    Exal II 800 today's Hunt...A/M Deep!

    I've been reading about All Metal Vs Disc 1 here. I felt that at another location, my Disc 1 setting was getting me at least as deep as All Metal. In a different location today, no way. I had very faint signals in AM that basically consisted of quick "disturbances" in the threshold, that were...

    Excal II 8" second hunt...Clad galore

    Well, went to a different beach in Maryland. Lots of clad coins in water and along the shoreline. 2 pieces junk Jewelry. The Excal II definitely gives a nice low tone on non clad coins other than nickels which have a moderately low tone. I could always tell a dime and a nickel though the...

While I am not anxious to get out in air temps of under 35 and water surface temps in mid 40s, I am dying to try a few experiments and do not want to wait for spring. I have a 4mm wetsuit, just received a...

    Xcal800 From all Metal to Discriminate: Why a Delay??

    I was working with the Excal 800 in All Metal, hitting a target, then switching to Discriminate 1 on Monday. There were times when it stayed in All metal! I checked the knob which was nice and tight, and the click was occurring toggling it to the Disc position, yet all metal threshold continued...

    Excal Battery NIMH Solution

    Onlybatterypacks.com sells a nice NIMH battery pack ($35) that can be installed in the Excal Pod so I bought one. I then decided to by a spare and also the quick charger with indicator light ( total $54) that is sold along with it. It charges the battery pack in the pod in about 2 hours and a...
