The 705 has ground tracking, + or - offset possible, light, 4th pattern, 2nd aid for pinpointing, & target ID stabilzer for deep coins. X70/X705 sensitivity goes to 30, X50/X505 to 20, X70/X705 has 2 number increments on ID.

I had the X-Terra 50 & on planted penny 4 1/2" deep, on some passes it had dropped down to foil or iron ID. I don't think this happens on my X-Terra 70 but haven't done planted coins tests yet, due to dry cement-like ground. The X-Terra 70 seems more likely to read high than low on deeper coins. My ground won't get me deep coins, but 5" on XT-70 is fairly competitive.

Hope this helps some & that you get more replies. HH, George (MN)

I forgot to mention the X-Terras have the 1 tone option, but more expensive models make you listen to multiple flute tones on 1 object. Some people can't get used to that, others love it. HH, George (MN)

All the reasons above plus a biggie: SWEEP SPEED
The other machines are great, but from all I've heard and read, you have to go very slow............
As far as depth and sensitivity, my 13 year old son digs .22 shells at 6-10 inches all day with the 6" 18.75 kHz DD if he so chooses. Overall the Xterra 70 has been a great unit, deep,fast and very customizable to any search condition.

I had an X-Terra 70 that I traded for an MXT. I also have a Safari. The Safari is a very easy to use machine. It goes very deep on targets. I mainly use it at the beach nowadays. I received the MXT three weeks ago. I have been focusing my time on it.
