That is funny.." Just got it, not powered up and I hate it already.

That is a interesting approach....

Directly expressing a desire for a negative outcome can tempt fate or bring about the opposite.

Use the discrimination controls to eliminate iron signals. I'd leave a few on both ends of the scale though as some gold and silver will wrap around. I agree that setting it up for diving is pretty ridiculous with that antenna BS. If you can live with the quirks, it does work good underwater though. Fresh water doesn't need anything special on settings usually. If in bad black sand, you may need to try a salt beach setting to see if that helps. Just experiment in the area you wish to detect to see which mode works best for you.
 
man what a pos, its so chattery in every mode, in my back yard, no interference, what do i do to get it to chill, its litterally going crazy in every mode. at default settings it should be usable in every mode or at least one

Sounds like you have a lot of EMI in your back yard. The Deus has issues with EMI from underground cable TV lines and noisy overhead transmission lines, otherwise it's fairly quiet.
Use the frequency scan when you are in a noisy area (Press and hold the upper right button on the remote until you see the screen change to the scanning display).
You can also quiet the noise down by notching from 98-99. A little more can be reduced by notching 5 and below (turn off iron volume).
That cuts a lot of the annoying chatter without interfering with most targets, hopefully quieting it down so you can use it in noisy areas without too much aggravation.
 
Try it in other locations to see if it's a site problem or a detector problem.
