    Excalibur II squeals every 30 seconds or so

    Time for a new battery. If I remember correct the stock battery charges up to around 14 volts, the new Li-ion charge to 12.6 and last a lot longer.

    Excalibur remote pinpoint switch replacement

    Myself ... I use both on my Excals, but I do like the push button the best. Except the last few orders of the yellow cap push buttons ones I used ........ everyone of them have failed after a few hunts. Very poor quality. So I bought two of the switchcrafts and so far both are still working...

    Excalibur remote pinpoint switch replacement

    Lately those yellow push button switch's (purchased) have been poor quality but I have found another I'm testing. So far after 4 hunts it seems to be ok. I will list both the yellow and the new one I had someone suggest over on another forum. New first

    EXCALIBUR wiring for NEL coil

    Best way would be to trim about two inches of the black outer cable covering, ( If they are not color coded) then cut one wire at a time and check the continuity ..pin to the wire you just cut, and label each wire 1 thru 4. The reason, some of those coils, the wires are not color coded or...

    EXCALIBUR wiring for NEL coil

    Watch close on the Detech SEF. Black is (1) Grey is (2) the chart says that but many over the years when in the order the colors are shown and not noticing the numbers 1 and 2 are swapped. Not many SEF coils left in this world...

    Excalibur cable replacement ..very much like any without shielded cable.. Ive fixed about 30 coils cables on excals over the years. The cable used out last most machines. Where as the stock cables are terrible.

    Seems US repair center is no longer open

    814-283-4270 They still do repairs on Minelabs but they are no longer a authorized repair center. I'm not sure what went down that Minelab took that away from them for they did and still do great work. Keith Leppert is the owner and a relic/beach hunter/prospecting hunter.

    My “new” Dual Field PI & hanging out with OldBeechnut (OBN)

    Can someone help me out?

    Just a heads up..let me know when you get it and I'll do a inspection check list for you to make sure all is good to go into the water. the seals maybe bad.. and the sword case after 25 plus years can show signs of leaking around the knob shafts tubes, little guys but the inside where they are...

    Building my own headphones

    Those look Great! As is all of your work. :super: Another opp for water proofing the 2463's, I did several of these years ago for the excalibur. A few used them for diving but best for shallow water hunting. Fully water proof .. I now use Piezo's only since 99% of my time is spent hunting in...

    Some of my beach finds from back in the day

    Luckily I've been picture and video taken for most of my adult years, if not for them they would be lost memories. Even now I wish I had taken more.. Im sure if it were digital I would have.

    Threshold level. I want to vent.

    I did a video on this years ago (2011) for all metal hunters using the Excalibur, but after many years I do know there are times that require a bit louder threshold ..On windy days or when Ambient/outside noise is high. But you are correct, that loud threshold is covering up faint deep targets.

    Seems US repair center is no longer open

    I know Minelab had a Great repair center in PA and seems there was a disagreement between them and now all minelab repairs are done in Chicago. Its a shame for the PA repair center took on several month backlog of repairs from Kelly Co and turned the repair time to about two weeks, shipped to...

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    One variation between the excalibur and the AQ PI. The Excalibur hits larger class rings deep specially if you listen for the faint changes in the threshold, where as the AQ PI hits them much easier and louder. On small gold rings with the AQ PI, it hammers the small gold rings deep, where as...

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    I jump around between the five I have and the same with the AQ which I have two. I just obtained a 12 inch Sunray coil so the little 800 coil will be replaced this week and that machine will see more action. Set a year gold goal for 2023, 50 .see how that goes..

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    I've compared my Excalibur on raw depth on the wet sand In PP/all metal with the Sea Hunter, Sand Shark and the older Whites PI 1000/2000..and there as no compare for the excalibur is deeper. And that being said I have hunted behind the Nox 800 and 900 and the Manticore and found they are...
