I have an Excalibbur 1000 and I was wondering if anyone hunts with it in Pin Point mode instead of Disc mode in wet sand or under water? Is that a more effective way to get deeper targets and does it cut down on interferance? Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

not sure about underwater but on the wet sand I would run in all metals then when you get a signal switch to disc. I have heard that all-metals goes deeper and i have also heard that disc goes deeper.... guess it depends on where your thresh is set, i have walked around in disc with the thresh just audible and only the tone changed, it wasn't repeatable with much consistency, not a whisper in all metals, and it was a dime at a little over 9 inches i would guess, with the 8" coil. hope this helps some, experiment a bit.

I'm not familiar with that unit and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but often times pinpoint mode disables automatic ground balancing, which almost all modern detectors have. This prevents the unit from tuning out faint targets, but I would think your detector would eventually drift out of tuning if it is left on too long. But as always, experimentation is the best way to figure it out. Maybe try to find a faint target in one mode and then switch to the other mode and see if it makes the target stronger of softer. Hope this helps and HH.
