I have this one. Minelab X-Terra 705 Gold Pack. Have had it for years with no issues. Also have a Garrett waterproof pin pointer. Useful for narrowing down where the signal is coming from. If you plan to use it at the beach, get a unit designed particularly for beach searching.
I have a friend coming over on Friday to do some relic hunting with me. Hope the weather holds. |

I have swept this old property a bit! I’m really great at finding metal! lol aluminum can tabs and bits of rusted metal! Found a dime….. once! It is quite the time waster meaning it takes a lot of time! I struggle learning the sounds of the tones. Beep beep means dig to me! Then the pointer as Tiki shows! |

My farm is on civil war grounds. There was a Confederate hospital on the property next to mine. I have an old, unmarked graveyard on top of a hill. The river, which is one of my property lines, was used to ferry troops and munitions during the war. A large, drawn out battle was fought at a ford about a mile and a half upstream from me. Lots of history around here. |

Check out this site: https://www.treasurenet.com for more info, I've been a member there for a while.
Please realize the gubmint has been cracking down on public site treasure hunting the last few years, and it is forbidden on many beaches now. Research any lost gold carrying ships in the New Jersey area, you never know when the next hurricane temporarily shifts around some beach sand and exposes a little honey in the general vicinity for a quick minute. |

I've got a Minelab Equinox, used it for beach hunting for a while, mostly just junk pocket change but occasionally some cheap jewelry.
I moved away from the beach so it doesn't get used much these days, might be interested in selling it. |

The company I retired from has a plant in Petersburg VA. The building lobby has multiple display cases of Civil War relics that have been discovered on the property.

I have several, my favorite being the minelab ctx 3030. Took the last couple of seasons off to focus on other matters but I’ve accumulated a very large amount of treasure, over the years.
I wouldn’t recommend buying the most expensive detector nor the cheapest, not until you find out if you like it and you won’t if you buy the cheapest. |

A Jew walking around with a metal detector. That's really rich! If I got one of those for my wife, she would wrap it around my neck. |
