I hunt clearwater often, right now it is hard to find anything except clad coins. By July it will be better hunting. There is a club here SRARC, look them up on the internet and plan on coming to a meeting or two. You will meet lots of fellow hunters and become involved with Ring Hunters if you join SRARC. We hunt peoples lost items and return them at no charge. They can make a donation to the club but we hunters refuse money for what we return, but the smile on the face of someone that is returned a ring they thought lost forever is priceless.

Well I went through 3 pp switches and have a straight shaft on my Excal and tried Gray Ghost headsets but they burned my ears so now no pp switch and yellow headset but still using straight shaft. I don't find the lag to be that bad and with so many hunters on the beach now they are getting cleaner. I am worried about wireless headsets as sometimes when hunting a lost ring I have had my headset knocked off by the waves. I will have to find a way to attach them to me. I will purchase an 800 when they are ready to really get wet.

I hunt the beaches and water on the Gulf coast of Florida, I have been using an Excalibur II and love it. Is the Equinox a better choice? I hunt in water up to neck deep, wet and dry sand for the most part. Will the Equinox find small gold in the water that the Excal will miss, and is it able to find targets as deep as the Excal?
