[QUOTE="LORD, post: 530664, member: 7670"] I would say the GM is another class above the 705 so definitely worth the investment if you would like to target gold. It will find the tiniest of peices, .01 is very achievable and I have found several of these, not sure of depth on a larger gold target, seen 2.5g at 150mm approx and it was screaming. As already mention you cant trust the decrimination too much, all the tiny gold which will likely be 99% of the monsters gold finds tend to flick between ferrous and non ferrous in my experience, not until it's out of the dirt that its reading likely gold. Having said that I dont dig full loud iron signals so I do discriminate a bit I guess If you haven't already watch a few of LDC Gold on YouTube, he kills it with the monster. Honestly you would be very lucky to find gold with the 705, it's hard enough with better machines. Monster, if the grounds not too mineralised will find gold if it's there. Noisy bugger though [/QUOTE]
