Does anyone know the dry sand equivalent to theExcall2? MineLab of course.

I'm thinking of selling the BHID and getting the above.

My Excall is in for repair, it is going haywire. Strange because I've had it for 20 months with absolutely no problems. The other day it just went off to another world. Turn around time for repairs?

TIA

It took Minelab 3 weeks to have it back to me when I shipped 1 of mine off last time. Which was great cause last year it was 3 months.Treasure Hunter shipped his off recently and it was about a month before he got it back (I think).

I have learned to always have a spare. :laughing7:

I think the Minelab Sovereign GT is the Beach machine you may want to look at it.
 
The original ML Sov is the is the same circuit as the Excal
 
Thanks guys.
 
YEP, SOV, if it was waterproofed I would sell my excal.
 
Any Sov, Xs,Elite,Gt :tongue3:
 
yepper, my excal 2 is in the shop also.dont think they are going to fix it.may have to use it in paperweight mode i had 2 other excal 1000s and thats all they were good for.i owned 3 and none of them were any good and all i bought brand new!every other detector ive owned found way more gold than all of the excals put together.and i use any detector with the same determination as the next.they have to do something real special for me to even think about getting another minelab.
 
oh sorry,about the rant!! the answer to your question would be the nautilus
 
Ralph,

As you know I live in Venice as you do. I sent my Excalibur II to minelab for repairs about 4 weeks ago. Haven't gotten it back yet.

If they accidentally send it back to you - let me know.

Right before I sent the Excalibur in for repairs, I let a friend use my BeachHunter 300 during a visit, an upon return there was a problem with a cable connector, so I sent it in for repairs.

Which means at the moment, both detectors in for repairs, and only have the Ace 250 to detect with.

Not a problem as the rain is keeping me off the beaches anyway.

As far a good sand (and water) detector, I still vote for the BeachHunter 300.

It would seem that the repair folks must be going batty.
I wonder what the problem with quality control is anymore. It seems to be gone.

Oh well.
