True Love

As the season came to a close here in Michigan in late November and the snow began to fall, I decided to ask a home owner named Betty if I could hunt her yard come spring this year. The home dates to the mid-thirties and she and her husband became the owners in 1953. I've recently suffered a heart attack and was concerned whether I'd be able to handle my Minelab Safari this season. So I sold it and bought the new Minelab X-TERRA 505.

Well to make this story much shorter, I walked over to Betty's yard and once again introduced myself and again asked if it would be okay to metal detect her yard. She said yes and on my second day I found a 1953 silver quarter, a silver heart shaped pendant, a 1973 dime, a 1965 penny and a lot of iron targets as well. I truly love this new detector and find that it's very similar to the X-TERRA 70 I owned a few years ago. I nearly bought the X-TERRA 705 but decided to purchase the X-TERRA 505 and use the extra cash to buy a new 6"DD 18.75kHz round coil. There's just no better metal detector than a Minelab as far as I am concerned. Thanks Minelab for making really good machines.
