The wife and I are here in Corolla NC for our annual two weeks of sitting on the beach and recovering from the Vermont winter. The past two years I've spent some time using my Ace250 on the beach with some sucess finding clad and artifacts but this year I borrowed a friends OLD Minelab Excalibur - I think it's one of the original ones. He bought it at a yard sale several years ago and only used it twice. I had to rig up a battery charger - he couldn't find his , if it had one. The picture is of the loot I've found the first four days here. The beach has been in nice shape with pretty deep cuts during low tide which I've been hunting hard. The Excalibur has been working great! Two nice 14k men's wedding bands and two other junk rings and 3 pounds of lead fishing weights and just a little clad coins. We're here till June 7th so I'm hoping for some more jewlery but as it is I've had a thrill of my lifetime finding these two pieces of gold! I'll say this about the Excalibur - it's a heavy mother to swing! I'm getting better at it as my arm gets used to it - but that's a small price to pay for the fun I've been having with it. I think a new Excalibur will be high on my list of things to spend my Bush money on. Also - I sure love diggin in this sand!
