Metal detecting is an enjoyable and rewarding activity enjoyed worldwide. Understanding your detector through this manual will help you join the ranks of treasure hunters!
The Excalibur II is an amphibious detector, performing equally well on land, beaches, and underwater. It offers excellent depth and target identification capabilities, reaching depths of up to 66m (200ft).
Minelab's proprietary BBS (Broad Band Spectrum) technology allows simultaneous transmission on 17 frequencies, providing superior depth, sensitivity, and accuracy.
Despite its advanced performance, the Excalibur II is easy to operate, with settings optimized for immediate use. It also features automatic ground balancing for optimal performance.
The Excalibur II comes with a lightweight 10" coil (standard) for reduced fatigue. Rechargeable NiMH batteries provide extended operating time. The coil cover is fluorescent for visibility in low light or underwater conditions.
Minelab wishes you success on your detecting adventures!
How Metal Detectors Work
Metal detectors generate an electromagnetic field around their coil. This field penetrates the ground. When the coil passes over a conductive metal object, it alters the field, sending a signal to the control box, which alerts the operator.
Detectors can also determine the size, shape, and composition of buried metal objects. Generally, larger objects are easier to detect.
The operating frequency of a metal detector's magnetic field is measured in kilohertz (kHz). Low frequencies (e.g., 1.5kHz) penetrate deeper but have lower sensitivity. High frequencies penetrate less but are more sensitive to small objects. The Excalibur II's multi-frequency technology combines the advantages of both.
BBS Wide Band Technology
Most detectors use single or dual frequencies (1-70 kHz). Minelab found that single-frequency detectors perform well in some areas but poorly in others, depending on ground mineralization, trash density, and target size.
BBS Wide Band Technology transmits 17 frequencies simultaneously. This wide frequency range allows the detector to analyze various signals received by the coil.
BBS technology enables accurate target detection in areas with heavy mineralization, high trash density, on land, beaches, or underwater.
Illustrates wave patterns for Single Frequency (one wave), Dual Frequency (two waves), and Multi-Frequency (multiple waves of varying frequencies).

Battery and Charging
Battery Pack
The Excalibur II comes with a sealed NiMH battery pack containing 10 rechargeable batteries. It is pressure tested for underwater use up to 66m (200ft).
Charging the Battery
The battery pack does not need to be removed for charging. The detector includes a multi-function plug and an AC charger (240V/230V/110V) for charging from mains power.
- Disconnect the battery cable from the battery pack (do not remove the pack from the shaft).
- Connect the charger adapter plug.
- Align the battery contacts with the guide screw and connect the adapter plug cable to the battery pack.
- Plug the charger into the AC power outlet. For the first charge, allow 16-17 hours for optimal performance.
A fully charged battery provides 14-19 hours of continuous operation.
Optional rechargeable NiMH battery packs are also available.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is low, the threshold will gradually increase to a continuous tone. Recharge the battery or replace it with alkaline batteries when this occurs. A fully charged battery ensures optimal performance.
Alkaline Battery Pack (Optional Accessory)
Alkaline battery packs are splash-resistant but not waterproof, making them suitable for shallow water or beach detecting. They are not sealed, and the battery compartment must be opened for replacement.
Replacing Alkaline Batteries:
- Turn off the detector before opening the battery compartment.
- Open the battery cover.
- Remove the battery compartment from the battery pack and replace the old batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery compartment and cover.
Note: Use high-quality alkaline batteries. Rechargeable NiMH batteries are not compatible with the alkaline battery pack and will not provide sufficient power.
Detecting Basics
Scanning Technique
The coil must sweep over the ground to find targets. The Excalibur II is a dynamic detector in Discrimination mode, requiring movement to detect targets. In Pinpoint mode, it responds even when stationary.
The detector performs best when the coil is parallel to the ground, whether on land, a beach, or underwater. This maximizes depth, sensitivity to small objects, and minimizes false signals.
When practicing outdoors, sweep the coil from side to side, moving forward gradually. Overlap each sweep by a small margin to ensure complete ground coverage. A typical sweep speed from one side to the other and back should take about 4 seconds. Sweeping too fast can reduce accuracy and cause you to miss deeper targets.
Changing the coil's distance from the ground at the end of each sweep can cause confusion and reduce detection depth.
Diagrams: Show correct scanning motion and coil positioning.
