The Minelab Excalibur Family
Figure 1 - Detector comparison chart
The most important factor when comparing detectors with and without BBS
circuitry is that BBS-based detectors have the ability to hunt in even the most
mineralized areas at maximum performance without the need to ground-
balance the detector manually.
As soon as the Excalibur is turned on and swept across the ground, the ground
mineralization is analyzed and then compensated for by the microprocessor.
This ensures that the Excalibur can locate targets deeper than most other units
currently on the market.
One of the major overall benefits of BBS technology is that although it
automatically operates at 17 frequencies — all at the same time — it is actually
easier to use than most of its competitors. Because it is microprocessor
controlled, all you need do is to set the threshold, discrimination, and volume,
and the rest is done for you automatically.
A BBS detector will penetrate more deeply, discriminate more accurately, and
can be used in even the worst ground conditions. The bottom line is that when
you use a Minelab detector such as the Excalibur with its BBS technology, you
will find more good targets than you will with any other detector.
