Ok what machines have u had in the past and how long have u been detecting? The 705 is one of the better machines on todays market. Longhorn r longhair is prolly one of the most experienced 705 users on the net. He can and prolly will help u get started. From what I have seen hes a great guy. I have been thinking maybe getting the 705 as well but idk. You may have jumped up to far of a machine with the 705 but not sayin its impossible for u to learn just will be harder for u. I went from the f4 to the f75se. HUGE step up all in the first year of metal detecting. After 1 year of using the f75se and after over 100 hrs I now can use the f75se comfortable but still lots to learn. During that 1 year I was learning the f75se I quit a few times and even put it for sale on here a few times
. one time I even put it in the corner in my room for 3 MONTHS
. All in all about 1 year later things started clicking. Glad I kept it and its been a wild great adventure. I wouldn't trade my f75 for nothing now love it. What im trying to say is its not gonna be easy and sometimes not fun but learn the 705 and then u have one of the best metal detectors in the world. But if u decide to take a step r 2 down and downgrade please let me know I may buy it from ya! HH and u have a AWESOME machine that I would love to have and learn. GL
