Having Fun With My Excal 1000

I went out for my second time with my Excal 2 1000 yesterday from 6:30am to 12:30pm. This time to the state park beach on the Sound side of Long Island - where the waves aren't as bad as the Ocean side - to learn how to hunt the water. Was in the water up to mid thigh high during low tide. Finding a target was not the hard part - digging in the moving surf was - that will take practice...
Really getting to know the sounds, my game being to listen, decide what it may be, dig and discover.
Well, after digging up in excess of 30 full and partial pull tabs, 15+ rusted bottle caps, 2 dimes, 2 pennies and an old key on a round key ring - I am starting to get the hang of what to dig and what not to dig. i have been hunting in pinpoint and after finding a target switching to disc to try and "tone it out" - seems to be a good way to hunt.
i especially like the way the excal nulls out the tone when it passes over junk with the disc set to 1.
keep practicing and learning. tone memory takes time. i can't wait to hear that elusive "pickmeup" tone of gold.
