This powerful, intelligent metal detector will help you find treasures that have been both lost and missed by the generations before you either on land or 200ft. under the sea. The Excalibur II we’re featuring comes with a powerful 8” searchcoil and state of the art headphones. The following information comes from our own experience with the Minelab Excalibur and is meant to help those who are thinking about getting one for the first time as well as those who already have one.
The Minelab Excalibur II comes with a 8” coil that contains two ‘D’ shaped windings and is perfect for locating deep targets. The Double ‘D’ coil provides you with a detection pattern as you search that is “blade like” and is sensitive from tip to heel. This searchcoil is versatile and deep-seeking, making it effective for any type of detecting. Best of all – it was re-balanced for the Excalibur II to enable you to treasure hunt for longer periods of time and experience less fatigue!
Because the Excalibur was meant to be submersible, you can take this coil and the entire detector into 200 feet of water without any adverse affects – this means the possibilities of finding treasure are almost limitless!
Possibly the most impressive aspect of the Excalibur may not be its capacity to go 200ft. under water, but its 17 frequencies. This is possible thanks to the BBS (Broad Band Spectrum) technology. Find thin gold nuggets and delicate jewelry other detectors miss, while ignoring hot rocks, salt, terra cotta and overall changing ground conditions.
The Excalibur II's 17 frequencies literally provide an “Iron Mask” feature that allows you to reject iron, yet still detect good, valuable treasure scattered among it. The range of the Excalibur’s transmission is from 1.5 kHz to 25.5 kHz (done in 1.5 kHz increments). All 17 frequencies are transmitted together at one time, operating simultaneously with multiple tone responses. 
Thankfully these multiple, simultaneous frequencies are easy-to-use and understand. Just like a single frequency detector, you turn on the Excalibur II, set the controls between operating modes, and start your treasure hunt. The Excalibur II will do the majority of the work by interpreting target signals, removing ground mineralization interference and analyzing the remaining signal. The only sound you’ll hear is the one indicating you’ve found treasure!
There are two operating modes on the Excalibur – “Discriminate” mode and “Pinpoint” mode. While these modes seem simple in theory, we’re sure you’ll find them both to be quite powerful. Simply set the controls to your desired position depending on your location and what your desired treasure is and go! For each type of treasure you find a different tone will signal. After a little bit of practice we’re confident you’ll know exactly what you’ve found before you dig for it.
