I recently purchased a Minelab Excalibur and could not be happier! It has found me quite a bit of loot already. My only complaint was that it was a little heavy and my arm got tired quick.  I have seen other metal detectorists using the Minelab Excalibur with a hip mount and decided to make my own. After a few hours swinging your Minelab Excalibur, you might want to hip mount all of the hardware and remove some of that strain from your arm. If you don’t get tired as quick that means that you have more time to hunt, which means more loot to find. 

I decided to to my make my own Minelab Excalibur Hip Mount. It is very easy to make and it cost me less than two dollars. Here is what you will need to make the Minelab Excalibur Hip Mount.

Nylon Screws and nuts. Take your battery pack to the hardware store and match up the correct sizes.
