Excalibur II
Land to 66 m deep — 17-frequency BBS for saltwater treasure.
Minelab Excalibur II waterproof underwater metal detector with multi-frequency BBS technology, submersible to 66 m for beach, surf and dive treasure hunting.
Overview
The Minelab Excalibur II is a rugged amphibious metal detector powered by Broad Band Spectrum (BBS) technology, which transmits 17 frequencies at once (1.5–25.5 kHz) for excellent depth and accurate target identification — even in saltwater, where single-frequency machines struggle. Fully submersible to 66 m (200 ft), it moves effortlessly from dry land, beach and wet sand to deep underwater wreck sites, making it a favourite of beachcombers, surf waders and divers. Superior ground rejection greatly reduces false signals in salt and mineralised conditions, so discrimination stays fast and accurate while sensitivity and depth remain strong. Inside the coil, RCB amplifies weak target signals and suppresses noise to lift faint, deep finds. A slimline 10″ Double-D hard-wired coil keeps the weight down and balance neutral, while a rechargeable NiMH battery pack delivers long sessions and high-visibility fluorescent bodywork keeps the unit easy to track in the water. An optional side-mount dive shaft makes shallow-water and surf detecting more comfortable.
