Minelab excalibur ii

Dears. I need answer's for my question . When the minelab excalibur ii start working which year exactly and is it good for using underwater . This machine use bbs frequency so is it better than pulse and vlf frequency . Please i need more information about it so also if anyone have this machine and also have more experience please tell me if like it and what is good and not good in this machine . Regards
 
To answer some of your questions...

is it good for using underwater

Yes it is very good for underwater use.

This machine use bbs frequency so is it better than pulse and vlf frequency .

bbs is VLF technology. It can be better than Pulse but that depends. On a highly mineralized beach that is pretty clean pulse might be much better. On a low mineralized trashy beach vlf would be better.
 
The Excalibur II is a very capable beach machine. Water Proof to 200 feet. Some folks do not like them because they are tones only. No meter. But they can discriminate out iron and steel so that you can concentrate on good targets.

I personally do not like the crooked shaft that Minelab puts on the machine. It puts the weight of the machine on your arm. I put a balanced straight shaft on my machine and that moved the controls and the weight under my elbow. At 75 years of age I can swing the coil for six or more hours.

While The Machine is not what one would call cheap it will reimburse you the cost if you use it.

You better believe that I like my Excalibur II. While it does have some faults (all machines do) it is one great detector for use at the beach and in the water.
 
Excal ii is excellent underwater detector. .. gets great depth in fresh and saltwater. .. hits real good on most rings especially gold.. but it does struggle on small oddly shaped gold and thin gold chains... in experienced hands it almost gets as deep as a pi while still discriminating out most ferrous targets...
 
Id say they are the no. 1 selling salt water machine. Thanks to ole beach nuts work to mod them and now Kelleyco they are simple, deep, and hate iron.
 
I love my Excal II, it has found me many silver, gold, gold and diamond and platinum rings, it is my go to machine but I also have a Whites TDI Pro that has it's place, it will reach goodies that the Excal II cannot see but you do have to be in a clean beach or it will wear you out. During the winter season when the tide goes out and exposes areas that are in deep water during the swimming season is where the TDI shines. I just like both machines. HH
