    CTX and Keeping the Battery Dry

    I have been using the CTX in the water thus far without any issues. I use compressed air to clean the seal between hunts. However I have not done that much hunting with it yet and I wanted to start securing the battery compartment with a rubber band(s). This should help prevent the clips from...

    Seawater Setting

    I am an Excalibur water hunter in Florida and was highly interested in the CTX when it was first released. However with numerous reports of false signals in salt water I was hesitant to pull the trigger. It sounds like the seawater setting that was part of the last software update has...

    Excal Battery Pod & Silicone Grease

    I was wondering what other users feel the best course of action is for maintenance of the Excal battery pod. The Minelab manual states the following: As part of the manufacturing process, Minelab applies a silicone grease to the battery cable connector pins. This prevents a build-up of...

    CTX 3030 Internal Software Updates

    Can anyone confirm that the CTX 3030 internal software (firmware) can be updated via USB? I see that the XChange2 software can indeed download updates directly from Minelab, but this is simply the software that runs on the PC. I was hoping that the CTX 3030 firmware could be updated via USB...

    Excalibur Pirate of the Caribbean

    I did some hunting in the Caribbean earlier this month and scored a bunch of gold along with a nice assortment of silver, stainless, and coins. The majority of the gold was 18K and all the finds came from the water. I found an interesting two tone gold ring. It consists of two gold rings...

    Excalibur 2 Slight Tonal Variations

    I currently own both an Excal 2 1000 and 800. I recently bought the Excal 2 800 and have been hunting with an Excal for close to 2 years. When I test the same target I get a slightly different tone from each machine. If I did not have a finely tuned ear for the Excal I might not notice the...

    Scoop Advice

    I am considering a new scoop primarily for use in the wet sand and water at beaches in Florida. Currently I have a Diamond Head, which I like, but it can get rather heavy, particularly on a long hunt. I want something lighter that can also breakdown for travel. I was considering the RTG PRO...

    Sunset Hunt 6/12/11 - Excalibur Two Ringer

    I had an exciting sunset hunt last night as these two 10K rings show up within about 15 minutes of one another in shallow water. :cheers: HH everyone!

    Excalibur 2 False Signals

    I have noticed that my Excalibur II with 10 inch coil can occasionally produce false signals where there is wave action present in salt water. These false signals are typically quick chirps and/or changes to threshold. When I reduce sensitivity it does help out but even at the lowest...

    Straight Shaft for Excalibur

    Hi Everyone, I have been enjoying an Excal II for a little over 1.5 years. Not long after I started I switched to an over/under straight shaft which was much better balanced than the factory S atrocity. The neat thing about the over/under is that it allows easy access to the controls...

    04/22 Excalibur Silver Trifecta

    Managed to rack up some points in the ring department. One stainless steel bracelet, one junk toe ring, and 3 silver rings. The hunt started out very slow. But then in the course of an hour all four rings came up in rapid fire. Good times! HH!

    Excalibur Beach Gold 04/08

    This small ring was unmarked but rang up 14K via the acid scratch test (passed 10K, passed 14K, failed 18K). It weighed in at 2.6 grams and appears to have 91 very tiny stones. HH everyone!
