Minelab Excalibur II completely eliminates the waste of iron?

It does what is called "null' when it goes over iron, null is the loss of threshold... When coil passes over piece of iron the detector will go silent, you lose the threshold sound..... In six years I have never seen it be wrong once. The best part is it will still sound off when gold , silver or plat is there with the iron..... When you get a null, always sweep the target again from a 90 degree different direction, if there is a good target there it will sound off. I found a gold ring this way, when I recovered the gold ring it was in the same scoop as the piece of iron...

This is why the Excal is so good at finding gold jewelry. Other detectors like the Beach Hunter ID or even the better CZ-20/21 can null out the Iron when they disc it out, but the masking effect hides the other target near the Iron even if the iron is right over the gold. The only other detector that is better at this is the Sovereign GT because of its many features.

Time will tell but I believe the new CTX-3030 will act the same and be as good as the Excal and Sovereign. Used mine twice. Digging everything lowered the discrimination. It is working well in the water, and on wet and dry sand.

Sorry, what means this "null"?

The Excal has a threshold tone that constantly gives a low "buzz". This buzz goes quiet "NULLS" when coil passes over iron.

 

[Ronaldo Braga]

As I understand it so hard to have to readjust the threshold to be hearing a little noise.

Sorry my english

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

You don't have to reset threshold, set it and forget it. When excal nulls because of iron target the threshold will return on its on after few seconds

Born... Now this is me but i think that the Sovereign and Excalibur are the best detectors that Minelab made................. Better than any Explorer or Etrac ..and now the ctx3030.... And better than most detectors put out by other detector makers.....

i am very curious why is better?

They will go just as deep as your high dollar detector ..And do not have all those bell & whistles on them that you really don't need....

Ok, but now Explorer you can get cheaper when Sovereigns and for sure Excliburs, and what I can see from Sovereigns coil cables they suffer more from EMI, and Explorer can be use even simpler-in silent and with one sound,

I haven't experienced any problems with EMI on either of the 2 Sovereign GTs I owned.... One of the nice features of the Sovereign GT is its silent search....Set the threshold so it is like a faint mosquito in your ear then flip silent search switch to on, you will lose the threshold sound so it is perfectly quiet, but when you pass over a target it will still report the target tone...

But the same you can do with Explorer, I hunt without threshold
