Went water detecting making my last rounds of the year and my excal is acting up!!! 
All of a sudden while in the water my Excal starts making a high pitched sound avery 10 - 15 seconds for no reason. Then shortly after, it was making a constant racket with no silence. I turned the threshold all the way down where normally you would not hear it and it was still constant and loud!
I brought it home, charged the battery, cleaned under the coil cover and checked for moisture in the sealed units and did not notice any. After all this it now pulstates with the high tone every 10-15 seconds again. I am going to see if I can finish an area I was at and there was at least one other I wanted before fall. I hope it lasts, sounds like I will be testing Minelab's service department.
