Minelab Sovereign Elite/GT and Excalibur Forum

Hello all, I excited as I just got my new Excalibur II 1000 - can't wait to swing it. Now comes the fun part - starting to get to know the machine. I'm coming to this from an E-Trac so I'm assuming the Excal is much easier to pick up. I am hoping to get a little advice from you Veterans. I'll be using it in freshwater lakes in Michigan primarily...what settings should I start off with to get going? Thanks for the help...
