I fear I might be using their services,though it’ll be warranty. I can’t get any depth worth talking about in the last 10 hunts,it’s just flat. I’m going to assemble a test garden this weekend to verify but my hunting has been stupendously bad. No registered targets more than 6-7” on the meter with the 17” coil in places I KNOW have deep signals,because I’ve dug them. A garden will help tell the story compared against the Explorer...but it’s been just terrible. I’ve been lucky to find what I have this spring,but nothing past 8” to speak of.
Good to hear the process didn’t take longer than it did,they really have stepped up that end of things.

Yes, you have contact minelab to get an authorization number and the correct shipping address. I second (and 3rd and 4th) that Keith is doing an absolutely phenomenal job. Almost everything he gets in for warranty repair is a 1 day turn-around. Actually shipping it there and back is the only delay.

Besides 900 mph wind and sleet with a side order of “&@$# that”? Nothing much,haven’t been there yet.
It’s one of two things....either the CTX is THAT GOOD where nothing else IS there,or it’s misbehaving in a way I can’t yet see,and it needs help. Keep in mind I’ve been hunting these sites for a good 6+ years with 3 machines and coils,so it may be the former rather than the latter. But I need to do the garden and proceed accordingly.At SOME point,a site is truly hunted out with the tech we have...finds get less and less and then we start doubting ourselves or the equipment,or both. I really need some other sites. I got permission on a village park here in my town last fall and picked 25 or so difficult or deep silvers since then,but now it’s dry. I know it’s been gone over in the past because of the lack of anything much in the 0-6” layer. Everything was beyond that. Sooooooo.....it could be a location issue too.
I’ll post back when I can do the testing,I’m very curious too!

My Excal is out off warranty. Would it be pointless to contact Minelab or will i still need authorization for a repair?
When diving at about 10' in depth and about 20 minutes into the dive (fresh water) the machine became very irratic with a lot of static. Think its either a loose wire or a leak somewhere.
It was working fine when wading. Had the grey ghosts hardwired a long time ago and never had a problem ....?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
