I was wondering if anyone has used their XP Deus to find Gold

[motohed]

I posted this in the metal detecting for Gold thread a while back with no responce , so I figured I would post it here . So is anyone using there Deus for fingind Gold nuggets or placer Gold ?

I am not using my Deus for gold.

I felt bad that nobody answered, so there you go. Perhaps no answers is indicative of the fact that nobody is using a Deus for gold hunting...

Just my two cents worth.

I've seen some youtube videos with good responces on finding Gold , but I would like to get a little more insite from people here . I am also looking at the Makro Gold Racer as a Gold specific machine , I have there pinpointer and it is by far the best pointer I've ever had . I know I should not be talking about them in this forum but JMHO .

The new coil and software coming out in the summer will allow for higher frequencies and be a better coil for finding small gold. The new coil should take the XP Deus up to 50 KHZ.

Hi Wayne , any idea what the price will be for the new coil will be , and maybe the size ?

Correction on frequencies on my earlier post.It's elliptical, 4.7" x 9.5". It will operate at 10/20/30/ or 40 kHz. No pricing yet. It will be an accessory coil at release, so not included in standard packages on release.

I heard that the new coil will be able to operate in 4,8,12, and 18 kHz as well as the new frequencies.

I don't have any information that states that, but you may be correct. All that I have seen shows the new coil at 10/20/30/40.

I hope this is the case as well, but if not 10 is close to 8 and 12, same with 20 to 18 so I will get it regardless just because it's smaller than my 9".

BTW FWIW - The latest information I have from multiple reputable sources is that XP is now [unfortunately] targeting a fall release for the 4.0 Deus software update and the new hardware (hf elliptical coil, wireless pinpointer, and two-box deep seeking cache antenna). Hope I am wrong and we are pleasantly surprised by an earlier release, but it is not looking that way at present.

Just press on the frowny face on my post. It may not do anything, but if it makes you feel better...lol

To un-hijack the thread from the OP, I have used the DEUS Gold Field program, which is like an all metal mode for the Deus, when relic hunting. I did not find gold, but at the highest frequency setting (18khz) it did find very small targets that registered in the gold range. Very sensitive, deep program.

I have to add that I have recently done some testing , with some small amounts of placer gold , that I have panned out and put in small plastic vials , I thought , the out come was pretty good for the minimal amounts of Gold , I had to work with , Less than Half a gram . I got 4" to 6" deep with my testing , I think it would probly be a little deeper in virgin soil maybe . The reason I say maybe , is because I did'nt think to add any black sands or magnetite in my test holes like you would find in the natural state . JMHO
