    Coil wires/headphone wires length question

    I'm wondering if lengthening my coilwire & headphone wires will have any effect on performance? I just ordered a Garrett AT gold with the thought of maybe keeping the main unit above water & running headphone/coil wires down to 30-40 ft...thoughts, experiences???

HOW GOOD is the waterproofing on...

    Best "WATERPROOF" detector for nuggetshooting?

    Between the waterproof detectors out there...Sand Shark, Tiger Shark, Infinium, Excalibur, CZ 21, etc. what have you found to work best? I need one that will work down to at least 30'.... I'm toying with the idea of building a waterproof housing for a Gold Bug...thoughts?

    4 X 7.5 Excel coil & Radio Shack 33-1253 Wireless Phones Part 1

    Both got attached to the SE today and my first impression of the Phones is that they lack the high volume that I "think" I prefer. At first I couldn't seem to get them above a whisper but finally managed to get them cranked up to an acceptable level BUT the speakers sound CHEAP & when hitting an...

    Excal coil question....:shrug:

    I'm probably getting ahead of myself here as I don't have my future detector yet, but I seen an Excal on ebay that had waterproof connectors and a WOT & standrd 10" coil. Does anybody know which series of coils would work...any of the ones made for the Sovereign is what I'm thinking???

    Since it's been slow on the forums...let me ask a few questions from you Excal users:shrug:

    I'll be getting an Excal within the next few months & have been wondering if there is a generally accepted time span for getting it serviced??? I'm talking about seals...maybe around the controls & cable fittings...I've downloaded the manual from minelab & haven't seen anything refering to...

    Nice guy...went to a downtown park & only pulled a few clads, then went to a spot closer to home where he pulled some silver out years ago...I actually did quite well for the time we were there,I managed about four quarters & a Sacagawea dollar and a few dimes. Best thing about the day though...

    Last week I headed down to capitol park with the intention of digging only 00-29 as a sort of personal experiment...Was a pretty nice day all said but as soon as I got the noise cancelling done I realized it would be a lot harder to do than I had thought...:huh:...OK I think, I'll JUST dig what...

    I'm thinking of doing that the next time I hunt capitol park in Sacramento...there are just too many signals from modern clad & think maybe I should just go in & try cherry picking...I've tried just digging anything over half way down the scale on the depth meter but that just seems to cause me...
