    Is it normal for my excal II control knobs to be real stiff to turn? I purchased it new and it has been like this since day one? Anything I can do to make them feel a bit smoother or easier to turn? It feels like the want to twist off them instead of turn the potentiometer? Will it loosen...

    Labor Day loot. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed:bouncy::cam:

    Decided to hunt the 2:50pm -0.3 low tide I was in the water by 2pm and chased out by 2:30 by lightning. Back in by 3pm slim pickings was the best way to describe it. I bet I traveled an easy mile detecting and never found the gold or silver. I did manage to snag a free dollar bill floating by...
