Finally got out early this morning to test out the new Excal my wife bought me a few weeks ago for turning the big Five - O. Up until today I spent a lot of time reading threads and doing as much research as I could. I ended up ordering a Plugger three piece travel shaft and a Sunspot Stealth scoop.
I couldn't ask for a more beautiful morning. Fresh air, nice and cool...
I'm used to swinging a Deus and had no real experience with a real beach/water detector, so I spent most of my time getting familiar with the machine. The beach was really quiet. I was expecting to hit all kinds of trash. After playing around in pinpoint and disc modes, I quickly learned to trust the discrimination. This machine is spot on weeding out the trash. I dug those iron tones anyway just to see what was in my scoop. Yes that is a 10" coil.
The balance of the carbon fiber Plugger straight shaft is incredible. With the controls mounted behind the elbow....I could literally swing this all day with no problem. Although the Stealth looks huge, it is really light and made digging a real pleasure! While detecting, I just rested it on my shoulder. Didn't even feel like it was there.
My last target was the creme dela creme.
When I returned my wife asked "what did you find?". I told her "you can't put a price on fun". LOL
Happy Hunting.

, they will start plucking on you like a chicken going after feed howboutit , atleast put a few scratches on the stealth 
Your best bet for good finds is hunting the lowtides.. depending on the beach 2 to 3 hours on the outgoing and incoming are best...
PS maybe his buddy Swing can make a Craig coin just 4 him, i wonder what would be on it Felix, maybe other member's could post some idea's Howboutit 
PS don't be scared , feel free to post , as he grow's softer every day
