Hi guys,

This is PREloved and well cared unit by an Australian reputable treasure hunter, who had change in life and could no longer detect.
This unit has never been to the beach and was used in Dry conditions. Comes in Original Box with all manuals etc...
I got it specifically to post on the forum, so there is at least one Gold/treasure hunting unit available for beginners who want the whole set up with Lesche and propointer at affordable price or people who want to upgrade from their entree lvl units.

Here is Minelab video :


But check Youtube for more Videos where people hunt with this unit.

I took this unit last night for testing to one Favorite spot in the park, where Dale (DMNZ) and i went over MANY times with E-tracks and CTX3030.
In 30 minutes i tested unit by digging all 5 inch + targets in gold/ copper and silver ranges :

* All gold range targets were as expected - pull tabs (would be cool to get gold on a first spin, but oh well)
* all copper range was as expected pennys and couple fo 2C pieces and Dollar coins
* Silver range got me Sixpence :-) (Dale, you missed one ! haha )

I was very impressed with performance and depth and would say X-terra with DD beats Gold bug with DD coil (i used gold bug on the same hill before)

Here other photos that usually wanted:

Further Info on the product from Minelab Website :
https://www.minelab.com/...rs/x-terra-705-gold-pack

Features:

Minelab’s proprietary "True Digital" VFLEX technology, the new class of single frequency detectors allowing you to change the frequency simply by changing coils.
Standard 18.75kHz Double-D elliptical coil provides effective depth and ground coverage, plus the coil’s high frequency is extremely sensitive and perfectly suited for finding small pieces of gold.
Compatible with low, mid and high frequency coils - all 7 X-TERRA accessory coils can be used with the X-TERRA 705.
Automatic/Manual Ground Balancing, Tracking and now with Tracking Ground Balance Offset adjustment. This creates a performance advantage in certain areas such as wet/dry sand transition and hot rock locations, by setting the balance slightly positive or negative.
True automatic Ground Balance eliminates false ground noises so you can hear elusive small gold signals.
Four preset detecting patterns that can also be customised plus All-Metal mode.
Adjustable Iron Mask – designed for Prospecting Mode. This feature allows you to find desirable targets lying close to ferrous metals.
Effective noise cancel reduces interference.
Threshold tone for more accurate target ID interpretation.
Two Pinpoint Modes: Auto and Sizing. With the new Sizing feature, the user gets valuable information on target characteristics including shape and size with variable tone and graphical indicator.
Target ID stability – precise, solid responsiveness in high-trash areas enabling you to efficiently and effectively search sites with a high concentration of junk.
Also a great coin detector with highly accurate discrimination and numeric target identification.
Positive transflective LCD display providing a back light only in dim light conditions enabling better screen visibility in poor lighting whilst saving battery charge in well lit conditions.
Depth indicators, update continuously, even in Pinpoint mode.
Runs on just 4 x AA batteries.
Ultra lightweight, balanced design (only 1.3kgs) so you can enjoy detecting for longer periods.

Max I think I should say the coil on the Gold Pack is not waterproof, only water resistant and should not be submerged.

Thanks for the reply looked like a good package I currently use a fisher f2 but looking for a detector for looking for gold as I spend a lot of time on the west coast panning and such 2nd hand would be good as I don't want to spend a heap.
