Yesterday, some beaches on the Treasure Coast (Fl) were cutting well. However, the sand was pretty soft.
My excal was set up with the threshold just buzzing in the background, sensitivity set to the highest and discrimination to the lowest setting.
When I was swinging (slowly) from wet to dry and back, the excal would make a series of high/low pitches. I found that to be annoying so I switched to all metal (Very little trash on the beach that day).
When I would get a hit, i would set it back to disc to see if it was iron or something else.
So my questions are:
1) Does the all metal (pinpoint) setting go deeper than the disc. setting?
2) Is this a good way to use the excall II or am I missing something?
