    How I did a temporary repair to a coil cable

    My Excalibur became erratic, it would not sound off on coins consistently as it should. I grasped the coil wire where it enters the control pod, moved it a bit and started working again. I suspected frayed broken outer strands in one or more of the 4 coil wires inside the jacket. The problem...

    If you have bought through the mail, that is made a shipment or paid by Postal Money Order and have been cheated. This might be a help, just a thought! Postal Inspector

    Viewsonic PJD5111 DLP Projector

    I purchased this projector new and it is still in the original box with all accessories remote control original setup CD (unopened), setup and ran it for 15 minutes for familiarization and to make sure it had no issues. It works perfectly. The bulb has almost no time on it and should last 1500...

    Tell me how you read an ocean beach, please.

    I have read several books and I am beginning to understand about when a beach hunt is favorable. So some questions, how do you pick your day(s) to hunt? I can hunt pretty much year round, cold isn't that severe here in Southeast Texas. When it is most likely a waste of time, other than...

    WTB Non-Working Sovereign GT or Elite

    I am interested in the control box/case ONLY. The box should be in good condition and again the box does not need to work. The Knobs can be missing, the case can be empty with no circuit board... If has a circuit and you want to keep it fine, just sell me the case. If you want to keep the knobs...

    Will Minelab repair the Original Excalibur?

    Really two questions, 1. If you have the old Excalibur with sword logo can it be repaired at Minelab? I seem to remember reading it cannot be. 2. Can you use the modern Tornado coils with this older Excalibur? Thanks,

    Common Excalibur Failures ... Sort of a Survey

    1st and foremost, this not meant to be a "Bash Minelab Excalibur Survey". Some failures will be common to all detectors regardless of the manufacturer, such as coil failure due to improper cable restraint and fatigue of the wires with a resulting break. I have read that this one failure mode...

    Excalibur Threshold

    Well after two hunts, my "new to me" Excalibur 1000 has a constant high threshold, it cannot be turned down and it is loud. The switch must be bad because it will spin 360, how big a deal is it to replace the switch? Can you get the things? Of course I could be wrong, but the switch definitely...

    Connetor for the Excalibur battery Pod?

    I notice that my screw on collar that connects to battery pod from the control pod does not have an O-ring or seal of any kind. I had some corrosion products on one pin indicating some leakage. This does not seem normal to me, is there supposed to be as seal of some kind.

    First day on the job and the Excalibur finds two ring :minelab:

    Man, do I feel lucky. I bought an Excal 1000, it arrived yesterday. Did a beach hunt today, found a small child's gold ring, and .925 Sterling band. On my very first hunt with the "new to me", Excal. Unbelievable! I had found a 10k small ring a month ago at the same spot using my Sea Hunter...

    Sovereign Amplifiers

    So, if I understand this correctly there exists two different amplifier schemes. 1. Boost coil TX (transmit) strength 2. Boost Audio to Headphones from RX (receive) strength Number 1. In theory, produces a greater detection field strength, so the field goes deeper. Number 2. Does not go...

    Excalibur is there any other way?

    I have searched this forum and all I can find on coil change out for an excalibur is to disassemble and solder new coil leads to the circuit board. If you will not be diving, only wading is there another way with a water tight/resistant connector such as an Ikelite product?

    Teknetics Lower Rod, Question

    I bought my O8K second hand. I just now noticed it does not have rubber inserts in the coil mounting fixture of the lower rod. There is clearly a place could put soft friction shims or washers in the end piece. There is no mention in the manual one way or the other. Does your Teknetics have...

    How to determine settings for max depth with PI

    So here is what drives my question. I have a site in mind that was at one time, a major weekend beach dating back to the early 1900's. At its peak over 30,000 people visited in a single weekend. It has not been to my knowledge water hunted to any extent, as it has been many years since sandy...

    Has anyone read this book?

    "A Beginners guide to the Minelab Sovereign and Excalibur series by Tony Pasquale" I ordered the advanced book, after I placed the order I noticed the beginners guide above. I am just wondering if perhaps the beginners book would also be worth a read and, perhaps I should add it to my order. I...
