Minelab was founded in 1985. The company was founded by Bruce Candy, who is one of several top metal detector designers in the world. In this article you will find a history of the company and a brief description of all the detectors the company has produced, including photos and manuals. With the big debut coming up, it's worth remembering a bit of history even though my original text is from 2010.

I've been thinking about searching in an aquatic environment for a while now. A long time friend of mine had been doing this for a few years, but I still couldn't bring myself to buy an underwater detector, saying I would wait until next year, and so it went on until now. I got the opportunity to try out the Excalibur II metal detector.

When I bought the CTX3030 detector, it changed my search life forever. My confidence grew, the number of finds multiplied manifold...and the depth at which we searched...well, let's just say Australia wasn't that far from the bottom of my dug holes.
