it..✌

You look like a professional now you got your new microphone and everything
lol just making some adjustments to the channel. tired of yelling at my camera instad of being able to talk at a normal tone of voice
Always enjoy your Tech Talk Videos good information
Thanks Pelon!
I could never afford to buy as many detector's as you have. It's cool though. I had a Tandy special. Now I have a Simplex. Very pleased. I enjoy detecting. Lots of fun.

Yes they still hold thier own . Yes the newer stuff is more refined but The Xterra still finds me plenty and stll very happy with it here in 2022

Upgraded to an AT Pro,love that machine as well,so easy to use.I'll upgrade again at some point,like the Legend so far but am going to wait for awhile and see how it pans out first,hoping Garrett will show up with something to compete with the Legend and the Nox! I'm a bottle digger who detects occasionally so I can't justify a Deus! Love the vids!👍 P.S. you didn't notice my Wilson comment on the last vid,what kinda Hawks fan are you?😂
Naw man I seen the comment.. I didnt get it at first But I got it now.. So sad to see him go to the Broncos.. Seahawks are gonna have some hards seasons without a Franchise QB.. Thanks for the comment brother.. I appreciate you - Joey
@@VegasDtech Bro,without Russ I think we're dooooomed!! 🤣
It's not always the best detector on paper that does the job. Years ago i bought a Tesoro Lobo Super Traq. At the moment i bought this Tesoro, it was already a dinosaur. But i never had a better detector that could sniff gold juwelry out the trash then this one. I stopped using it about 5 years ago because i missed to may coins. The separation was awesome but it missed lack of depth. Now 5 yeart later still 75% of all gold if ever found came from this detector. About 2 months ago i start selling some of my detectors i don't use anymore but i can't let this one go for sentimental reasons.
Yeah I bought and sold the machines that I didnt use very much or were too simular to another one.. the stuff I have look and feel different so its refreshing when I choose any of them.. and thats why Ive kept these ones im showing in the next videos
I kinda feel the same way about my bounty hunter when I put the nugget shooting coil on it.
I only wish the simplex had a prospecting mode.
Yeah man I have such great memories with the 4 machines I have now and wanted to re introduce them (blow off the dust) and explain what made them so great and why I still love them today in 2022
love the new series buddy. i think all the metal detector companies are spinning off a load of bs on their new machines. i dont see anything revolutionary in the new stuff at all just more expensive old tech tbh.. you done a great job explaining why you love the old machines i have to be honest i dont think these new machines are much better. anyway great vid dude keep it up :)
I agree. It seems the change came with the Equinox with the "Swiss army knife" type of detector. One machine does it all. We all know that VLF is at its peak for depth and these machines of today are about as fast as they can be too. Maybe some EMI suppression and some sort of iron see through in the future? Time will tell I guess
@@finders-keepers1518 yes i agree mate.. the f75 has digital shielding tech that you can turn on and off depending how your situation is, apart from that not sure the nox does. yeah pulse is the new one to watch. fisher has a new one which is the first with discrimination we will have a vdi next hopefully. only time will tell buddy
Bro you can learn a lot just watching these new videos and see for yourself if its really all the hype everyone has been pumping up.. To me it still sounds like the same old Sh*t ... i dont need another detector to find me the same old Sh*t.. and all im seeing is what i always see... beep beep' beep beep.... dig dig .. ohh no' rubbish rubbish rubbish... So whats the rush? Love the machines you have because I dont see these $1000-$1700 detectors finding AMAZING NEW THINGS.. anymore or less then what I already own - Joey
@@BenshobbyStuff I actually ran an F75 for a few years and liked it a lot but the "shielded" ones were not quite as hot so I believe that was kind of a gimmick but still a great machine. Fun time to be in the hobby none the less.
@@VegasDtech yeah i totally agree buddy. I think ill stick to my f75 ltd lol, to me its the bomb. I find great stuff on the farm with it and as you said theres just no point upgrading at the moment. I know fisher are working on a smf machine and a little bird told me it be out soon. Just wonder if they can improve at all surely there must be tech available that sniffs out gold and tells you what youre above with the coil. Only time will tell mate
One of the best coin hunters out there . I had the Terra 705 a few times from 2010 till 2018 . I only gave up the type due to having other machines that could do the same job and the cashless society hitting hard that meant i needed all multi frequency machines for the beach.
From 2011 till 2018 i had around £9850 of the beaches in coinage . And more than 100 rings .
The tones and numbers are far superior to the Nox 800 or should i say Minelab Lada which i have decided to call it Crap build and poor features). I sold my LAST Nox a bit more than a week ago to go towards another Deus 11 which is far superior and ranks up with the E.Trac / Explorer 11 and Terra in my opinion.
I really was hoping that Minelab made a new version of the Terra and for a short time the Nox seemed that . But it wasn't and the more i used it i felt the Terra was far better .
