After too much deliberation, I finally purchased a new detector, the XP Deus. Don't get me wrong, I love my AT Pro, but decided that it was time to add a new weapon to my arsenal. Started my day with my old love. She seldom ever lets me down and today was no exception. Found the 1952 Franklin Half on a wooded hillside next to a small pond. Gave off a beautiful 89-90 VDI.

Later in the day, I took the XP Deus for its maiden voyage. Quite a different experience from the other detector, but I found it to be very user friendly. Started with the pre-set " Basic" program. I wasn't expecting to find much, but after about an hour, I managed a 1917 Merc, and an 1889 IHP. Not a bad way to start a new relationship!

The local wildlife seemed to agree! Thanks for taking a look. HH>

I only have 1 Ben in 4 years. Thatโ€™s a nice one.

Congrats on scoring with the Deus, right out of the box. I went from ATP to Deus 3.5 years ago. Youโ€™re going to love it.

Well done.

Nice job on the coins. The AT Pro is a good, proven machine. BTW that deer is fuzzy, for sure! Kinda cool. If you get into a trashy area, go to the Deus Fast mode. It works wonders in trash.

Well done, it's always nice to see results from both. Was the afternoon hunt with Deus in a spot already hit with the Pro?

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm very excited, and looking forward to learning about my new detector.
Pepperj- Yes, both the Merc and the IHP came from spots I had hit pretty thoroughly with the AT Pro. I'm hoping that the XP Deus will be able to sniff out a lot of other goodies I've missed with the Garrett. Stay tuned for future updates.

Nice finds. The ground is still frozen here in the western part of Mass. I'm surprised the buck hasn't dropped his antlers yet.
