The Minelab Excalibur Family
Pinpointing with the Excalibur
When the approximate location of the target has been determined, move the
coil slowly over the target. The audio tone will increase in volume while
moving towards the target and decrease in volume as you pass it. The tone will
be loudest when the coil is directly over the target.
Quite often the detector will be producing its maximum volume for a broad
area over the target. This generally indicates that the target is near the surface
or is quite large.
It may also be beneficial to switch to “Pin Point” mode, because in this mode
the Excalibur produces a fast, sharp response to targets.
The open design of the BBS coil makes it easy to mark the ground directly
about the target to aid its recovery.
