[jpf1979james]

[jpf1979james]

[bamboo1972a]

The best Snoopy! LOVE your video and work! Looking forward to more.

I don't think I've ever seen a more caveman way of digging in my life.

@JBernard79

Grunt :o) He he heee yeah I agree. As per previous comments, the ground was hard and I was certain it's all current coins so I had no problems with 'stabbing' it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[JBernard79]

@SuperSnoopy36 I was trying to be rude but it made me cringe just thinking that maybe it might have been an old coin or something...nice video though buddy.

[scottclements78]

Is the xterra as good for looking for gold nuggets? Thats what Im looking to find.

[SuperSnoopy36]

@scottclements78

To be honest I don't know as I haven't tried. The Xterra 705 has a special prospecting mode that is designed for gold nuggets. I air tested a 1gram gold nugget that was given to me and in prospecting mode it could detect it at around 6 inches.

[jpf1979james]

@scottclements78 yes its very good! if u want to save some money dont get the 705 get the 70 theres not much deff , u get a back light i more patten and i was told by the guy at the miners din that its just a way for minelab to grab more money.

but u must get a DD coil for gold hunting

[tassyhunter]

great vids, is the propointer worth getting?

[SuperSnoopy36]

@tassyhunter

Thanks Tassyhunter. To answer your question, if I went for a hunt, drove for a while and realise that I left my propointer, I would turn around and go back to get it. It cuts target retrieval time so much! I'd consider getting a second one as a back-up!

Reminds me of basic instinct the way you handle that grass. Interesting method though.

So is the minelab xterra 705 worth the money?

[SuperSnoopy36]

@obbabob

Ha ha ha - yeah I stab it hard coz I know it's just everyday coins :o) The X-terra is worth every cent! It has paid for itself in less than 12 months and I only go out maybe once or twice a week.

[obbabob]

@SuperSnoopy36 cool.

[rottonscotty]

Such anger

[rottonscotty]

You really hate that grass don't you !

[rhayward88]

You should learn to dig a sod plug. That screw driver is going to ruin a coin in VG condition... just a suggestion!!

[SuperSnoopy36]

@rhayward88

Thanks rhayward. I do dig sod plugs when I believe that the target is an 'important' coin. The Xterra gives off solid target IDs for our decimal currency here so I am confident with my accuracy in determining what is under the coil. I don't mind scratching our decimal (current) currency :) You can see in Part 2 of this hunt that I dug a plug for both the bullet and the pre-decimal coin (halfpenny). Thanks for watching!

@WeirdParkGuy

It's the elliptical HF DD Coil (5x10 i think?). In my opinion it is way better than the standard coil the MD came with.
