Hello to everyone. New to the site and to the game. Started about 3 weeks ago beach detecting with Excalibur II, 8" coil.
Needed a new hobby after rotator cuff surgery. I have used metal detectors years ago, nothing as good has this though.
Spent many hours reading forums before purchase and am happy with purchase so far.
I have spent the last 9 days going to area beaches and spend average of 4-5 hours at a time.
Started running in PP and digging everything to try and match tones to metal. I then started changing from PP to Disc after hitting target.
After more reading I gather I am asking for trouble by breaking the switch?
Compared targets in PP and in Disc, PP would hit and Disc would miss on deeper stuff, thats why I like running PP.
I have hunted dry sand, wetsand, and very little in ocean so far.
I would love to have the PP mod, but have to wait for Warranty to run out.
I have learned a ton reading post here, Gel seals for the headphones, reading the beach, coin lines, etc.
What book would be recommended for beach/ shallow water detecting to help increase finds ?
Thanks for all the help