Common Terms
- Blank: When a rejected target is detected, the threshold "blanks" (becomes quiet). This indicates a target is present but has been rejected by the Discrimination pattern. Blanks are useful for distinguishing desired from undesired targets (pg. 29).
- Discrimination: The ability of a metal detector to distinguish desired targets (e.g., jewelry) from unwanted objects (e.g., nails). The Discrimination control allows you to exclude or "ignore" certain targets (pg. 28).
- EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): Sometimes the detector emits a sound even when the coil is not over a target. These signals are usually caused by nearby sources like power lines or mobile phone towers (pg. 19).
- Ground Noise: Minerals in the soil can also cause random or false signals.
- Target: A metal object buried in the ground. Targets can be ferrous or non-ferrous.
- Target Response: The change in threshold volume (and tone in Discrimination mode) when a target is detected but not discriminated.
- Threshold (Background Audio): The continuous background sound emitted by the detector. It refers to the change in volume (and tone) when a target is detected in Discrimination mode. Listen carefully to the threshold. Concentration is key. Changes in threshold are subtle for deep or small targets (pg. 22).
Control Panel
Control Layout
Discriminate: Controls the type of metal targets to be excluded (e.g., iron nails, foil) (pg. 28).
Sensitivity: Adjusts the detector's response to the environment and targets (pg. 25).
Volume: Sets the audio level of target signals (pg. 24).
Threshold: Increases or decreases the detector's continuous background sound. This control also turns the detector on/off.
Disc/Pinpoint: Switches between Discrimination mode and Pinpoint mode (pg. 27).
Diagram: Illustration of the control panel with labeled knobs.
Turning On the Detector
Turn the Threshold control knob clockwise until it clicks. The detector will turn on.
Note: It is best to turn on the detector outdoors, away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as power lines, transmitters, electric fences, and mobile phone towers, as these can cause false signals or affect performance.
If the detector emits an overload tone, move the coil away from large metal objects. Electronic overload does not harm the detector's circuitry.
Practice
Before excavating, it's crucial to understand the signals your detector provides.
- Gather various items: coins, jewelry, nails, pull tabs, aluminum foil, etc.
- Remove any jewelry or watches from your hands.
- Take the detector outdoors, away from EMI sources and metal objects. Practice on a clear patch of ground.
- Arrange items in a line with spacing. Sweep the detector over them.
- Turn on the detector using the Threshold control, rotating it clockwise until a faint, stable hum is heard.
- Switch to Pinpoint mode.
- Set Sensitivity to 5. The coil will emit a signal even when stationary, indicating environmental responses. Reduce sensitivity to eliminate these false signals (see pg. 25).
- Listen carefully to the detector's signals as you sweep over each item. Larger targets or those closer to the surface produce louder signals.
- Switch to Discriminate mode.
- Set the Discrimination control to 1.
- Sweep over each item again, listening to the signals.
Note: When sweeping over a nail, the threshold hum may temporarily disappear (blank) and then return with a lower tone, indicating a large rejected target.
Continue adjusting the Discrimination control until the pull tab signal is rejected.
Note: When sweeping over a pull tab, the threshold hum may temporarily disappear (blank) and then return with a higher tone, indicating a non-ferrous target that has been rejected.
Diagrams: Illustrate target responses and control settings.
Threshold Adjustment
The threshold is the continuous audio tone or background hum of the detector. It should be set to a low/minimum level that is audible and stable, producing a smooth, gentle hum.
Subtle differences in target signals (for small targets or deep large targets) are difficult to detect if the threshold is too high or too low. A high threshold makes it like trying to hear a whisper in a noisy room, which is also uncomfortable. A low threshold may make faint signals inaudible.
The ideal threshold level should be adjusted based on environmental changes. Your hearing may adapt to lower audio levels over time, or wind conditions may change.
If conditions change, adjust the Threshold control clockwise to increase it or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Diagrams: Show graphs illustrating the effect of different threshold levels on signal audibility.
Volume and Sensitivity
Volume
Target signal volume is controlled by the Volume knob. Turning it clockwise increases the volume. Maximum volume ensures all target signals are heard, with volume proportional to target size and depth. However, very loud signals from large, shallow targets can be uncomfortable.
A slightly lower volume may be more comfortable but could cause you to miss small targets. Experiment with different target sizes to find a comfortable volume level.
