Went beach hunting with my friend al "pinebarronskoko" last night to a spot he has been doing good at with his elite, I've been useing my ex II because my excal is getting a W.O.T coil hardwired to it, not only did the ex II find its first gold ring its the first 18K ring that i now have in my ring case. Also by putting some more hours on the ex II where there was a lot of targets and its easy diggin "beach" Im really getting to know what the ex II is telling me, so the next time i hit the woods for some 1800s coins i'll know what im listening for. Thanks hh johnny nj
