  1. Here's a woodland metal detecting hunt with my Minelab X-Terra 705. I was out in the woodland I've only visited a couple of times and on previous metal detecting trips, my friends and I have found a variety of old coins and bullets so we continue to metal detect the area to see what else it has to offer. On this particular metal detecting trip with the Minelab X-Terra 705, I managed to unearth a 1950's metal kids cap gun, it still has lovely engraved detail on it which made it identifying it very easy. Along with the gun, the Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector also found me some more lead bullets, rifle casings and the usual bits of trash too, but the gun was certainly the find of the trip.
  2. Here's a short video from just my second time using my new Minelab X-Terra 705 Metal Detector just last Sunday. I was visiting some woodland we have permission to hunt on and took my Mnelab and the very first find was a Canadian coin which is something I was not expecting to find considering I detect in the North East of England, UK and it is in outstanding condition. OK, it's not the oldest coin but why it was found where it was if a mystery, it wasn't the only coin of the day either, finding a 1913 farthing too. Along with the coins, the Minelab X-terra 705 metal detector also found me some old lead bullets, some bullets casings and a little bit of trash too. I was detecting with a more experienced friend who declared the Canadian coin the find of the day and the farthing the oldest, so the Minelab X-Terra 705 did me proud :D #metaldetecting #minelabxterra705
  3. Here's an air test video comparing a Minelab X-Terra 705 with a Garrett Ace 250. Now I am fully aware that metal detectors react differently when out in the field compared to in an air test environment and I also know that air test's aren't a true reflection of a detectors abilities, however, I still found them useful when I was looking to upgrade my detector so hopefully other people will also find this video useful. The test is carried out using a variety of UK coins and jewellery. The Garrett retails for around £200 where as the Minelab retails for £450-500 so it's more than double the price so I wanted to know, in a really simple test, how much more sensitive the Minelab would be compared to the Garrett at half it's price. Anyway, I hope you find the video useful and informative like I found them when upgrading detectors:
