- Опубліковано 27 вер 2016
- This is the first of a three part series on how I perform my remote PP switch modification to the Minelab Excalibur. It's not your typical PP mod. I hope you watch even if you don't own an Excal..

Very ingenious idea. Your presentation was very easy to follow, unlike many "how-to" videos I see on UA-cam.
Thanks Ralph.. High praise my friend..
Thank you for coming up with this Tony. Your videos are giving me the courage to consider some mods and I just e-mailed you about parts. George.
I’ll get to you email right away bud. Sorry for the delay. Happy new year to you and yours..
Great video, Tony. Very informative. Thanks. It's not for me but I enjoyed watching a craftsman working.
Thanks Jer.. Ya, I like to putter around with my tools:) Thanks for watching bud..
Tony that's Fantastic , I wished I lived closer to you so I could have you do my Excal ,
Yeah, I imagine postage would be a lot.. If ya ever get in the neighborhood though, let me know..
Impressive Tony. You remind me of an old friend. He would tell me. If man made it it will break..If man made it I will improve on it..if man breaks it I will fix it. 🇨🇦 great stuff Tony look forward to #2 & #3. Cheers.
Thanks Ken. I have a feeling I have a limited audience on this one:)
Great Tony! Thanks for sharing!! ATB GL& HH
Thanks for watching arty..
tony- this is a great video. easy to follow and understand. The downside is with my history I would start the project then get messed up and have to look for someone to fix my mess. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3. If you ever decide to do this for others for a fee of course please let me know.
Hi Joe. Yeah, I had the same issue a while back. I tried my hand at brain surgery and it just didn't work out.. Had to call in an expert. In the end, patient survived but the result may explain some of my wife's erratic behavior as of late:)..
PM or email me and I'll tell ya what it'll cost ya for me to do it for ya.. That is the Excall mod, not the brain surgery...
Hey Tony-didn't have your email so I left a message on your Facebook page with my email
Thank you sir for the time and effort of putting this vid together for us, will any multistrand conductor cable work like for instance irrigation valve to controler cable? Cant wait for part two. Gl and hh.
My pleasure Alex. I don't think I'd use just any old multi strand wire. I don't think it would last long after a few thousand flexes. The wire I use is hi flex cable and it is also UV, water and oil resistant. Part 2 is up bud..
On my Bucket list to meet you some day , Tony
That's cool but I think a trip to the Grand Canyon would be a better choice:)
Excellent video Tony. I like your video. And can't wait for the next one. I will save it for my eventual mod on excal ... Only thing I don't know is how to make those connections waterproof and able to withstand pressure of water.
It is EDs excal?
Thanks.. Watertight conns are pretty easy. As long as you fill all voids with some kind of waterproof sealant before you shrink tube them. They should stand up to extreme water pressure. Yes, this machine belongs to Ed..
Been waiting for you to do this video. I hope your going to give a parts list breakdown. And if you touched more on the changing of the coil that would put you over the top. Thanks buddy
So PM or email me and I'll be glad to furnish any details you like.. Thanks for watching bud..
+Tony Eisenhower I live in San Diego we should meet up! Watching your videos swade me to go with the exal. Thanks for all the info and entertainment
I don't think ya can wrong with the Excal, It sure has done good by me:) I'm sure we'll run into each other eventually:) Thanks for watching bud...
Great job Tony In the future could you do a video on your handle design?Thanks and keep them coming!
Not a bad Idea.. I put it in the queue.. Thanks for watching Bob..
Sweet Tony I have been waiting for these videos.Im gonna mod my Xcall over the winter. Question,I know your more of a wet sand hunter then a water hunter.Myself im chest deep most of the time.How do you think this mod will hold up being completely submerged in the saltwater 100%of the time?As always great video thanks for your time....GL HH
I'm chest deep a lot in the heat of the summer. I'm quite sure my switch will withstand 100% immersion with no problem.. I'm going on 2 years with my original design.. Thanks for watching bud...
hey Tony at 4 minutes and 45 seconds into this video you show a bunch of the wires soldered together did you have to isolate those to keep them for shorting out?
HI buddy thanks for watching. Yes, I apply liquid tape and heat shrink each
solder joint separately. I show how this is done on the clip following this one.
All the best...
great videos. Do you sell pinpoint mod kits?
Yes I do!! PM or Email me for more details if yer interested:)
Tony can you do a video on checking cal batteries and charger. Mine is having an issue. It would be good to have a reference.
Dunno if it helps but I use an after market smart charger. It makes a big difference in batt life IMHO...
Interesting.
what is the switch your using and its screw holder ?
I make my own system out of two different flashlights. The cut-down barrel and switch holder from one and the tail cap switch and neoprene switch cover from another. Aqua Seal and epoxy makes them watertight. I expect close to an IP68 rating.
Ingenious !
Sorry to say, the interest may be a bit on the underside of grand. Perhaps Kate Upton would draw a few more viewers, but I doubt it. Ask the doc to be sure he leaves no sponges inside on his quest for polyps!! Good luck
Sponges!! OMG.. LOL!!
Tony where can i buy the parts you use please?
Email me Jeff and I’ll give you the info.
thats what i will have you do for me soon
Were any space pods injured during the making of this video?
LOL. I may have used some of the same type of pod material during the soldering process, but I'm not sure..
Tony donde puedo conseguir el botón gracias por tus videos👍
Thank you Emilio..
I recently purchased a excalibur with this mod and not sure if I'll care much for this mod. If I decide to not have this fracture hiw can it be undone?
Depends on how the mod was done. Send me a couple pics of what you have to tony@idigbeaches.com and I’ll try to give you a better answer. But if I were you, I’d keep it like it is for a while. It might just grow on you. I love mine😆
@@TonyEisenhower thanks Tony I was going to try it first and see how I like it. I'll probably use if as a hip mount and I usually use my Garrett pinpointed. Thx for your response.
Sorry Tony, but you lost me. I don't have an Excalibur and any of the tools or expertise necessary for this - so it's about as interesting as watching someone else's colonoscopy. I'll wait for dog beach....
Well dang Sandy!! I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy next year and I was hoping to make a video.. Are you saying it might have a limited audience??
