the only other thing you might consider are the new books out about the excal 11 by andy sabasch
the ear training cd is very good to use before going to a hunt.
ive had my machine for about a year now and love it, im about to change the headsets tho, the ones that come stock after awhile at beach
wear out your ears..other than that just practice practice

Mine is set up with a Lightning Rod, from Joe Demarco (Demarco Detector Sales). I have used Anderson (CZ21) before, it is a good shaft. I am running Gray Ghost Underwater headphones too. Great mod, but it voids the warranty, if you install them. Minelab no longer will perform the installation. Also Clive James Clynick's (AKA cjc) latest 2 Excal books are excellent resources. The CD may help, but don't trust it as the gospel, there is WAY too much variation in tones of the different targets, to go by it totally, but it wil help. When a target is not laying perfectly flat, it will sound much different. Actual in the field experience, is the best practice.

any good straight shaft will work fine......................just remember to flush it out often with fresh water and dis-assemble often or the lower fiber rod will seize in the upper alum. shaft and u will be hating life to try and get the 2 apart.

u will need a nice sturdy kick ass scoop for the holes u are getting ready to dig toooo.........the bigger the better if u are kinda young.
