Tony, great to see you back. Hope all is well. Best of luck with the new NEL Thunder on your Excal 2. I put a NEL BIG on my AT PRO this year. What a difference. New Machine looks great. I can not wait to see the results.

[@sylvia4425]

I about fell out of my chair when I saw that you uploaded a new video. Nice to hear your radio-voice again. ;)

[@rickbate2164]

It's good to see back !! wish you the best of hunting with your new thunder coil . good luck !

[@strickdog]

Great to have you back Tony. I still am gonna sent my xcal to you as soon as the warranty is up. BTW its easier to get to the xcal knobs if you are right handed to have them pointing to the inside rather then the outside with that set up. strick

[@mauriceross6375]

[@zipngo1]

Nice work Tony, My excal is finally working well. I am interested in the pinpoint switch mod and the carbon fiber upgrade. I might try just ordering a carbon fiber tube and starting there??? Good video.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Thanks bud. lemme know if and when you would like to do those mods, I'd be happy to help out..

[@zipngo1]

Have you found any decent pricing on rolled carbon fiber tubes? I am still looking around.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Ebay from China.. US stuff is way over priced IMHO:)

[@haldenfuller8416]

Dang It looks like a sports car. never thought I could like a machine so much.

[@TonyEisenhower]

I know, pretty sexy eh😄

First off ..... hello Terry!!! nice to see ya.... well yer feet anyway! LOL. and second glad to see ya back buddy... I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been to long... So I guess I will see ya than... I GOTTA GO TO BED NOW!!!

[@TonyEisenhower]

Ter says hi!! You coming down Friday?

[@c.h.u.d]

The foam on that plugger cuff seems thicker than an anderson.i likeee

[@cannabisgoldsmith]

Hi Tony: I got myself a Nel Thunder for my Excal for Christmas and I see that a plug is attached to the cable - Can you tell me what the pinouts from the NEL coil plug correspond to with the Excal cable once I cut it? What wire goes to what? Thanks,

[@TonyEisenhower]

Sure.. The NEL coil wires should be numbered one through four. All the ones I’ve wired connect as follows; One red, two black, three white and four yellow. Good luck buddy. Merry Christmas and happy new year

[@danielroach6190]

I wonder if drilling a hole for the cable would allow water to seep into the shaft? I'm sure you seal it, but you know how water is and how hard it is to seal the backside of an angled cable.

[@ROMY840420]

your the wizard tony wow that coil looks sweet =) and the new setup is impressive . look forward to seeing some more videos ATB & GL&HH

[@retrogaminggarage2241]

This guy should do voice overs.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Yeah Chris, I got the voice and the looks so how come I ain’t rich😆

[@retrogaminggarage2241]

Because we are not young punk kids doing stupid crap on the internet.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Man, ya got that right..

[@budgoeke]

can you just buy cables somewhere and change them ?

[@dagodigger487]

Tony how cool your back , Fantastic, Thanks for a fantastic vid

[@jamesfleming8116]

nice video i have the sharp shooter for parks an the thunder for the beach an the big ive never used for my at pto

[@cannabisgoldsmith]

Do you go in the water at all? I am thinking about doing a coil mod like this myself as an excal of mine has come out of warranty so cutting the cord is now an option. 1) Since I spend most of my time in chest deep water I am wondering if running the cable inside the shaft like that reduces water drag at all. 2) I also have an Anderson lower shaft and I am kind of worried about drilling into it... Wouldn't a hole in the lower shaft make it a lot weaker? 3) How does this Thunder Coil compare to the WOT?

[@TonyEisenhower]

Yep, I'm in the water up to my chest in the summer. My mods are all waterproof. I think interior wiring reduces drag a lot but there are downsides. You need a separate shaft for each coil and changing coils is not very easy. I drill the hole into the lower fitting so I think there is minimum reduction in strength. I prefer the Thunder.. It's a better build IMHO.

[@jerryjetzer3422]

Hi Tony, Were did you buy the coil I can't find anyone that carry's it

[@TonyEisenhower]

try thegolddigger. Ron is very helpful. Or if yer somewhere in Socal, PM or Email me and I can hook you up with a good deal.

[@fristtime4983]

Tony,, how the coil work out my ex cal ii needs the coil wire replaced seen your video and mabe that would work better

[@TonyEisenhower]

Hi. I had a Thunder coil on my Excal and did not like it. Very noisy in the water. I recommend the Tornado or if you want a larger coil the 15” Attack would be my choice. The best coil is the stock 10” in my opinion. I can replace the coil cable if the existing, individual wires are still good. If this is something you would consider, email me. [e-mail].

