Minelab Excalibur Questions

[DAVID@RT6DETECTORS]

I had the Excalibur out today and I noticed it doing some strange stuff. Just wondering if it is the norm. I noticed that when i would scan from side to side, the threshold would change with no warning. I could run my scoop over the coil and it would go back to normal. Start to scan again and it would do the same thing. I could go over a target and it would pick it up fine. But that threshold thing has me confused. It just came back from Minelab with repairs completed and everything was ok they said. Is this normal or not?

This is normal. The threshold comes back as a different tone after a null or a accept. It has no bearing on the Excal's responding to a good target. It is covered in the manual.

I was testing it at home and that is what it seemed like it was doing. When I went over some iron, the threshold would change to a low tone. When I went over a coin it wouls go back to high tone. I guess i will have to get used to that.

I'm a new Excal user and I've noticed the same thing.
It is a bit strange at first, and I still find myself looking for that high-pitched mosquito threshhold.
Like you said, I also run the coil by my scoop to reclaim that high tone when it bothers me.

if its doing it on every swing then you prob have your sen set too high and it will false.try turning your sen down to around 12 noon. or where ever you need to to stop the falsing . dont worry you wont loose much if any depth. i run mine at 1 oclock wet/dry sand and back down to 11 am in the water.

I take it you dont dig coins, or were you just doing that for educational purposes? Thanks for the vid!

I was doing a compare of the New Excal II to the Old Yellow Headphone Excals, 800 and the 1000, Plus I had the Infinium in the contest also. This beach you can dig coins everyday of the week 24 - 7 due to it's location, the rings start mid july to early sept.......wish I lived closer, it's alittle over 2 hours away.

I hear ya.... All the good beaches are at least 2 hrs from me too.... But on the bright side, I live in the center of Florida, so either side is about the same, so it is more convenient that way.

I watched a few of the MD videos and watched someone "Reverse Hunting in Pin Point"?? I've been hunting with my Excal since 2002 and I've never heard of this. If I'm hunting with my disc set on 1 do I miss that much and do I really want what I miss?

Re: Minelab Excalibur Questions.....I think that may have been one of my video's

If the way your hunting is working, and your finding the treasure, I would say don't change but.........

If your hunting with discriminate 1 your missing the junk...
AM/PP I use that style of hunting when the targets are few, and their's very little trash, {iron} on the beach. AM/PP goes deeper on most beachs, I have experenced places where it was equal depth but rare. Another reason I hunt AM/PP is the signal in AM/Pp is more of a disbursted field, which it seems the field reaches out from the sides of the coil Making a 7.5 inch coil {the 800} seem like a 9 inch coil...


The depth part video, now this is kinda new using Doc's treasure Amp showing signals that you miss, this is in Boca Roton, Florida



One other thing, about 70% of the time, when I'm in the water...deep, I hunt in discriminate..
