[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 377084, member: 11576"] I personally haven't used one myself but have read every review known to man - in terms of the good, it's the highest rated machine against it's 4-5 competitors - It's a true blue water submersible machine and Minelab appears to take better care of their Aussie customers than they do in the USA. In terms of the bad, well, I've heard of new units that failed to function out of the box and understand that some have stated that the control knobs can spin around on their shafts rendering the controls useless. Aside from this, I've heard of them flooding internally which would leave the device destroyed. A couple of reasons stop me from purchasing an Excal, it shocked me that a sub 2K factory detector may not be tested before it's sold, and the second is that this unit most likely needs an update/upgrade yet this 1980's looking spear gun remains the same as it was so many years ago. I'll stick with a Garrett for now. [/QUOTE]
