First hunt with Deus, I'm a believer with IHP's and gold ring

I pulled the trigger on an XP Deus starter bundle. Keep hearing how good it is in iron and I can now confirm this after running it at my iron infested seated field. I ran it in Deus Fast mode with full tones, 12khz and minimal disc(2.5). Can't imagie running it in 18khz as I was pulling very small non ferrous items. I got five indians and what appears to he a gold childs ring. These were all in an area that I have pounded the past two months. Not a bad first hunt

I wonder if my wife will even notice if I replaced my ATpro🤔. Thanks for posting, and probably convincing me to upgrade!

Excellent hunt!

And congrats on a new machine. At least it's made two people happy already.

With the Deus "pounded hunted out sites" become virgin, but dont tell too many people! Great finds!

Thanks. The three indians on the top are quite nice but the majority of them come out spent. I have renewed hopes for more seated with the Deus

Ill still probably prefer my AT Pro on cleaner and more modern sites but it appears the Deus will mop up what the AT misses

Nice digs toasted. Congrats on the 5 indians and the gold ring. Are there any markings on the ring?

Great finds Toasted and excellent choice on the new machine I got mine last Oct and couldn't believe the stuff I was finding. I thought my T2 and the Deus would compliment each other... and they do... but I found myself gravitating more towards the Deus after a few hunts with it. I did however carry the Deus and T2 around for many hunts just in case. Now I find when a site gets quiet with one machine, the other always squeezes out a few more things. I found myself preferring 18khz for how it hits on targets and get no loss of depth with it (some people say it does)... after many many tests, 100+ hours of use and toggling settings before digging targets, I figured out that reactivity and sensitivity are the huge depth boosters. Best of luck!

The ring is unmarked but it looks old and looks gold. Very little modern stuff has been found here. I did find a newer ring here but i could see it was gold plated. Ill have to get it tested

How do you far with sens at 91+?
That's one setting I haven't bothered to touch yet. I find the most dynamic settings are the reactivity and the silencer

I find the same things. Reactivity and Silencer seem to really make the biggest difference. I typically run with Reactivity 3, Silencer -1, but when its quiet I will drop reactivity to 2 and silencer at -1. I will bump Sens up to ~93 but find that it can get a bit chatty (in my area) any higher than that. I hunt mostly in areas where there is no emi so the chatter must come from the ground. I typically GB manually too, so perhaps I could raise the sens if I enabled the auto track to keep it quieter... haven't tried that yet. My primary site I have pounded so hard there is hardly a non-ferrous signal left. However with the wet ground right now, I am able to move super slow in the hot spot and listen for little clicks or chirps that are not even repeatable always.... signals I wouldnt typically dig... and its been paying off with some deep relics. I still have a lot to learn with the Deus, but I couldn't be happier with it.

Without the remote, I cannot adjust reactivity or silencer but it sounds like the deus fast factory program is close to what most people run who have the remote. Basic 1 is a little deeper with a reactivity of 2 but the silencer is 2 on it. $800 for the remote seems to me like a lot of money for slightly better performance
