Genuine Excalibur Sounds, Recorded From Various Items

Several folks have asked me to repost the Excalibur sounds I had posted here a few months ago. The original post got a lot of hits and I think it got lost when the forum had that server problem.

So here's a link to the WAV files wrapped up in a single ZIP file that you can download and listen to all you want. These files were recorded by me, on the actual items, with my Excalibur using a microphone and Windows Sound Recorder. They're pretty good but I would encourage you to crank up the volume. I had the microphone stuck in one side of the headphones and the Excal volume cranked but the recording level is still pretty low. But turned up they sound good. The names should be self explanatory.

You can "Save" it to your hard drive and unzip it or you can "Run" it from where it is and listen to the sounds one at a time. Be advised that the file is 2.5MB so if you have dial-up slit your wrists now and be done with it. :lol:

No problem. If it helped you then it was worth the effort to do it.

The Excal is such an outstanding machine once you get to know it. The sounds it makes speak volumes. Once you dig a dozen bottlecaps with it, YOU KNOW when it's a bottlecap. And pennies. And nickels. You just KNOW.

I was out one night with Ina when she first got her Excal and I was calling her over for a lot of the targets I was finding. I'd have her scan over it and get a listen and then I'd say "That's most likely a nickel" and it would be a nickel. "That's most likely a quarter" and it was a quarter. I did that about a half dozen times with 100% accuracy. After a while she was digging quite a few targets and so was I and I quit messing with her for a while. Then I got that sweet low tone of a gold ring...I'd say 98% probability. I called her over and said "Listen to that. Now that MIGHT not be a gold ring, but that is your classic gold ring signal. I be surprised it it weren't a gold ring" Sure enough, it was a small ladies gold band. I could never have done that with my CZ-70 or my Explorer II that I have or with the DFX I used to have. I would have known that it COULD be a gold ring but not that it was almost certainly a gold ring. Only the Excal or the Sovereign machines can do that for you, in my opinion.
