So I went to the beach yesterday and when I got there I found that my excal is dead. Not even a chirp. So I spent today trying to figure out what happened to it with no luck.
So I took my CZ-21(that I want to sell) to the same beach... Before I continue let me explain how I hunt the beach:
I go up and down the beach in sections. When I come to one end of the section I turn around and swing over half of the portion that I just walked by. This makes me cover the the same area 1.5 times. Last time I went to the beach I went over the same area once more just to make sure that I got everything. In the the same area I got no new targets after an hour I moved on. So in total I covered particular area of the beach of 3 times with the excal...
Today I decided to go over the same area. Only 1 day has passed since I last went over the area and did not find anything new. Below are the pictures of the finds that the excel missed 3 times! I also got trash which is not in the pictures.
Excal vs CZ-21
The difference between excel and the CZ-21 I feel like it picks up smaller and deeper targets. Also the it has a great feature that can detect a large metal object and sound a special tone. So for the first time today I had no aluminum cans or half cans. With the excal I had to dig deep to find a can which would fill my junk finds bag really quick. The pin point feature on the CZ-21 is a lot more accurate and actually works as a pin pointer. This is great on land but also critical when in the water where you cant really see the bottom or waves are hitting you.
My CZ-21 does not fit on my bike rack because of the different design so I do have to sell it. Otherwise I would stick to using it from now on.
