Wave the coil over it in disc mode and see where they come in at with your detector. Not all detectors read the exact same. Note if you disc out pull tabs the gold rings don't respond either. White gold can ring up in the foil range. Hope this helps you some.
Did you buy the 705 Gold pack with the 5"x10" DD coil or the 705 standard with the 9" concentric? Same 705 but 2 coils with very different characteristics.Need some more info but for now, read the owner's manual and as Longhair suggested, download the e-book by Randy "Digger" Horton and read it, read it again, then take the 705 out for a test drive. I have the Xterra 70 and still learning it. The e-book really picks up where the owner's manual leaves off and gives you an in depth look at what the Xterra is all about.You will see just from the e-book that the 705 is a powerful and versatile MD. Change the coil , change the frequency and hunt everything! HH
E-mail sent. Twice. Returned as not deliverable.
So......
The absolute best place to start with the Xterra is to go to the MInelab website and sign up. It's free and obligates you to nothing. Then go to the "MEMBERS" area and download Randy Horton's free E-book "Understanding Your Xterra". Read it twice. It's an easy read and packs a whole lot of useful information into an understandable format. After reading it, go play with your machine. And when you get back home, re-read the book. You'll find answers to questions that came to light during your hunt.
While you're at the Minelab site, it would also be a good idea to go to the "TREASURE TALK" blog area and find Randy's four part blog article on "Which Xterra Coil Is Best For Me?"
Beyond that, a good e-mail address and I can make a few more suggestions.
HH!
