No, hows that for an answer. What I am reading there may be some that are as good under certain conditions along with the particular features that each detector offers. I believe on average the Excalibur pound for pound will hold its own to most any water detector..

You bet he did!
Gerry is right Bbizidy as certain conditions go's Excal will hold its own....Where I hunt, Low tide line is 50 yards out from the dry sand....I dont own a Excal....be nice to have one so I can used it in the wet sand with all the pull-tabs and junks are....but I like to be in the water with my PI even if I had a Excal running it in all metal, I will still used my PI in my conditions (less junks)....if you are looking to buy a detector...check out the PI's....you will have the best of both world! g/l

For depth a PI is the way to go... with my DF PI I will follow behind any VLF user including the Excal and know I will the find the deep gold a VLF/Excal can't even see... I will dig more trash but its a trade off I am willing to take... Depth is the name of the game for me in the water and wet sand and you can't beat a PI there... for trashy beaches I use the Sov GT which I feel has an advantage over the Excal because of its Iron Mask and being able to change coils... I used to run an Excal, maybe someday I will have another but right now as far as I am concerned I have the best of both worlds..
Can of worms? Nah... just opinions

I believe (as above) that the PI on the beach is the best way to go. It is deep, I have retrieved targets at 22 inches in wet sand, and about 18 inches in dry sand. I really like my Dual Surf PI. RickO
