    Excalibur rebuild needed.

    As far as repairing its going to cost you no matter who fixes them and hopefully it still works as it should. A few years ago I purchased three just like it for 187.oo dollars, by luck all three worked but I ended up parting two of them out. The Excalibur II I fixed and gave to a friend. As you...

    Again, my OCD got the best of me. I caved, and purchased a Fisher Impulse AQ.

    EXCAL 1000

    Several factors, how much did you put into it with the refurbish? Maybe a picture of it would help also, condition outside and what accessories. Like shaft, knob guard, head phones, age of battery, condition of the cables. The way it looks is a big factor when buying anything used .

    Question to refresh my mind about some older coils.

    Post a picture of the coils, been awhile since I seen those. Honestly I would suggest finding either a stock 800 coil or a old Sunray. The 800 coil is 7.5 inches and the Sunray is a full 8 inches. I had a detech 5 inch and I know it was not water proof, it was white and looked like a hocky puck...

    Worst designed water sifter.

    I agree, no doubt they not regular water hunters whom ever designed and built them. The makers did post a video of someone using it in the water which had me wondering how they were getting away with it floating near by being metal. And the size is not all that great I think.. I aways swing my...

    Again, my OCD got the best of me. I caved, and purchased a Fisher Impulse AQ.

    Welcome, I learned so much about the AQ just doing testing, air and buried targets at the beach. Here is another gold ring found, not the best video but on all of these I post, turn the volume up full so you can hear some of the details of the AQ on targets. I'll post several over the next week...

    Big Congratulations on the New AQ! I have several video's I'll have to post, of finding gold with the AQ, and there is a FB page I'll send you the link for AQ owners. I know Clive is killing the gold with his AQ right now. Only 2 issues I do not like about the AQ, one is the battery life and...

    Here’s the scoop:

    Looks like that scoop has some age to it! Nice digs on the silver also, I've used Mothers on stained Gold n Silver and a hammer on crusty silvers. Since I melt all my silver Im not to worried about the after condition.

    Beach gold

    A real Beauty! I'm guessing its older, from the 50 to 60s. Or maybe lost by a older person, differently not from this generation.

    Model number for this sunspot scoop

    That is as old as the hills. I would guess and say its from the early years. Chuck is still around I'll send that picture to him and see what he has to say.

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Shaunfth was a very gifted electronics engineer who made the "S" Amp and he was a beach hunter. Here is Shaun's Signal Amp on the excalibur and how much the send field is amplified. I use a audiosears 2463 speaker/microphone to pick up the send field. Interesting is how the 2463 can show the...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Maybe not the D2 but it does to some others, TDI PI's were famous at getting more depth when voltage was increased to 16.8/18./21 volts and like any detector had a lot to do with the conditions if you could use all the extra, but it was good to have it available and when used it, it was deeper...

    Shark Teeth While Detecting

    I have a spot I find small Shark teeth and several other types of bones. I even made a special sifter so I could see them better, using white netting. Strange is rarely do I find them way off shore, all our with in 60 foot of the shoreline.
