Just got back from South Beach Florida. Only got to spend 2 days detecting and it was extremely windy. I worked the wet sand the first day and only found clad coins about $3.00 worth. Hunted in the water the best I could the next day and took a terrific beating. The waves were beating me on the back while the undertow tried to pull me from shore. I used my Excaliber 2 the first day and my DetectorPro HHPI w/ 8" coil the second day.Both detectors worked real well. I did manage to find one gold ring with the PI real deep, but some how lost it,how I don't know how. That was it, nothing on the dry sand but a small junk chain & and a non-gold earring. I only ran into one other hunter who told me that summer was the best time to hunt. While I was hunting in the water a man came up and said he had lost a silver ring a few minutes ago and showed me the approximate location. I got a few signals, but was being blown off the targets. Dug a few targets which turned out to be bottle caps. It was a learning experience and I enjoyed learning my machines. It was my first time out with my Excaliber2 with the new MGM headphones. They worked great. Had to turn down the volume to almost the off position to avoid getting my head blown off. They really amplify the targets. They also filter out almost all of the background noise. I am very happy with them.
