Ferrous Grump Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I have a Minelab Excalibur II that needs TLC as well as a Tesoro Sand Shark. I am having trouble deciding what I should do with each. I feel for the price of getting the Excalibur fixed, I could buy one of the newer machines for about the same costs and have a warranty. The Sand Shark is a PI machine that seems to short out when in use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt4gold Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Research Issues with both and DIY repairs. If you don’t have any experience with electronics try to find a friend who’s does have some. Last resort, sell for whatever you and invest the money in a new detector. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill (S. CA) Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Personally I would sell both as is on Ebay and roll the money into a new detector. The Tesoro should fetch a good price even though it needs repair and Excals are always in demand. Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Sand shark look for any corrosion inside on the wires and board. All clean inside then it could be bad coil cable. Usually if a pi shorts out its toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