Warning: Protect your hearing, as the detector can produce very loud sounds from large or shallow targets.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity adjusts the detector's response to targets and ground conditions. The Sensitivity control allows you to fine-tune this response.
- Auto: Turning the knob fully counter-clockwise to the click engages Auto mode, where the Excalibur II automatically selects the optimal sensitivity level for the current conditions.
- Manual: Turning the knob clockwise to the click engages Manual mode. Continuing to turn clockwise reduces sensitivity. The lowest sensitivity is at the fully clockwise position (1).
Manual sensitivity is useful in clean environments with minimal ground mineralization or minor ground variations, such as dry beaches.
Higher sensitivity increases detection depth but also picks up more noise and ground signals. Use higher sensitivity in stable, low-interference environments.
Lower sensitivity reduces detection depth but filters out unwanted noise and ground signals. Use lower sensitivity in areas with variable ground conditions, high noise, or heavy trash.
For wet beaches, black sand mineralized areas, or underwater detecting, a sensitivity setting of 4 is generally recommended, but adjust based on actual conditions to minimize false signals.
Diagrams: Show the Sensitivity control knob with its range and Auto/Manual settings.
Target Identification and Mode Selection
Target Identification
The Excalibur II categorizes targets into different levels based on conductivity and size. High conductivity targets (e.g., 25-cent coins, 1-dollar coins, 1-pound coins, €0.50 coins) produce higher pitched signals. Low conductivity targets (e.g., small alloy coins, foil, 9-carat gold jewelry) produce lower pitched signals.
Target size also influences conductivity classification; larger targets generally have higher conductivity and pitch.
Ferrous targets (containing iron, like nails or steel) are typically unwanted and appear on the left side of the discrimination scale.
Non-ferrous targets (low iron content, like pure gold, silver, copper, brass) are usually valuable and appear on the right side of the scale.
Diagram: Illustrates various target items (nail, foil, 9K gold ring, coin, pull tab) and their classification as ferrous or non-ferrous.
Mode Selection
The Excalibur II has two modes: Discriminate (Disc) and Pinpoint.
- Discriminate (Disc): In this mode, the Discrimination control is active, allowing you to ignore common ferrous targets like nails, screws, washers, and wire.
- Pinpoint: In this mode, the detector responds to all targets (ferrous and non-ferrous) with the same tone. The Discrimination control is disabled.
Diagram: Shows the Disc/Pinpoint mode selector knob.
Discrimination
Excluding Unwanted Targets
In Discriminate mode, the Discrimination control allows you to ignore specific target signals.
Low Settings (e.g., 1): The detector accepts non-ferrous targets while rejecting ferrous targets (creating a "blank" in the threshold). Higher conductivity targets are accepted, while lower conductivity targets are rejected as the control is turned clockwise.
Diagrams: Show target examples and their relative positions on the discrimination scale, illustrating how settings affect rejection.
The pitch of the returning threshold tone after a blank indicates whether the rejected target was ferrous (lower pitch) or non-ferrous (higher pitch).
Discrimination settings depend on the desired targets and the amount of trash. For example, setting it to 4 might find gold rings but also foil. Setting it higher (e.g., 13) might reject bottle caps but also brass buttons and copper coins. Higher settings might reject valuable items like white gold rings or foil.
Minelab recommends setting discrimination to reject common trash while occasionally accepting unwanted targets, rather than rejecting too much valuable material.
Pull tabs, which have varying conductivity, typically fall between discrimination settings 11 and 15.
Note: If the Excalibur II emits rapid, high-pitched pulses in Discriminate mode, it indicates the coil is near a very large metal object. Lift the coil slightly and re-check the target's position. This overload is normal and does not damage the detector.
Pinpointing
Locating the Target
Use the Pinpoint function to accurately locate a target.
- Switch to Pinpoint mode.
- Sweep the coil slowly over the approximate target area. The audio tone will increase as the coil gets closer and decrease as it moves away. The loudest signal indicates the center of the target.
- Continuously narrow the search area, noting the coil's position. You may use your shoe or a digging tool to mark the spot.
- Sweep over the target area at a 90-degree angle to your initial sweep. The intersection of the loudest signals will pinpoint the target's exact location.
Diagram: Illustrates sweeping the coil to find the center of a target.
Excavating Targets
Always carry a small, sturdy shovel or trowel when detecting.
