    Low signal at the end of each swing

    Dear Forum, It has been a while since I last posted. I'm back!! I have an Excalibur 800 with modified coil. I wanted to know if anyone had experience with hearing a low signal at each extreme end when swinging the coil. I can eliminate this by turning down the threshold, however I will lose...

    Excalibur General Questions

    Dear Forum, I have an Excalibur 800 and have used it for many years. I wanted your input on whether I should try to "Upgrade" it for better depth by adding the 10" coil (would become an Excalibur 1000) and adding Grey Ghost Headphones. How would this "upgraded" detector match up to the...

    Detecting after Sandy

    Here is my update for detecting after Sandy. First of all, the shore is in bad shape. It is one thing to see it on TV, another to see it first-hand. Small beach wash stations were off of their foundations and crumbled. Areas for rinsing off had twisted pipe. Boardwalk planks were gone...

    Amazing how the beach changes in 2 weeks

    I went back out to the beach today where I located the lead balls and the beach had changed. I think there was about 1-2 feet of soft sand over the area. Very few targets. Surfline

    Lead Weights

    Forum, I found these lead weights and noticed that the holes in the top were drilled, cast with a hole, or had copper/brass wire. These do not look like "modern" weights that I am used to finding. How old do you think they are? Are they fishing weights? Sounding leads? Commercial fishing...

    Hunting etiquette- Seeking your input

    Forum, I would like your input on hunting etiquette. I was at the Shore a month or so ago and found a very productive area after searching for a while. As I continued to dig many targets, I noticed other detectorists starting to slowly migrate in my direction (not my imagination). They were...

    7-inch or 10-inch coil for Excalibur-Beach/Surf Hunting

    Forum, I use a 7-inch coil on my Excalibur for beach/surf hunting. It has worked well on the Jersey Shore, especially after Nor' Ida. I seem to be one of the only hunters that has the smaller coil. Almost everyone else I see has the larger 10 inch coil. Please give me your thoughts...

    Towing a coil behind a boat

    I have an XL500 and a Minelab Excalibur 800. I would like to add a long extension to the main unit and tow the coil behind a boat. I would like to keep the unit itself topside so that it does not get lost underwater. Does anyone know how I can modify the XL500 or Excalbur to do this (for...
