Excalibur or Dual Field - in the water clean old beach???

[rogerrelics]

would like to hear from Excalibur owners who have switched to the Dual Field or still use both...

what is my learning curve going to be on the Dual Field? do you ever learn that the target is iron?

 

[Tom Slick]

There's not much of a learning curve using the Dual Field. You'll quickly learn to recognize a bobbie pin's double beep but other than that, it's dig everything and decide if it's a keeper after looking at it.

Iron has a long wide signal that is very east to pick up and ignore... if the beach is clean like you say then go with the DF... the Excal isn't going to get the depth of the DF....


wire, sparkler sticks, bobbiepins, nails have a broken stratchy signal... some guys dig them I choose not to.

Only had my DF 4 months,still dig some/alot of trash...Like Craig,Tom and CJ will tell u also ,it is a single tone with different variations in its sound...I hear them as mushy,soft musical,long with a twang,real crisp and sharp, sounds that i try to associate with certain targets,tabs,crab trap pieces, and caps will get you,but your going to dig them anyway, and if you are digging them, others aren't.....The big ring you asked about,after 2 scoops i thought i was digging a bottle cap,if it didn't come up on the third i might have given up,the target before ,5 feet away was a cap!!! Good Luck HH

have had both and found the depth to be about equal as long as the excal is used in all metal and you crank up the sens. overall the excal is more versatile.

I agree with Neil. I think my Sovereign GT is as deep as my Dual Field was and no iron! And I'm a dyed in the wool White's fan and loyal White's user for over 35 years.

I've owned both and I've kept the Excalibur. The Dual field is one nice machine too, but if I had to have only one, the Excalibur is it.

Plus, the Excalibur is a way better dry land machine. I like not digging iron when looking for gold and silver.

But why choose? Get both!
