Thanks to my fine friends at Detector Depot in Knoxville TN, I received my brand spanking new Excal II today!!!
It has been almost 4 months of a wait but Kristi pulled some strings for me and, like an 18 karat tone, she came thru loud and clear!!!
After the demise of my old Excal, there will be a learning curve. According to my air tests, this one has some different tones from my old Excal. It may be the headphones. I was running GrayGhosts on the old one. I will use the stack Koss headphones so as to not void the warranty. It seems to discrim pulltabs better but I will need to boost the threshold to detect necklaces, something I used to do with my old Excal anyways...
Tomorrow will be my first time out. Terri and I will go to the beach in the afternoon for 2-3 hours. The unit is nearly fully charged and I am chomping at the bitt!
Wish us luck!
