I just got my deus a week ago and finally got to go try it out. I took my minelab explore with me also with the 8/6 sef coil.
I first went over an area with the minelab didn't find much a lot of junk and iron in the ground. Found junk and one modern dime. I went back over with the deus and coins started popping out of the ground. I was truly impressed . Nothing older than a 61 penny but the seperation is so much better than my minelab even with the smaller coil. The deus has the 11 inch.

Also I dug a plug and at the bottom were 2 nails and to the side was a penny. The deus sounded off on the penny loud and clear that was very impressive !

The Deus is nice. I have enjoyed mine. I often dig a hole and find more than one thing in it. GL&HH.

You will notice good targets specially coins will hit much harder and be "round" sounding. I use just about any Metal Detector I can get my hands on and I usually grab a XP!

I knew I liked you!;P

I like 8 for coin hunting and 12 for all around. I use 12 most all the time. The advantage of 8 on coils is not enough to pull me away from 12 as its so sensitive on small stuff I dont want to miss.

I've used 4 quite a bit. It can be somewhat deceiving so its good to have a duplicate 8KHz program with appropriate tone breaks.
That way you can ID deep iron and aluminum objects that will often come in as a questionable coin signal in 4KHz. (It will save your back and is 99.99% accurate)
4KHz is set at TX-3 so it lights up targets and can be rather noisy in a trash filled area.

No, but does not surprise me! Can't wait to see what it will do.

Great idea! This helps on bottle caps as well.

Andys coin program from his book and just messing around with reactivity and silencer settings . The gb I've left in tracking . I changed discrimination to 6.5 and didn't use the notch instead used tones in the notched out position. I figured using tones for discrimination instead of notch and higher discrimination levels should help on the depth department . I may be wrong on that if anyone knows differently would like to hear .

I think you are approaching this PERFECTLY and I'll bet you get more depth because of it. I've been amazed at how deep I can go with the 9" coil while using no disc. Like you I just assign an undesirable tone to the crap I dont want to dig and ignore it. If Deus could come up with a volume control for this trash bin of sounds it'd be a great tool. I'd then set the trash bin volume to like 2 and let all the other goodies sing out.