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

I like that set up looks awesome happy to see some new videos from you bud GL&HH

[@haldenfuller8416]

NEL dosent show a coil for the Excal 800 so how do I know which to buy. If you said so already, sorry I missed it. I did subscribe and liked.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Hey Halden, I got mine from thegolddigers metal detectors. Talk to Ron and tell him I sent you.

[@TonyEisenhower]

The coil is actually for a Sovereign. They are essentially the same machine. If you don't find any joy finding it, PM or email me and I'll get you one.

[@haldenfuller8416]

Will do! Thanks.

[@LIDigga]

Good looking heater Tony...Now go get some Yella!!!GL HH

[@subiebugeye02]

Hey tony where do you recommend buying the Excalibur 2. Looking at purchasing one soon!

[@TonyEisenhower]

Hey bud. I think everyone is probably gonna give you a good deal to get yer biz. One of my fav dealers is thegolddigger. Talk to Ron and tell him I referred ya. It couldn't hurt😄

[@frankboet1]

How does the Superfly compare with the Thunder? Round coil vs elliptical?

[@TonyEisenhower]

I have no idea bud, sorry..

[@charleswilder2985]

Nice! Way to show up my Attack! That demo looked pretty awful for the stock coil! No beep at all, in disc, at 11", none(?) at 9", and skippy at even 6"? That was shocking! Was there something odd about that sand? With my stock coil, I got quarters solidly at 9". With the Attack, I got a hairpin clearly at almost a foot, in disc, in Florida dry sand at Melbourne Beach. Anyway, congrats on your latest combo!

[@TonyEisenhower]

Thanks Charles, I'm really liking the combo so far but still testing..

[@brianw4brian]

Charles Wilder I got the Garrett infinium LS. that pi machine is an animal. hair pin 15 inches

[@charleswilder2985]

Wow, that is pretty effective!

[@brianw4brian]

have you noticed an improvement Tony. using that coil? I'm Brian I met you at the beach in San Diego. near the amusement park. last year in early January.

[@TonyEisenhower]

Hi Brian. The jury's still out on the Thunder coil. Just haven't used enough yet. Stay tuned.. All the best buddy.

[@manitobahydroman]

Nice work Tony!

[@TonyEisenhower]

Thanks Brad

[@MichaelSwan66]

[@alanaspopo1955]

He's Back!

[@jimshelton1]

[@davetaylor7271]

Nice lookin rig, I like it!

[@scottreacher4620]

Nice to hear from you my friend. :O)

[@detectorismoamazonico1094]

In your country is not so expensive a detector is not it? In Brazil and very expensive, if I had the conditions I would order one in your country, but until arriving here would cost expensive the same way, for now I will accompany you until I buy mine, good hunts for you, see you later.

[@scottreacher4620]

Tony-So the NEL Thunder Coil worked well on your Excal? I just wanted to make sure, I saw on line that it was for the AT Pro. It looks good on the video. If you give it a seal of approval on your Excal, then that's good enough for me. Like I said, I just wanted to be sure. :O)

[@MichaelSwan66]

very nice mods great work she's a beast

[@sdesic]

Nice work! Tony, how deep goes 10" stock coil these days? In AM and DISC on quarter. Is that constant for your in wet sand too? Can't wait for that next hunt of yours! Good luck!

[@DMsMixUp]

Very cool!

[@dexterdraco]

oh boy am I happy to see you!!!!!!

[@EdTheBeachHunter]

REALLY TONY !!?? ..................... Your first video in a super long time and you don't go Treasure Hunting ................ I got all excited for nothing ............... I was looking forward to seeing you back on the Hunt bro !!!!

[@мдсервис]

I thing nel thunder is best coil .

[@TonyEisenhower]

Could be. I like it😄

[@detectorismoamazonico1094]

Hello Tony, my name is Alexandre, I'm from Brazil, I live in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, I'm registered in your channel, you have great videos, I accompany you and other guys who also practice detectorism, it's a great hobby, I'm trying to get a buck to try to buy a detector to start practicing also the derectorism, I want to buy a Polish Pi, a home detector, I can not buy a top of the line, like a claw, AT pro, bolt hunt, excalibu, Of these celebrities, here in Brazil it costs a lot of money, I intend to buy a simple commodity. I want to say that you have great videos, I do not understand anything you say, congratulations to the videos, I wish you good hunts, a hug and until next time.
