Excal mods pay

[Oldroy]

Bought an older excal on Craig's list and the first time out the pots on the volume and sensitivity were shot. So I sent it to Lost items Recovery
to check it out, he said it was repairable so I ordered a WOT coil, pinpoint switch, & Grey Ghost headphones, Dave fixed it all up and today I got out for an hour.
Dave did a great job and it all paid off with an 11.6 gram 18 kt ladies ring w/small diamonds. I can't wait to actually learn how to use the exca l.

Yes! Recovery does fine work!

Lost item recovery looks like the service station for Excals in the US. Whish I could have this service quality in Europe....

It looks like you already know how to use an Excal - that is a beautiful find!
I also have an Excal with WOT coil, and had to use a "detecting buddy" because of the weight. What type shaft are you using?

 

[Oldroy]

Its on an Anderson shaft, the balance isn't bad but the weight will take some adjusting to as I build up strength. Right now, an 1 hour & half
wears me down. I'll take a picture later & post it OBN, I have a lot to learn about this machine. The ring was just a whisper at maybe 12 inches.

Roy's setup. Maybe he'll post a updated photo mounted to his swing stick.

That's a gorgeous gold ring find, Roy!

Congratulations on great detecting with your "new" machine.

Was that out of one hole? If so very impressive.

 

[lost items recovery]

Sure was Sponge! That was the only signal for the day and was exhausting to dig all of them from the same hole and have to sort through. After 6 hrs I just wished it was a penny. Some days are just not that good I guess but there is always better day's. Oh well.

Yep i know the feeling. I had to buy a trailer and wench to get a treasure chest i found. What a ***** that was. If i knew it was so much work i would have never started this sick hobby. Miss the days of sitting and waiting for a bite. Lol
