Hello everyone, i made some air test with the excalibur II 10" and i noticed that passing a piece of iron on the coil "null" the excalibur reduces its depth detection.
i mean... before passing an iron object the exc. get a 18k gold ring 7 grams to 12 inches and after a null it get the same ring at about 7 inches.
is it normal or it could be that something works wrong??

thanx for your help

bye
 

It takes a little bit for the machine to recover from a previous signal. Sweep a little slower and see what happens. Air test aren't the best way to compare detectors or check detection depth.
 

Thank you for helping me, i know about little reliability of air test, anyway i'll try to slow down sweep speed and i'm gonna see what happen.
thank you again

regards
 

super new, lots of posts about the excal from two years ago....

so everyone is happy with it now?
 

I've been using mine for over 7 years now and have been happy with it from the first day! Before that, it was a pain to hunt the wet sand or water at the beach. Either I had to use a PI machine and pickup every bobby pin and nail imaginable, or detune other machines I owned to deal with the black sand and other mineralization. It was now a pleasure to go to the beach!
 

I have been using mine for years also, I actualy have 2. One for scuba and one set up for shallow water (long shaft). I tried out other water detectors years ago, and non of them even have come close to the performance of the Excal. That's my 2 cents!!! HH - Like Cuba said, Air tests aren't so good!!!
 

Hello, thanx to all for your help...but, in in the end i found out what's wrong with the exc. it had the sensitivity control that worked wrong,i sent it to mine.
just some days and i had it back from minelab, now it's working great.
 

Thats fast ,i sent mijn ex to minelab ireland for a month ago for a new coil and still waiting

First air tests are poor tests to do......

So far i have yet to see any floating gold or silver on my hunts, it i
s much better to do tests on targets in the ground.....

I can get multiple depths in air tests of same target. ..

How much time between iron test and gold test after...?
