Video - Testing Out the Excalibur on Gold Chains - Part 1

[OUTATIME]

Video of me Testing out the Minelab Excalibur 1000 and Sunray Coil. Part 1
Checking the Sensitivity to gold chains.
Warning - Long and boring for those not interested!
This was filmed in the Summer, just got around to editing it....

That is cold...funny... but cold. I will finish watching this later too but certainly appreciate the effort. I would like to see the same tests done with PIs. HH!

How did you get the Excalibur to sound off like a bird? That is so cool......the sound of birds when you find metal.....wow!

Interesting, and I won't say which one is more sensitive to the gold chains but think I know. Would like to see the rest of the test.

Great video, loved it! Birds and all. Do you have the rest of it waiting in the wings?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Thanks OT, always enjoy seeing test........chains are tuff, looking forward to your conclusion.... joe

good job next time i'm gonna go hunting for flying gold this will be useful PUT IT IN THE GROUND AND do the test... a detector is good when it can read the ground and separate the gold from it... air tests are nothing

Hey OUTATIME! Thanks for covering a topic that vexes most detectorists. Chains are an unpredictable signal. I have found some nice 14k fattys that sang low and true like a pop top sound and I have found some only because I scooped the pendant that was on it first (if the clasp on the pendant isn't broken then you know the chain is probably close by) and then circled around digging almost any anomaly in signal until I found the chain that went with it. I think a lot has to do with the size of the individual links of the chain or the size of the clasp...unless they are balled up. Also sometimes when you dig a signal that is low and broken like that and then you cant find it in the dug sand pile (after checking the hole), flatten it out with your foot and keep going over it. As your tests show the thin ones disappear after a few inches so you have to flatten your pile to an inch or so. The big fattys are what its all about though. I dream of big fat 14k chains.

Might have picked up the signal better if you passed over the clasp insted of the middle of the chains similar to bunched up, as the clasp usually is bigger, great vids btw
