    Xcal coil cover

    I know a lot of the dirt diggers want the coil covers or use bed liner and epoxy as a replacement. The coil on my Explorer is very durable, but i opt to keep a cover on it when dirt digging. Now on a beach where you are constantly having to clean it i dont. My question is about the Xcal...

    Xcal sensitivity

    Ok guys i noticed today i cant make my Xcal chatter in MAX sensitivity in wet sand. It will if you hit it on the sand very hard and occasionally when the coil is lifted at the end of a long swing. I tested a couple of found targets in the wet sand..... one was a clad dime at 10 inches. i...

    Beach hunting conditions

    Just curious as to what you think makes good beach hunting conditions? Ive been hunting for the past month here in Fl. now that ive moved here and putting in a lot of hours. I was doing pretty good...... then bam the beach changed. In a week the beach went from a fast slop with a deep 3...

    One gold ring

    Hunted for about 4 hours in the water today. Man ive got a lot to learn. Not having trouble with the Xcal tones as much as getting used to using the scoop. Its like a balancing act while being hit by waves of water. The scoop goes in sweet on the wet sand..... but out there in the shells...

    Sov upper shaft on Xcal

    Got someone to send me a Sov upper shaft that i wanted to put on my Xcal to replace the S shaft. I opted NOT to drill more holes at the bottom, instead turned the holes to the side for additional adjustments. At the top the cuff hole were now on the top/bottom. I put bolts thru these...

    Hip mount

    Ive got a good setup with the Xcal hip mount ive put together. I saw another one where they pistol mounted it (hanging down there leg from the web belt). I tried it today on mine ... adjustments were easier if you needed to, but bending down or in the water there appeared to be a lot of...

    Water gloves

    Just curious if anyone is using some sort of water gloves like dive gloves or something. If you get in and out of the water i noticed the ole hands can really take a beating from the sand carrying that scoop around. I know the rubber ones you use for dirt digging dont work ..... the salt...

    Detector Pro Head Hunter

    Ok guys what do you know about the Head Hunter? My son wants a detector for the beach for around $300 he doesnt know if he will like the hobby..... but hes very interested. Ive got a couple of detectors and he can barrow one for sand digging.... but he would prefer to pay his own way and...

    Xcal hip mount

    Some one wanted to see my Xcal hip mount that i put together. I was lucky to have an Anderson knob protector with SS bolts so i used them instead of nylon. Just a small piece of PVC pipe with a spring clip and added a cable holder with SS bolt as you can see on the D ring to keep the cable...

    3 hour tour

    Started about 1 today and thought i was going to get in the water..... but it was just to choppy and i was to lazy. So i decided to hit the wet and dry sand around the towel line. About an hour in i started finding earrings. The one pair is nice marked 925 and TNA1 what ever that mean...

    Jewelry numbers

    Since ive moved to Florida im doing a little water hunting with the Xcal. I scored a ring today that i believe is stainless steal. I ran it across the SE and it reads a constant 12 01 .... a number i normally wouldnt dig in say a park. Then someone sent me a chart of some of the jewelry...

    Got a ring and whats it

    Thought i was going to get a good day at low tide today but the weather made them close the beach on me after only an hour. When i got there there was already an Xcal in the water so i waved and moved down the beach hitting the wet sand and water line. It wasnt long until the Xcal hit this...

    Sov and Xcal rod

    I thought you guys might know. I have an Xcal and needless to say wonder why it didnt come with the Sov straight shaft. To me that would make sense and save ML money by only making one shaft. Plus you dont have to buy an aftermarket shaft. Is it possible to put the upper part of the Sov...

    Scoop handle/Xcal mount

    I got my RTG scoop the other day and didnt realize they make them with a handle down low. Started searching around and found the BACK SAVER at (Sorry Edit ) Seems to be just the ticket, light weight nylon and sturdy for $10. Also im going to use a camel back to chest mount my Xcal box...

    Sand Scoop

    Got my RGT 7" scoop yesterday. Just curious has anyone ever tried adding some of that insulation foam down the tube to make it float a little? Nasty stuff.... but surely some one has tried it. Ive been told to use a divers belt and attach a D ring, rope, and brass ring to the scoop when in...

    WTB: Water machine

    Dealers im looking for a water detector under $1000. Looks like my budget wont get me an Excal or a CZ so maybe a DF will be the right fit for my location. PM me and let me take a look at the machines you my be offering that you will be willing to stand behind. Dew

    Great day at the beach

    Just moved to Florida and had my first day on the beach with my Explorer. Thought id try the slimline since i have almost never used it. Ive always used the SEF. Left the settings the same and that thing chatters something fierce. I was hoping to get a little better read on smaller items...

    Target graph

    I found these graphs to be very interesting during a resent discussion about the E and the Exp. Obviously the ability of the two machines will differ on deeper coins. But i think you can see why some of us who feel they have learned the Exp have stayed with it. Use these values...
