Reluctantly. :D

Blew out my digging arm almost a year ago ... lifetime of abuse. Figured I would try to extend it's usefulness in the future, after surgery, with less hole digging.

You will enjoy the discrimination. I am done with PIs for now until they come out with one that really blows away excal/cz21 in low mineralization environments. At least where I am on the east coast a PI just isn't worth it...except maybe the TDI Pro but of course its not waterproof

I cant believe my eyes......... the Guru going VLF??? From one Dew to another, pick up a used blue. Consider $1200 for new because if you want it moded...... there goes the 1 year warranty anyway. You being a PI guys, you will want a PP switch which for you will make it a piece of cake. I seen one recently moded on a forum classified.......$750 i think. Even if there is anything wrong...... say a coil..... $350 max and everything is then gone over and pressure tested. Ive had almost NO repair costs with the blues and they arent nearly as chatty especially in the surf. GL out there buddy. Also...... consider FL state tax.

If Minelab repair center at Kellyco does the mods your warranty is still good through them... If anyone else does it warranty is voided plus you run the chance of them butchering your motherboard and costing you even more money...

With this being the case, a straight shaft modification to your Excal will put a whole lot less stress on your swinging arm.

Greetings and Salutations fellow gold seekers!

I am looking for suggestions on a reputable dealer for an Excal.
I know they're unable to put their "special" pricing in writing due to
contractual issues, so those in the know, please let me in on the know.

Best wishes and golden scoops!

Guess you already went through Treasure_Hunter,, but there was one more option ( for an ole Vet like myself or some of you younger vets), I used my Military VA card, which I sent copy to Kellyco via printer scan, and got 10% off total price.( wife said it was 15%, one or the other for sure.)
Kellyco really has stepped up to the plate on this discount with Veterans and I salute them for it. Thank you Kellyco !!
