Thanks, I've not gotten far, been busy at work and lazy when I get home. Just took the knobs off and the o-rings look pretty good. I'll lube them up.. They all look like the one in the picture. Do you think I should replace them anyways? I just ordered the coil and headphone cable, they should be here on friday.

This may be a stupid question but is it possible to just cut the wires half way up, slip on a shrink tube, splice the wires back and slide the shrink tube up the wire instead of replacing the whole cable? I'd like to do as little as possible to get it ready for the water, but I'm worried that I may overlook something like a seal that causes the machine to flood. Edit: I just found your top o-ring inspection video. Going to do that now!

Hey I'm looking for some advice from excalibur owners on how to proceed here. I picked this up for $150, the knobs and lower shaft were broken. I ordered and installed anderson knobs which seem like they are going to work great. The dive shaft is on it right now but I'll get a new shaft here soon. The most obvious fix I need help with is the wires. The battery seems to be working fine for now, we will see once I get out on the beach. All of the connections look in good shape too. Let me know what yall think I should do to get this puppy back up to par. Thanks

I've been seeing the term iron wrap around used quite a bit lately. How do I identify this?

How do I do this? I have a couple laying around...

Try recovery speed down to 3 (on the 800) it unlocks a whole new layer of targets under the ground.

Fe2 0 always. It took me a while to make the switch but I'm happy I did.

The jack started corroding. It is chrome plated not gold plated. The audio started switching between the speaker and the headphones and eventually ended up not having any volume at all when I plugged them in. You'll love the volume on them. I'd replace the pads that go around your ear with some gel ones as they are made of foam which holds water. They just stick on and can be pulled off. Check my post history and there is a pic of what happened to the plug. Best of luck

5My pelsos and a friend of mines both broke within 6 months. 20 hours a week detecting. Would not recommend. Edit: also uncomfortable after 2-3 hours of hunting they'd hurt my ears. They are very loud though.

I'll try that thanks

Thanks. I played with the wires and the only way to get sound to the headphones is red to red, white to white and yellow to red. However the sound is so faint I can barely hear it... It's starting to look like I've bitten off more than I can chew 🤭

Can anyone help me source a good connector? Thanks.

I'll try that, I was under the assumption that it was just copper shielding.

I think I saw that video too I'll make sure to do that

By bare you mean the exposed copper wire right? Last night I connected red/red/yellow and white/white. It gave me sound but it was very faint....I'll take a crack at it again tonight. Also I'll look into grabbing a new connector as well. Once I get the connections good I am transplanting everything into the 3m peltors like joe beechnut did to his excal headphones. The LS pelsos are quite uncomfortable after a couple of hours hunting. Thanks!

I am trying to put a new connection onto my ls pelso headphones, the original connector was only chrome plated, it rusted and somehow got bent. The connector I want to use is a 90deg gold plated one that I have from another crappy pair of earbuds I got on ebay. I thought they'd have the same wires but after cutting them open they are different. The Lspelsos have a red wire and a white wire. Thr Earbud connector has a red white and yellow wire. After connecting the reds to the whites and plugging it in to the equinox there was no sound Can anyone offer any advice? Much appreciated and hh

Red blooded creatures have Hemoglobin, which contains iron. Blue blooded creatures like Arthropods contain Hemocyanin, which contains copper.

This might answer your question... I think Tone breaks and tone pitches are also different between different modes. Steve also gives a great explanation here: GLHH

Swfl has been good to me. Over $3000 in jewelry since September (started detecting in June with the simplex and August with the equinox). Weekend Warrior. Location, location, location. I find that rich people aren't so stupid with their jewelry as I thought. So I started looking for public accesses close to the top hotels. These depositors want to wear their jewelry to show off in the rich areas. They seem to be more careless. I hunt 2-3 hours before low tide, follow it down and then stay out as far as I can for as long as I can. Start with big up and downs, tightening them as you define the deposit areas. Sometimes it takes me 2 days to find a patch, sometimes I hit a ring first target. Do your research. Drive up and down the beach. Webcams and tide charts open at the same time. Just some things I do.

Yeah bracelet rung up a 7 and the ring 5. Probably stainless.

Nowhere near as spectacular as your find. Congrats. I found the ring about 2 months ago and within 20ft of where I found it, last weekend, I found the bracelet. Unfortunately mine are cartier steel ripoffs but I just thought the stories were eerily similar 😅 HH

Deleted.

Thanks ill look into it

I'm not sure how to measure it 😔
