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

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:
