XP DEUS it's kind of hard to go head to head with these boat anchor detectors!I I have been detecting hard for the last 10 years! My dad was a compass dealer back in the day,I have used many detectors thru my well known wheeling and dealing so I'm not just someone that has a detector to sit in the closet,I go 3to 5 times a week and have have many hours on many machines,I won't bad mouth any of the detector companies,it just seems to me that we finally have a machine that has caught up with the modern technology,between iPads smart phones,and other personal devices,we not only do we have a brilliant detector,that is deep,quick recovery and awesome pinpointing,it only weighs less than 2 lbs,I do think there will be a little more time and practice for the (seasoned detectorist) but the new generation of detectorist this is what their looking for as far as technology,I don't understand how some of the detector companies had a great machine,and their new versions are heavier than they were before,now their coming out with a special harness! Lol and other companies just don't seem to be caught up in the new tecnology,Yes it's not for everyone,but if you like gigging good targets our of iron,and want a light detector,then this is the one.

Once the competition hits Deus, the price will surely drop.

Were having a raffle for a brand new deus that was donated by the company and the money from tickets to help wounded warriors. I've seen the machine and im very impressed with the look and feel of it. Only a 500 tickets are being sold so our few groups involved gives me a good chance to win it. I hate it when thousands are involved its more like winning the lottery, at least I have better odds this way. Would be hard to put away my ATP So a deus would have to impress me big time.

Ill b the first one to day theres nothing wrong with the Atpro I own one & actually would sell my deus or v3i over it due to its versatility, I was simply just trying to say that it would b hard to do an actual comparison between both the deus & Atpro mayb I should have worded it differently

Maybe...I have yet to hit anything with my Deus that my ATP wouldn't have hit though. So far I'm not seeing ANY performance advantage in the Deus.
It will hit deeper planted targets in my back yard but it hasn't found anything deeper in the field. Separation toss up, I find it easier with the ATP though.
I also find the ATP to be much easier in locating the targets (pinpointing). I can wiggle the ATP's 5x8 and find my target with it's tip and it's right there. I have a bit more of an issue with the Deus.
I'm not denying the Deus's potential but until potential turns into real results (for me), I'm not sold on the "better" aspect.

Wish Andy's book was out!
