A total of four hours of beach hunting and less then a handfull of clad, just a few lose coins, that was my total take on two seperate trips to the beach, it just didn't make sense given all the ground I'd covered. To complicate the issue I was using an Excal with WOT, a setup that always locates a lot of targets, yet in my last two outings it had hardly popped more then a dozen tones. This is a machine that is always dialed in and its knobs are always at the same settings, they are never changed, it's one of those personal routines that you can always count on.
Back up six months, to the last time this machine was used, to those last moments it was used during one of those after the hunt tailgate tutorials. There we were, standing at the back of the vehicle playing with the controls to see how high we could set the machine in order to miss all the buried tin cans and shredded aluminum and still stand a chance of picking up a few coins. "Heck with it!" The excal went back in the vehicle and was never used again until my last two trips at the beach. Now move forward again, to my last two outings at the beach.
I never even bothered to check the machine's settings, no sense in it since the normal routine was never adjusting the darn thing from it's preferred settings. But I gotta tell you, if you set this machine in pinpoint with the sensitivity turned all the way down and the disc set at about the 13 - 14 notch.........."You're going to have a real nice stroll at the beach but you're sure not going to find much!"
Du.......
