    Sovereign Coil choices for Excalibur...

    Hi all, I'm looking to try some aftermarket Sovereign coils on my Excaliburs. I have a blue 1000 with 10" Tornado (put on by ML) and an 800 II. Since I mainly hunt in the water, I will use waterproof connectors and am very interested in the SEF 12X10. Based on all the good reviews, seems...

    Excalibur Battery Questions...

    I just purchased three of those 2700 mah 9.6 V rechargeable batteries for my Excaliburs. I got them because the manufacturer said they will last much longer than even their 1500 battery and that is important because I travel with my machines. The longer lasting the batteries the better...

    Just 4 Fun...

    As primarily a shallow saltwater hunter, I often wonder how many gold chains I walk right over while detecting because my machine will not respond. We know many of the reasons why our detectors will not easily see chains, but rather than just give up on gold chains I'm wondering... 1, which...

    BHID 300- First Impressions...

    I just received a 1 year old BHID 300. In Washington State my ground is highly mineralized and I was not impressed with the 300 set to presets! My Tesoro Compadre hits harder on a nickel! The machine recovers so fast it seemed difficult to GB. I did my best, so perhaps my hot ground or other...

    Thinking about a detector Change?

    Water hunting Brothers... oops, and Sisters... I mostly travel to the Caribbean to do my shallow water detecting. I live near Seattle, WA. When traveling, I take an Excalibur 800 and a 1000- 1 as back-up. Excaliburs do find the gold. But I'm always looking for better machines to travel...

    Garrett Sea Hunter MK II?

    I'm in the process of selecting a pulse detector. Assuming that the discrimination knob on the Sea Hunter MK II is a pulse delay, does anybody know what the MKII's range of pulse delay settings are, from low to high? Thanks, CC.

    BHID Aftermarket Headphones?

    Has anyone swapped the BHID 300 factory headphones with an aftermarket waterproof set? Which brand and how do you like them? To me the BHID factory phones pinch and hurt my ears with prolonged use. I would rather have headphones that fully fit over my ears and not partially on them. Thanks, CC.

    Silver U Max on the way!!!

    Last week I reluctantly bought a like new Compadre from a friend in need of money. Having owned many detectors over the years I was shocked how well the Compadre performs! It just nails targets and I hit more targets in just 15 minutes than using any other machine! All this with the small...

    Ground Coverage: BHID 300 vs. Excalibur 1000

    With the idea that one might be able to find more gold at a saltwater beach shallow water hunting, by covering more ground and cherry-picking only potentially gold targets, Which machine would do that better- the BHID 300 or Excalibur 1000? (this would be done when ones time is short to hunt)...

    Excalibur PROs....

    I've also posted these questions at the Excalibur Forum. I'm thinking about modifications to my blue Excalibur 800 and would like Excalibur users/PROs opinions. 1, The newer 800 Tornado coil has better sensitivity to smaller targets than the older 800 BBS coil. Is this the case? 2, The newer...

    And the Best Caribbean Travel Water Detector Is...

    Well perhaps for me and only in theory the Fisher CZ21. Why? Well it is built tough and with 8 inch coil fits in my suitcase collapsed to dive mode, without any dis-assembly. Battery life is good so I would not have to bring many extra spare batteries, chargers or power converters. That also...

    Best Caribbean Shallow Water Detector Conclusions

    After several posts and informative responses and reading many old posts here, I'm nearing some conclusions on what the best Caribbean travel detector for me is. My criteria have been waterproof machines that are easy to use and travel with, have good battery life and are prov-en gold finders...

    Tiger/Sand Shark Users...

    I am wondering first about the Tiger Shark. Would everybody agree, based on what seems to be said, that the Tiger Shark is the hottest water machine on small gold and chains in freshwater? Will the Tiger really see chains other machines miss? If that is the case then I'm wondering it that...

    PI Discrimination by Ear?

    PI Guys- of the following machines, DetectorPro PI, PI PRO, Sand Shark, Impulse, Garrett PI... which one if any gives the best round sound/response/tone on ring type targets? Which gives the best ID/tone/sound response to trash. I would like to know because I'm wondering if a particular...

    CZ21, 1280X vs Excalibur for travel Opinions?

    OK, the CZ21 has been out for some time now and should have bugs worked out. I would like to hear from CZ21 users on what they think about this detector. Is it any better, worse or equal to the CZ20? Are you finding any gold in the water with your CZ21 and which size coil do you like best in...

    Platinum Nuggets?

    Has anyone used or heard about an Infinium detecting raw platinum placer nuggets? Talking about platinum nuggets, I know very little about them. Obviously they are rare. But are they all tiny, or formed in various sizes like gold nuggets? In that case an Infinium should be able to detect...

    After market Infinium Shaft

    Here is a photo of the After market Anderson balance shaft for the Infinium and Sea Hunter. They also manufacture a long shaft for the Infinium that places the electronics way back and also a short scuba shaft too. I know these have been around for awhile, but any Infinium accessories are...

    Just For Fun...

    I have owned and tried many detectors, including an early Whites Beach Hunter ID that I liked. My main detecting interests lie in beach and water hunting and my detector of choice for that are ML Excalibur IIs. But I also like to land hunt every now and then. I'm also into hunting rifles and...

    New SE Lookin Good!

    Over the years I have tried most detectors. Excaliburs are my main water machines. I recently purchased an SE along with a Platypus coil. The SE is obviously a new ball game! I have only had time to test it in my yard, where known junk targets are buried. I have scanned my yard with nearly...