The only reason other than cashless that i didn't buy another Terra was that its now pretty much discontinued and there isn't any i know of for sale in the UK or almost anywhere.
Also i do have to admit that because of where i used it , i used to wear them down and it forced me to buy a new one every 2 years . If i found one now it would mean not using it enough to justify the machine so i cannot buy another.
But its still one of my favourite machines i have used.
As for the Legend , well ???
I have also heard that Minelab will be releasing a new machine at Detectival UK and it will be a top end model based on the Nox . If it is then i wont be getting it till late in the decade when i might need one. And i have heard the price will be a bloody lot more than the Nox 800. Off putting to say the least !!
Nice story.. If people have the latest tech that supercedes the old stuff i agree no need to go backwards.. but untill i can get around to the Latest releases.. Ill watch reviews on youtube and use the machines i currently own and the X-terra is still a great ex-girlfriend that I take out on dates Lol
Actually I just saw right now on marketplace where I live at in Kentucky for sale for $150 I just seen it last night on her
Don't believe the hype Joey, the machines you have will find as much as the 'latest and greatest,' at the end of the day, you've got to walk over it to find it
Paul lets be "For Real" - i absolutely beleive that any decent machine with a competent user behind it can find anything an expensive detetector can. So much of this is luck and numbers! Going to the correct spot and literally walking over the right area.. and if you do that then any of the decent machines you own will find the same sttuff..
I remember following the social media outlets and noktas success stories closely when the simplex came out and it was very clear from the beginning that it was Somethin special one of a kind and never seen before for the price there were absolute beginners going to hunted out old house sites scoring things like colonial coppers things you would see dug with much more expensive machines older deeper finds from hunted out sites and then came the updates and smaller coils and you saw more examples of gold finds can’t imagine how many people payed off that machine already then came the legend and deus 2 and the problem is it seems like not enough people have them yet …… or the machines of the last generation really did a good job at cleaning these sites out and it’s a challenge for even the latest machines to find any goodies ? I think more time is needed for updates and for more people to get one
Excellent comment brother!! Yes and YES with everything you said about the Simplex!! and that is the next video loading up tonight.. "Revisiting the Simplex" and explaining what made it soooo good!
I love X terra. Banzai kamrad.
The X-terra 705 is like the P-51 Mustang of detectors! Banzai brother!
Does the 705 Gold Pack work well in salt water?
The Xterra 705 is an awesome machine I kind of started off hard when I started detecting. I started with the CTX 3030 which was a lot to learn at one time but I was injured at the time and couldn't even get out anyways I had had some massive surgeries so it was perfect for me to sit and just study and watch all the videos I could and learn it and when I get out with the machine and started using it it was still a lot at first but I caught on quick from all the reading and all the videos and stuff and quickly fell in love with that machine and I still use it to this day in parks and on the beach 👍🦀
Excellent story man.. Yeah in no way does the newer machines coming out, invalidate the previous line of detectors we own.. If it still detects trash wether it cost 500-1000-1600 it still is basically the same thing i got now
Because you have lots of cash. Normal guys their wives only let them buy one machine. Congrat's on the new detector.
No bro the X-terra is an old detector... I have no money for the NEW Legend and DEUS2 so im showing why i still have and love the older stuff..
I took my legend out Saturday.
Okay!!! Gimme the break down.... i wanna hear it.. Whats the initial feeling? Well worth it or I kinda like it?
@@VegasDtech I don’t like anything about it so far .
@@plugsfordays648 nothing at all?
@@VegasDtech nothing! So far .
@@VegasDtech it’s kinda heavy , it’s starting to freeze up and you have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to reboot it! It’s far from being a legend . Salt water chatters like a hyena in heat . I noticed the battery life is not very good . But hey updates updates and oh did I mention updates . Sheesh . This machine don’t hold a candle to the nox . This just just my opinion. To be honest I wish I wouldn’t of (wasted) money buying this machine . And another thing people are so in love with Nokta that I can’t even express my opinion on it being a crappy machine . Ok for example they are telling you can’t judge a machine so quick ! I said ok well you also can’t say it’s a good machine so quick ! . These opinions are my so far opinions ! Things could change . I will give it a little bit of time each hunt to see if it will kinda grow on me . But I also feel like I would be wasting time . And don’t want to pass up on anything good in the 30 so minutes I give it each hunt . I’m trying to keep my mouth shut because some people can only afford this machine and are excited about it . I’m not trying to discourage anyone from the hobby . If you have a question more or anything you want to know about the machine let me know
I just pick a brand new one still in plastic and carry case and pro find 25 pin pointer 300 bucks
