My First Hunt with the Minelab Excalibur II! (Beach Metal Detecting)
Рет қаралды 19,979
2 жыл бұрынSURPRISE!! I've got a new metal detector in my arsenal - the Minelab Excalibur II (Excalibur 2)! This is my first ever metal detecting adventure with the Excal - it was meant to be a diving video, but the conditions weren't ideal so I went treasure hunting around the rocks and sand instead and found even more beautiful old silver coins for my collection.
Thank you so much to Don, Dion and anyone whom has watched my videos or supported my channel in other ways - this video would not have been possible without you all. This metal detector shall be used in future diving and wading videos, while my Minelab Equinox will be used for the land and (mostly) sand hunts. Enjoy!
(Apologies for the noisy surf - this is why the video is a bonus mid-week upload. Live and learn. 😉)

Congratulations Mish! And thank you Dion and Don. I agree there isn't a more deserving detectorists. I'm excited to watch your future hunts with this machine. Your videos are always so classy and well crafted. They are real and exciting, well thought and informative. You have actually inspired me to film myself some because this is an awesome hobby that should be shared. So far only a couple clips on tiktok but hopefully some longer videos for the tube here soon. Thank you ❤ looking forward to your next adventure!

Cheers!!

@Peter57808 2 жыл бұрын
Well done! A note on how the coils work, if you place a large metal object on a rock and then detect under the rock the machine will register the object above the coil as well as any underneath. Its an old prospectors trick to upset people working their leases illegally by hanging ring-pulls about a foot up in small bushes, when you detect under the bush you will get a great signal and start digging only to find nothing!
@DirtFishMish 2 жыл бұрын
Yes in hindsight, placing the iron on top of the rock wasn't my brightest moment (lol) but I was aware of that fact, the pinpointer was far enough away to not pick it up. I often run a handful of sand or soil over the top of a coil if I'm unsure whether I'm holding a target. The prospectors trick about ring pulls, however... I hadn't heard of that one and that's just brilliant. Love it 😆 have a great weekend!

You said it might be boring for us if you stayed at the same dig site for too long. If you stayed at the same dig and pulled out 20 coins, that would be okay with me. You do visit some beautiful locations but I'm not here just for the scenery. The excitement you show when you find something special like that Florin, or any silver or even a toy car, is what makes this channel worth watching. So no matter where you dig, you make it fun. Keep it up!

A wading hunt will be the next video with this detector, it was a really productive one too. It's my favourite way to hunt. Oh my poor gloves... I've even had a 'coffee' donation to replace those so I should get onto it. 😂 They wear out really fast with rock detecting, as I need gloves that are thin enough to have decent tactile function when feeling for crevices in the sand. Cheers :)

Hay Mish once you get used to the sounds of the Excalibur you will learn the sound of tin foil it’s a low grunting sound one word of caution ⚠️ diamond rings often make the same sound it’s really odd but true happy hunting I’m forward looking to seeing you using this great machine I was out almost every day when I first got mine 👍😊👍

I've had 4 Excals over the years, but since the Equinox they are retired. If I was diving it would be different. Your set up looks very good, but if you get a chance the headphones can be improved upon. Spend as much time as you can listening to the tones made by the targets you want to find. Developing your ear only comes with practice. Swing speed is more critical than with the 'nox as well.
@DirtFishMish 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom, thanks for your wonderful comment. Re: swing speed, I typically swing a lot slower than most people I detect with so I think the Excal will be well suited to me. I'm not sure of anyone who does the headphone conversions in Australia (and to be honest, I wouldn't be confident doing it myself) but it is definitely something on my mind. I had a wading hunt with it since this video and pulled up more targets than I would've expected in the place I went to - a promising sign! Cheers. :)

Hey bud! I came up a bit short on a coffee today, but as for the second hunt with the Excal, well... that was another story. 😉 I'm really excited to get out there more often with it, hopefully the stars align this week for a diving day. Cheers mate. :)

How stellar was that for a first time out with the Excalibur! I’d be thrilled to find a “honey hole” like that! I did keep hoping that it was going to give you a piece of gold for your efforts. 😜👍🏻 Thank you again for another wonderful video! 🍻🍻😁😎

The nox isn't going anywhere Woody, 'horses for courses' - it'll still be my machine of choice for land and most dry sand hunts. The Excal is too heavy to use above water for a long period of time. That's two noxes and an Excal in the detector rack now, lol! Cheers mate.

Great video. I so badly want to add the Excalibur II to my arsenal. Especially after one of our Nox 800’s flooded. 🤙
@DirtFishMish 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! A shame about the Nox - neither of ours have ever had the flooding issue, but given how often I take detectors into the water I really wanted to add one of these to the arsenal for extra security. Hope you have (had?) a fast warranty turnaround, ML have always been great with my gear. Cheers :)

@@DirtFishMish absolutely, Minelab was spot on with their warrantee work. Start to finish was under two weeks. We were very pleased with the process. Though it definitely makes me second guess taking it back in the water.

Mish! I am so happy for you. The excal speaks a new language doesn't it... : ) You are going to enjoy it sooo much. I am truly tickled for you to have one now. It can see past iron trash, it tunes itself as you work the heavily mineralized salt beaches. I enjoy going back over areas that I have already detected on dry land with my Garrett AT Pro. I love my Garrett too, but the excal has found some really nice colonial flat buttons that my Garrett missed. ( missed because I may not have had it set the best way). You are going to enjoy it sooooo much. Cheers friend! Smiling, George.
@DirtFishMish 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks George, I'm still stunned that it is now a reality! Having seen what it did with that 'honey hole' (seeing the coins past that big chunk of iron), I absolutely believe it'll be a game changer for where I live as there's lots of old iron around my beaches. I had a ripper hunt with it after this one and that'll be coming real soon. Cheers!!

@@DirtFishMish I think it is cool that your new joy is spread all the way to this cabin on a mountain in North Carolina, U.S.A. even before the sun came up. Great way to start my day. Only thing I can think of to share about the excal, remove the coil cover guard and wash the sand out. when it gets a load of sand in there, it will mess with the self tuning. Smiling, George.
