    Excal O rings question

    Hello all. I did some searches on the excal 1000 o rings. Easy to find size for upper o ring that is just under the tuning knobs. But, what about the inside the unit, lower I guess you’d call them. Are they the same size as the upper ones. Looked at mine and noticed 2 were split. Any advice...

    Best non diamond find in 25 years

    Hey all. Been a couple years since I’ve posted. Fire wasn’t in me like it used to be. Got the fire back today and great part was I had a friend along on his first water hunt with an Equinox. Less than an hour in it happened. Never have I seen anyone wear such a necklace. Couldn’t believe my eyes...

    carbon fibre scoop handle

    And make sure the scoop is light and strong as well. I have a stavr scoop from the Ukraine. Not sure if he still sells/makes them but it is absolutely wonderful.

    carbon fibre scoop handle

    It is phenomenal. I’ll never go back to wood or metal. Spend the extra bucks, you won’t be sorry.

    Who makes a waterproof 4 pin connector that requires no soldering. Thanks.

    My soldering is really, really bad. And my coil chord wires are in a bad way.

    Anyone know where to find the waterproof headphone plug that connects to circuit board

    Hello all, been killing deer all fall and detecting has been on hold. Now it’s time to do some maintenance for the spring. Anyone know where to purchase the waterproof end cap that connects to the circuit board on a 1000 so I can attach some new headphones to it. Mine are toast. Thanks. Good...

    Don’t throw away that black encrusted silver

    The pics are of several rings and a necklace. All were heavily encrusted. Takes some time, but using various methods one can make that silver new again. I use several methods depending on how bad each piece is. Methods I use on the bad stuff are converting a charger into an electrolysis...

    Typhoon Jebi helps me out to a little bit of everything

    Typhoon went through Osaka Tuesday. Bridge to airport smashed into by tanker, runway underwater, terminal flooded. Been on hold waiting to fly home ever since. Decided to give the same beach I went to on Saturday another go. 4 gold, 1 platinum, and I kept 8 silver rings, threw away 12 junkers...

    Found a quote that I changed and had to share

    The charm of metal detecting is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. John Buchan

    Matty fixed my excal and Japan finds

    Got one of my xcals back recently from Matty St Germain. Excellent work. Thanks and good to go. Took it with me to Japan for a layover. Day one only had three hours but the silver was everywhere. 27 rings and only one gold. By the way, when my xcals were in the shop I took my surfmaster PI to a...

    Heat shrink on excal coil wire

    Say my coil wire was starting to get brittle. I know I need to replace it, but it won't be until this winter when the master fixers on this forum are free to work their magic. Would heat shrink wrap possibly give me a little extra time. If so, I know the coil wire is 6mm. Any suggestions on...

    Info on how to wire a new tornado coil with all black wires?

    Hi all. Received my NEL tornado coil and wouldn't you know it, all the wires, all of them are black. Anybody got a link to figure out which wires go to the black, yellow, white, and red that come from my Excalibur control housing. Thanks to all.
