    Shark Teeth While Detecting

    Has anyone had any luck doing this? I find a few - but nothing interesting or big.

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    Thanks, I have it on a straight shaft, but it's an older one before the carbon fiber ones were readily available. I'm guessing changing shafts would save 6+ ounces, not exactly sure - but I might have spent all I want to on this old machine for the time being. Thaks for the tip on the...

    Hello from Wilmington, NC

    Sounds good! Good luck! They are completing a $13 million dollar beach rehab project this month at Wrightsville Beach. A ton on new sand was piped in, and unfortunately I expect things to be pretty slow for a while...

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    Update: I appreciate all the assistance. I decided to repair the excal ii and keep it for now. The battery cells were bad and there was a crack in the casing (tube). I ended up replacing the battery cells, replacing the damaged tubing, replacing the o-rings, replacing the cords (they were...

    Opinions??

    I was looking at new machines in December and was pretty interested in the Manticore and Deus II. I purchase an Equinox 800 mainly due to the price difference. I'm interested in a potential upgrade at some point, but for now I feel like I am set up pretty well with the 800 and I repaired my 13...

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    Thank you all for the assistance. I reached out to the detector center. They seem good, I might go that route and ship it to them to see what I'm getting into. I'm tempted to sell it for a couple hundred bucks, but I hate the idea of selling someone a problem. I'm in Wilmington, NC and...

    Congrats, those were some awesome hunts.

    I'm Back!

    I'm in the same boat - too a long break from detecting. I purchased an equinox 800 in December, I like it, but the grass is always greener... I have an old excal ii that I would like to fix, but not sure if it's worth it.

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    I have an Excal II that is roughly 13 years old. It has been sitting for several years and will not take a charge. I used it a fair amount for a few years, but we had kids and moved away from the coast for a decade, and it saw almost no use. I confess, I did not take good care of it for an...

    First Equinox Gold of 2024

    First post, I have detected on and off (mostly off) for 25 years. I took a long break (almost 9 years) after we had kids. I got the itch in December and purchased an equinox 800. I've been pretty impressed with the 800 so far, but if I'm being completely honest, I wish I had been a little...
