Well, I had to send the Excal in for repair..... Couldnt be at a WORSE time... So now I only have the MXT with the 6x10 DD coil..
I am going to try weighting the coil down with a piece of bike inner tube filled with wet sand and tie-strapped to the shaft just above the coil..
I should then at least be able to hit knee deep and shallower if the waves are small... I am so bummed, I hope that Minelab gets right on it.. I talked to two ML managers yesterday, and they said they hired two extra repair people, so it could possibly be done within two weeks of them receiving it (they should get it today)...
Going to miss a big window of the gold season...