- Before digging, clear the surface and re-check for the target signal. If the signal disappears, the target is likely among the cleared surface debris.
- Check for other signals near your target. This helps avoid placing excavated soil on another potential target, reducing unnecessary digging.
- If the signal persists, dig a shallow hole, approximately 50mm (2").
- Sweep the coil over the hole. If the signal disappears, the target is in the excavated soil. If the signal remains, continue digging while checking for the signal.
- To avoid damaging the target, start digging approximately 100mm (4") in front of the target's detected position.
- If the signal disappears in the hole, sweep the coil over the excavated soil to pinpoint the target.
Ensure the excavation pit has smooth edges to avoid false signals or masking the target signal.
- Set down the detector. Pick up a scoop of soil and pass it under the coil.
- If no signal is detected, place the soil aside and repeat with the next scoop.
- Once the target is found in your hand, divide the soil into two halves, one in each hand, and pass them under the coil.
- If the target is very small or difficult to see, spread the soil thinly under the coil and gently feel for any non-target objects. The detector will signal when the target is removed.
Warning: Do not wear any metal jewelry or watches when handling excavated soil.
Backfilling Holes: Always fill in any holes you dig. Restore the area as closely as possible to its original state. If you find trash, collect it in a bag and dispose of it properly. Proper site restoration leaves a good impression and allows continued access to detecting sites.
Care and Maintenance
Detector Care
The Excalibur II is a high-quality electronic instrument. Follow these steps for maintenance:
- After use in water, visually inspect the bottom of both shafts. If water droplets or condensation are visible inside, immediately turn off the detector, remove it from the water, remove the battery, and contact your dealer.
- The battery and control box are sealed and pressure tested. Do not attempt to open or modify sealed electronic components or the control box, as this will void the warranty.
- If moisture or condensation appears under the small screws on the rear cap, contact your dealer. If it appears outside the O-ring seal, it is not a concern.
- Avoid exposing the detector to rapid temperature changes. Allow temperatures to change gradually to maintain stable internal temperatures. Extreme changes can cause temporary condensation on the shaft walls; wait for it to dissipate before use.
- Do not expose the detector to direct sunlight, as high temperatures can cause irreparable damage to the coil.
- Salt and sand can accumulate on the Excalibur II. Rinse the detector thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Remove the shaft, battery pack, and armrest, and wipe away salt and sand, paying attention to the battery terminals. Clean the headphone diaphragms' ventilation holes to remove any sediment, which is crucial for balanced left/right audio in underwater detecting.
Battery Care
- The NiMH battery pack is sealed and pressure tested; do not attempt to open it.
- Do not pull or scrape the cables. Excessive force can cause water ingress or cable faults.
- When removing the battery, grip the plug housing, not the cable.
- Minelab applies silicone grease to the battery connection pins during manufacturing to prevent residual moisture buildup, reduce pin electrolysis, and prolong battery life. This grease should be replenished periodically as part of routine maintenance.
- If the detector is not used frequently, recharge the battery every 3 to 6 months.
- Do not immerse the battery in any liquid or allow water to enter the battery compartment after removing the battery.
- Do not use the battery if condensation is visible inside the battery compartment.
- Do not use the battery if it is damaged or deformed.
- Do not charge the battery if the ambient temperature is above 45°C (113°F) or below 0°C (32°F).
- Do not store batteries in hot environments (e.g., on a car dashboard or rear shelf).
- Do not drop or crush batteries.
- Do not short-circuit batteries.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
- If a battery is damaged, return it to an authorized Minelab service center. Using unauthorized accessories will void the warranty. This battery pack contains no user-serviceable parts.
Troubleshooting
No Sound
- Check if the detector is turned on. Turn Threshold and Volume to maximum.
- Check battery pack and power cable connections.
- Ensure the battery is charged.
- Try a different battery pack purchased from a Minelab dealer.
- Check the power cable for breaks, cracks, or severe kinks.
Strange Sounds
- Turn the Sensitivity control clockwise to reduce sensitivity.
- Check the battery pack for proper connection and charge.
- Switch Sensitivity to Auto.
- Check the coil and skidplate for sand or grit.
- Check for overhead power lines or other sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Ensure all controls are set to their correct positions (indicated on the overlay). Check that Threshold, Disc/Pinpoint, and Sensitivity controls are set to the "click" positions.
