Default Still Undecided

Thinking of pulling the trigger today and getting my new MD. Was thinking about the x-terra 705 for a good multi-use machine. Mostly going to use it at the beach and parks but would like to use it at the desert around my parents house every once in a while. I have been reading alot and there is probably not a perfect machine for me with out spending $1500. But if one was to buy two machine, which ones? I know not an easy question, but hate to spend alot of money and be disappointed.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Jeff

Jeff the 705 is a great machine. All you have to do is switch the coil and you can go from a gold machine to a dedicated coin machine. Very cool feature that no other machine has. Its like having 2 machines. Very versatile machine!

Feel free to call me and I can explain it all. Bart

What Bart said. I hunt a wide variety of conditions (everything but salty sand) and love the versatility of my X-Terra.
