Hello everyone! I am so excited, I finally got my metal detector. After retiring 7 years ago and finally convincing my wife to let me get a metal detector (it only took 5 years to do this), she agreed. So for my 50th birthday which is not until June, but who's counting, I ordered an received an Excalibur II from Kelly co. I can't wait to get out there. The unit is charging as I type this. I've done a lot of research / reading on the subject and hope I have learned enough to have a good go at it. I just joined the site, but have been reading some of the posts for a while, but any advice or help would be appreciated. I am in Sarasota Florida and have several beaches to search on.

Thanks
Mike
 
You have a GREAT machine and the Minelab thread on this Forum has some top notch users. Visit there and get some helpful tips. You have a very deep seeking machine and will get the silver.

Please come back and post your finds. No matter how meger. Its great that your excited. DON'T get discouraged. There is a lot out there to find!!
 
The Excal and Excal II are the most highly rated water machines currently affordable for recreational water detecting.

The key to remember is to go slow, dig everything until you learn what the machine is telling you.

One of our customers recovered and received over $3,000 from a smelter for the gold jewelry he found and sent in from his BHID and Excal II finds. He also found a ring appraised at $18,000 that his wife is now proudly wearing.

Hopefully you'll wear out a digital camera posting photos of all your terrific finds.
 
This is a win win for me. I love the beach, I'm also a semi pro photographer, so I can practice some still shots with the finds I get and hopefully pay for the machine within a year.
 
Exactly why does anyone need to buy and use a water detector when water is so danged easy to find.

Good lord it comes right out of the faucet in my home!!! Is water so rare that we need to detect for it?

If it rains, should I be collecting it in buckets? Who buys it? What is the market price?

Help me out here, I'm lost. :wave:
 
Butch, just ask the ceo of Zephyrhills. I buy water all the time from them, the water in Florida sucks if it's right out of the faucet. If someone had told me 30 years ago, people would be buying water, I'd of died laughing. :) I just wish I would of had the vision, I'd be laughing all the way to the bank :)

... called "Dancing With The Dorks". I think he won a years supply of either Depends or Viagra, I can't remember which. You'll have to ask Butch.
