Tony's Expert Opinion
Minelab Excalibur
I am an avid metal detectorist and have been for over 10 years now. One thing that I have found out testing various detectors over the years is that many of them are very good in some areas and in other areas they don’t perform so well.The most distinct difference in Florida is the saltwater beaches. You can use any detector in the dry sand but only very few work well in the wet sand or at the waters edge.
The Excalibur is the very best that I have ever used in this area. The depth is simply out of this world! I have dug single coins at depths of up to 18 inches! The Excalibur is also very stable and smooth on the salt beach. It is not the least bit erratic or unstable ever. You have the advantage of the Minelab’s unique iron mask technology also. This gives you the ability to eliminate most small iron such as small nails and other pieces of small iron without losing any depth. This is a very important feature considering all of the hurricanes that we have had over the last few years and all of the house and condo debris on the beaches.
The Excalibur’s 17 frequency BBS technology assures me that I'm not leaving anything behind! Having all of those frequencies working for you all of the time will result in greats finds all the time. I have found numerous gold and silver jewelry items and silver coins that were just too deep for the average detector to recover. I always use the optional aluminum balanced shaft assembly on my Excalibur to reduce fatigue so that I can hunt longer and find more!
To sum up the Excalibur, I would say that it’s just about the perfect detector for use on land and beaches with one detector!
Customer Comments
Thanks for all your help
"Many thanks for the instruction at your store on how to reset my detector to it's original factory settings and how to home in on finds with the center button on the bottom. Well anyway, thanks for all of your help at your store and on the phone plus the directions to the airport from your store. You folks sure are great!"

Thanks for the superior customer service
"I just wanted to say that you did a very good job! I placed an order last Tuesday (March 26) and received my package only 6 days later on April 1st. I was happy at how quick I had received my order. Thanks again for the superior customer service."
Tony W., Fredericksburg, VA
Your staff exudes the true definition of customer service
"Words can't explain the extent of my satisfaction with your company but more importantly your staff. I've ordered several detectors over the past few years and have received quite possibly the best service on could ask for from any company. Everyone from your salesman Tony to your reception and administration staff Debbie and Melanie. It's these people that keep me coming back to Kellyco over and over again for all of my metal detecting needs. With most places you may receive a decent product for a decent price but the service is deplorable. You should feel very proud that your staff exudes the true definition of customer service which results in customer satisfaction. The combination of price and service will keep me coming back to Kellyco again and again. Please keep up the good work and if you haven't already be sure to give Tony, Debbie and Melanie a pat on the back for their continued excellencein customer service."

Jeffrey M., Dayton, OH
Tony was extremely patient and knowledgeable
"I came into your store with no knowledge of detectors. Tony was extremely patient as he explained clearly and concisely all of the features and functions that I was interested in. A very pleasant buying experience."
Ron F., Orlando, FL
Very helpful in telling me the facts
"Tony was very helpful in telling me the facts on Minelab detectors. He was supportive of my decision and provided some helpful hints of what I can expect when using my new Minelab detector."
Today I bought a White's DFX 300 series detector and lots of accessories, Tony was my salesman and I just want to say what a class act he was, I will definitely be letting all my digging buddies in Virginia know how professional, courteous and straightforward the people at KellyCo are. I will be back with all my detecting needs in the future. Again Tony Rocks and KellyCo is the best!
