Guys: I was out playing with my new excal 2 in the yard tonight. I tried switching between pinpoint and disc modes to get a feel for the different signals when hunting. I found that the pinpoint mode was easier to discern targets with then switched to disc to see if they were iron. My question is what mode are you hunting in at the beach and lakes? Do you regularly hunt in discrimination mode or pinpoint mode? I plan to hunt the lake soon if it warms up this weekend to learn the new Excal. Lots of loot to you!!
