Kodiak - what settings are you using on the Deus? I'm having a lot of trouble getting to know this machine and I'm just not seeing all the performance everyone else seems to be seeing. A lot of the sites I hunt are like yours. I'm curious to see what you're doing that I'm not. Admittedly, I've stuck with the factory programs and haven't deviated much from those.

Ranger, contact VABUCKHUNTER on this site.....we detect together and he is doing very well with the Deus. He struggled at first with this machine but definitely has it figured out now as he does very well with it. He would be a good one to talk to as he is only one county away so ground conditions, etc. will be very similar. Once figured out, a man with a Deus will have no need for anything else to hunt iron infested areas....

I run freq 12 or 18 kHz silencer at 0 or -1 reactivity 2 or 3 depending on how trashy it is. Iron volume 2 full tones sense at 85 or higher. Ground balance for site disc 0 or 1 or 2 depending on feedback. No notch. Listen to good tones that seem small in between trash.

BTW, how often do you get the fail message when ground balancing by pumping?

All I got to say is I own the Racer 2 and have found Jewellery, new coins and a lot of coins dating from 1700's-1880's.

I ain't been sent any test units, or being paid by anyone, or I don't do any racer 2 videos on youtube etc...I just simply KNOW FOR A FACT that having owned AT Pro, Ace 250, Euroace, Racer 1 and Cscope that the Racer 2, In my opinion...is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

Simple as that.

Found this coin 8" on farmland a few weeks ago:

It's dated 1837.

Queen Victoria ‘To Hanover’ gaming tokens or jettons, 1837 to 1867
