Traded for Like New Excal II but not near ocean anymore.

Any good for lake and river in Central CA? Got it in trade in like new condition. Anderson shaft and knob guard. I have a Nox 800 and MXT All Pro already. Will the Excal be a good fresh water option or should I just consider selling? Hate to see almost $1800 (with upgrades) sitting in my closet.

USE IT! I have had one for 3 years and only do fresh water.

I second what Steve says! I've used mine in saltwater, but I've used it a heck of a lot more in freshwater lakes and rivers...

I’d keep it and use it in your area of California. Perfect for those ice cold lakes. Good luck!

I've only used it in saltwater once the rest of theme it's been in lakes and it does very well in them. I also have bought the Nox 800 last year and wish I could say I've learned all its ins and outs. It does hit much smaller targets, but the Excal once you learn what the tones are telling you is a much easier detector to develop skills on.
That's my two cents.
