excal II - 3 bleak hours in the lane today - maiden spin

[GraveDiggerMax-VaBch-Va]

hit the lane today around 2pm

lane was sunny
some wind
some sand blowing
50* or so

that is the good stuff, now for the spin
.

.
the excal II is easier to swing, due to the dia. of the new coil

i did not carry any targets with me, figured i would find enough to get a feel for it - W R O N G
.
.
the few items i did find seemed different to me-----------maybe muffled like, but no more than i found, it is hard to really say for sure, i am off wed.----------weather permitting i will give it a better test

i will say it seems to discriminate bottle caps better, i moved up to the dry stuff so i could at least find some of those. the tiger shark i had for a spell was really good on bottle caps as far as discrimination goes.

i could run the sensitivity at around 11 and it seemed pretty smooth - 11 now on the lime job is like - 7

that is it

That's the difference between the old blue Excal headphones (which your experience is with) and the "new and improved" yellow headphones, which are quite different from the blue..."muffled" being the PERFECT word for it. I have heard both and the blue are many times better sounding than the yellow...to me and several others I have spoken with.

So what you basically have is a "late-model" Excal I (yellow headphones) with the new Excal II graphics and a better coil and battery. Which is not a BAD thing at all.

Now if they would just go back to the old blue headphones (or better yet, some Grey Ghost waterproof ones!) and add a nice straight shaft to it they would REALLY have something!
