    Wireless headphones on Excal just for wading?

    Has anyone seen this done? I have several Excals and one needs a headphone repair and I wonder if a wireless setup is possible?

    Excal 1000 headphone problem on one side

    Just noticed my right side headphone is quiet and I am just hearing sound thru the left headphone speaker. The right side is the one with the main headphone cable going to it. They are the original blue headphones. While I was on the beach I fiddled with a couple of things and I think when I...

    Scoop assist handle

    We've come up with a clamp on assist handle that allows me to dig one handed without bending my back. I dig using my left arm, I'm right handed. It's marine grade aluminum and the leverage and height of the handle is like picking up a suitcase. You use mostly your leg muscles. The low center...

    $1 coin on the beach

    Using my Excal 1000 with a SEF 12 x 15" coil I was just leaving the wet sand and heading to the staircase and got a hit in pinpoint. I switched to disc and got a high squeally tone and I thought a shallow quarter. In one scoop I pull out a coin that appears to be a goldish bronze color. I think...

    Can anybody repair a Aquapulse mag?

    This is a early prototype for the DX200,300 series. I think the switch went bad. I've heard without the schematics and the specs for voltage, amps and frequency it can't be repaired. It comes with a 45 inch probe and land use Aquascan headphones. It's unique in that it has a 4 prong connector...

    Anyone familiar with Aquapulse circuit board?

    This is an older version of the Aquapulse underwater metal detector. It came with a 45 inch probe with a 4 prong plug which seems unique. A knob is missing which I believe is the audio knob and internally that knob is sealed off. The circuit board seems to be modified because a smaller PCB is...

    Ever put a 180 meter on a Excal?

    Is it even possible? I like my XS2 Pro with the 550 meter. Is that crazy? I have a Excal 1000 with the SEF 12x15 swappable coil and pin point switch but I was wondering about wading with the Excal with a meter. If I put the Sovereign SEF 10x12 coil with a 180 meter on the Excal is it possible...

    XS 2 Pro old school

    I started using a XS2 Pro with the unloved BBS 1000 coil and 550 meter. I kind of like it even though the coil is a little heavy. I hip mount the box or sometimes use a around the neck strap with a secondary strap around my chest with a pouch I got from a thrift store. I also printed out a copy...

    My recent MX5 experience

    I was visiting Miami and decided to go dry sand metal detecting at Crandon beach park on the causeway to Key Biscayne. My girl friend and I were there Monday afternoon and I thought great the Monday after the holiday weekend. Well after zigzagging down the beach about a 100 yards and back...

    Another lost ring help request Melbourne Beach, Florida

    I appreciate all the very nice comments I received on my recent ring recovery and it led to another lost ring help request. The only difference is this ring was lost at Spessard Holland SOUTH beach park and it was 3 weeks ago. Yikes. The owner gave me his contact info and a description of the...

    Lost ring recovery help Melbourne Beach, Florida

    I was dry sand metal detecting late yesterday afternoon at Spessard Holland North beach with my White's MX5 and small scoop when a young Chinese lady approached me and asked if I could help find her ring. She led me down towards the water and I said to myself oh-oh. She was playing Frisbee with...

    I wanted my scoop to dig like a shovel

    I got tired of my scoop's lips wearing out/bending/flexing etc . So I had an idea that a digging edge like a shovel was needed. That would be tempered steel. I had a cheap shovel from Harbor Freight that was about the right size. Cut off the blade (relatively easy) tried to drill holes (near...

    Had to fix my scoop

    After 6 months of heavy use digging the wet sand of Florida's east coast I had to get my scoop handle reinforced. Where the handle met the reinforcing truss about 4 inches above the bucket I was getting a stress fracture in the handle. The welder/manufacturer did a nice reinforcing job adding...

    My first ring says $

    I've been beach detecting for 6 months now and found my first ring. I detect the Florida treasure coast and stay with beaches with potentially older shipwreck items. It appears to be copper. I guess it's a cracker jacks prize or a gumball machine trinket. Maybe it's a Vegas stripper toe ring ...
