Another Dry Sand Hunt with Excalibur II

[Goldak]

Hello, I went back to a big sand dune along the west coast last weekend. The week before, I had a good hunt with the Excal 2 there and found 3 rings along with about ten dollars in clad. I'm really starting to enjoy dry sand hunting more since I started using the Excal about 6 months ago. In the past I have mostly hunted the water and wet sand but with the Excal I will be adding a lot more dry sand hunts to my schedule as well.
The more I use the Excal, the more I have been leaving it in the "disc" mode. At first I was switching back and forth between "disc" and "pinpoint" so much that I was sure that I would wear out the switch in a few months. With practice I am able to pinpoint much better in "disc" than when I first started and I am getting better depth now as I am understanding the sounds better.
Another thing I like about hunting in "disc" is that the coil seems to cover a much wider area and I can move a little faster like I am accustomed to. In "pinpoint", I feel that I have to be right on top of the target to hear it and if I don't move really slow the target is easily missed. HH!

You may not have had as good a hunt this time as you did last week,
but you still found quite a bit of clad and pull-tabs. The sand dune is
in better shape thanks to your efforts. LOL Gold Nuggets
BTW...nicely done video.

Wow, you're right, great view at the end. Makes me wish Summer was here.

How many days left 'till Spring?

Get down in the water with that Excal. Mountain climbing with a detector can be hazardous to you health.

Thanks everyone! Dig, I'm looking forward to some water hunts myself. Next week I'm in the wet sand or the lake. Send some of your magic my way! HH!
