    Water Proof For Boot Cam?

    Just wondering if anyone has ever pulled their plantar facia muscle uner their foot? I did on the Cape about three weeks ago, and have one of those full boot cams on my left leg, almost up to my knee. Anyway I could water proof this? If I get her wet, too much sand and it will smell for ever...

    Understanding

    A couple of questions, at least. I'm having a struggle understanding this machine, Wow. 1) First, if I'm using the set Coin Mode with with no adjustments to discrimination, am I nulling out or missing any jewellery? I read this mode is based on hundreds of various coins, just wondering about...

    E-Trac Newbie

    Sure this question has been asked a ton on this forum. Haven't been out yet as it's finally winter here in Buffalo, NY. Received the detector about 2 weeks ago. I have the Excal 2. I've been reading the manual? Should I just turn on and go for a while, get used to the machine, or try any...

    Settings for Land Excal 2

    This is what I have been running on land for the Excal 2. Discrimination at 1, sens auto, disc on instead of pin-point. The ground here in Buffalo doesn't have much mineralization. I've tried switching back and forth between pinpoint, disc when I find a target, but haven't found that it helps...

    Excaliber on Land Update

    After about 20 hours on land, all in old parks, here is the update. Probably 20 wheaties, indian head, v nickel, and one 10K class ring, old. Dug almost every target, lot lot lot of work. At least 500 caps and pu;; tabs and slaw. My overall impression is that you will find gold, with alot of...

    One More Comment

    One more comment and then I'll keep quiet for a whie. Is anyone actually using the Excal 2 on land and finding deep silver, gold etc. I know people on the forum have said the Soverign is the exact machine but not water proofed, but again, just wondering if anyone is using the actual Excal 2 on...

    James ND and Excal 2

    James, tried the Excal today again in my old park. Tried with pin point on but it was so weird as I always hust in the water with the Excal in disc, I finally switched over to this. Not sure how much the meter helps with the Soverign, but obviously Excal doesn't have one. Went at a creep, found...

    Excal on Land

    Took the Excal to a favorite park I used to coin hunt. Definitely not for coins. 67 targets dug in two and a half hours. A few nickels, and pennies, all new, the rest bottle caps, pull tabs. There are lots of wheaties, indians, and silver in this park, ground was soaked. At least I know now...

    Fort Erie Beach Canada

    Anybody on the forum try detecting this area? Incredible history, 1885 to 1930, and then closed. Had a casino, the world's largest dance floor, and world's largest outdoor swimming pool. http://wnyheritagepress.org/photos_week_2005/erie_beach_park/erie_beach_park_1.htm Des in Buffalo

    Impressions of Excaliber 2 on Land

    Took the Excal to a park I used to pull oldies out of before my land machine was stolen. Did pick up a v-nickel, but you would have to dig more or less every target with the machine. Don't think its a problem as far as breaking anything. Might use it the rest of the season on land and just clean...

    Excaliber 2 For Land Hunting??

    Posted this on the Excal forum as well. I noticed in the Excaliber 2 manual they describe the machine as a dry land machine as well. Hard to believe. Don't think I'll try it, just wondering if anyone has ever tried the Escaliber 2 on dry land, not dry beach?? Is it productive? Des Curran

    Excaliber 2 for Land Hunting???

    Just happened to be looking at my manual again and noticed Minelab describes the Excaliber 2 as both a land and water machine, land meaning not just beach. Has anyone ever hunted with the Excaliber for coins on dry land? Hard to believe the machine would be productive for this kind of hunting...

    Taveling with the Excal 2

    Hey people. I'm traveling to Cape Cod Mass this week on a plane, usually drive. Haven't flown with the machine. Going on Jet Blue. Should I disassemble the entire machine in the box, or ask if they'll let me bring it on the plane. I have a carrying case from my Beach Hunter ID that's padded, but...

    Found and then LOST Tough day at Beach

    Had terrible luck this morning. Finally found my first real quality ring this summer, 18kt men's band, real big on my finger. Put it in my Mind Lab pouch that came with the Excaliber 2, hunted another hour. Coming off the beach to look at this beauty and she's gone! Spent another 2 hours trying...

    Digging Tool for Rocks and Clay

    I have found a promising site but had to leave lots of targets as I couldn't get my Miller's Scoop into the ground at this beach. I'm bringing a shovel along next time. Any suggestions on a better tool to get through real hard ground, clay and rocks? Des in Brooklyn
