Great finds Smoky. If you do not mind what are your settings on the 705. I am trying to set up mine so I can go out and have a swing but do not know how to set it up properly yet. Thanks.

Hi Pete
These days I always notch out all the negitives as well as 2 and 4..wether im hunting parks or beach...it never changes....all metal will drive you mad.....and i have not found any proof with the 705 that you will miss targets....trust the vflex technology.. ....learn the id numbers...and try to guess what you think the target is before you dig it...That's the best advice I can give..................you will build confidence and get a feel for the different tones from there....also when you get to your location...first...do auto noise cancel...then auto ground balance......for parks i set sensitivity to 24 always unless I'm cherry picking fresh drops then it's around 16.....try that and you should be fine... :Y:let me know if you want beach settings..thats a whole different ball game :Y:

Hi mate
Just a map gas from bunnings.. yellow one....and a crucible..with borax from wollies....there's heaps of vids on YouTube.
I melt all my gold dust into nuggets as well...it's really easy....if you follow the process. :Y:
