    Question for carbon fiber handled scoop veterans.

    While I'm primarily thinking in term of the Stealth scoops, this applies to anyone that has switched over to CF on Stavr and others. Now that they've been in use for at least a few years, how do you feel about the performance of CF handles vs wood? I'm especially thinking of heavy salt water...

    Looking to support a Findmall sponsor

    I've done a boatload of searching the archives to no avail, so I'll get right to the point. Do any of the dealers that sponsor the Findmall forums sell the Ikelite cap only for the Excalbur AA battery pod?? To clarify, I'm referring to the o-ring'd cap with the two female pins and the 9-volt...

    Coil cover questions for water hunters

    If you have a moment, please check out the coil cover questions posed in this post on the mods forum http://www.findmall.com/read.php?22,1755986,1755986#msg-1755986 thanks! Spungehead (Andy in NWFL)

    Latest wisdom on coil covers, particularly for water hunting?

    Let me start by saying I've always been puzzled why some manufacturers do coils on water machines the way they do. I'm a big Minelab fan, but I don't get why they take what is essentially a half shell, throw in the guts of the coil, then fill it with some sort of epoxy (sometimes sloppily), and...

    Source for Excal battery pod ikelite end caps?..and a few other Excal questions

    I'm guessing no retailers would carry this item. Minelab is obviously no help as they don't deal in parts at all, at least as far as the average shmoe is concerned. The one I need is for my alkaline pad (the threaded portion of mine is riddled with cracks and I don't expect it to remain viable...

    Question for wiring gurus

    Say you've got an old coil from an Excalibur laying around, but the remaining wire is too short to connect to any machine (except possibly in a dive setup)? Is it at all feasible to extend that wire? Obviously it would require some serious insulating and waterproofing at the patch point, but...

    Explorer alkaline battery pack question

    Well, I was taking some dead (or close to it) AA's out of my alkaline pack last night, and as I got down to a few batteries, I heard something clanging around that I knew couldn't be good. Turned out to be one of the battery contacts from the end opposite the battery door....in fact it's the...

    FS: Coiltek WOT 15" coil for Minelab Excalibur

    This WOT was previously hardwired to my Excalibur, and 54 inches of cable remain. If you have a female connector to add, this coil can obviously also be used on a Sovereign. It is in great shape, and has only been used with the coil cover in place. Other than the minor scratches on the coil...

    Excal trouble update

    First of all, thanks for all replies. I'd tried all the obvious stuff like target volume and wiring in the field. At this point, I'm pretty sure it's the coil. Andy

    Troubleshooting question for all you Excal tech gurus

    I've encountered an odd Excal glitch/malfunction. On my most recent water hunt, the machine worked just fine the first half of the day....stopped at one point for about 30 minutes. Cranked her back up, good threshold, received my first target (coin signal), but it essentially disappeared...

    Ok, Spanish silver experts....a little help, please :)

    Wish I could say it was mine, but I'm posting this for a friend. I figure the pics are clear enough, and there should be enough left of the coin for proper i.d.'ing. Any takers?? thanks! Andy

    Question for all you Excal mechanics out there

    I have a shorting problem that I believe lies in the Ikelite plug, more specifically, the male plug (with the negative and positive posts, plus the 3rd pin that is simply for orientation) that plugs directly into the battery pod. I don't think it's in that wire or any other...I think it's in...
