Good news detectorists.

I have managed to purchase more stock of the very popular Minelab Summer promotions
which have officially finished. So if you are thinking about a new detector now
is a good time with the various freebies available.

Check out www.detectnz.co.nz or pop in to my showroom.

Of course it's a first in first served basis for the stock available.

Would you like to explain in simple terms the difference between the Eureka and the X-Terra 705?
Thanks

Hi Flintlock,

Sure be happy to.

The X-TERRA 705 (and the 705 Gold Pack) are both single frequency machines that can have their frequency changed by changing the coil. They are both intended for general detecting for coins etc. as well as prospecting and there is a switch button on the control box that allows you change between those options. The 705 has a waterproof coil. The 705 Gold Pack coil is only water resistant but I package a 6" waterproof coil with it as an option for NZ gold location conditions.

The Eureka Gold is a dedicated gold machine. It is multi frequency with a water resistant coil and is currently the Minelab top of the line gold machine before the GPX series Pulse Induction detectors which cost quite a bit more.

To compare in more detail of features have a look here.

Hope this helps. I will be pleased to answer any more questions you may have.
