found my first silver and indian head

Picked up a XTERRA 705 and started going over my yard again with it
I had already gone over my yard 2-3 times with my AT PRO and wasn't finding much of anything with it had dug all the good signals I was hearing with the ATP

The difference was the targets I found with the 705 were deeper then the ATP COULD DETECT

IT WASN'T until I stopped getting good target reading that I decided to try the 705 I probably have a 10 pound box of trash targets I had detected AND dug up with the ATP

This is no knock on the ATP

But this is a few of things that the ATP MISSED

The difference was the targets I found with the ATP were not as deep as the ones I have found with the 705


I absolutely love the XTERRA 705

I believe the ATP IS A GOOD detector but in my opinion the 705 is quite a bit better

The 1941 merk was 10 plus inches down as was the Indian head Buffalo five cent piece
The old toy car was some where around 12 inches deep

I think I would have probably have found them to begin with had I been using the 705

The merc was under a root of a tree that I had to remove
The Indian head and merc was also within a 5 ft area that I got vary few readings from the ATP

Well considering I hunted my yard with  the ATP for about four months and found a lot of things with it I never said it was a bad detector its just the things I am finding now are deeper
I even went as far as taking both the 705 and the ATP OUT TOGETHER and when I would find a deep target with the 705 before I wuld ever dig that target I would a re scan with the ATP d it would not give even a low tone or hint there was anything there so I ould are scan with the 705 and are pin point and then dig

So in my opinion the ATP is not as deep as the 705
