I was interested in a Deus then I saw the Rutus. There's a lot of impressive videos on the detector. It seems to be equal to or better than the Deus. It was popular on the forums in 2017 but since then no one talks about it anymore. The only way to buy a new one in the US is from ebay. Anyone who has used it in the US I'd like to hear your opinion on it.

I have used Rutus Alter 71 before, and I can really say it is a very capable metal detector. It offers so much in customization that you can make it do anything you would want or need. I love that you can hunt with it out of the box and modify it to exactly your needs as you learn it.

I saw one video where it shows the Rutus having trouble giving a stable tone and VID to a nickel. It treats it like a trash target. Did you have the same problem?
