Impressed with the deus

[carb897]

I just got my deus a week ago and finally got to go try it out. I took my minelab explore with me also with the 8/6 sef coil.
I first went over an area with the minelab didn't find much a lot of junk and iron in the ground. Found junk and one modern dime. I went back over with the deus and coins started popping out of the ground. I was truly impressed . Nothing older than a 61 penny but the seperation is so much better than my minelab even with the smaller coil. The deus has the 11 inch.

Also I dug a plug and at the bottom were 2 nails and to the side was a penny. The deus sounded off on the penny loud and clear that was very impressive !

Welcome to a whole new world of detecting!

The Deus is nice. I have enjoyed mine. I often dig a hole and find more than one thing in it. GL&HH.

You will notice good targets specially coins will hit much harder and be "round" sounding. I use just about any Metal Detector I can get my hands on and I usually grab a XP!

Hi Bart . Your the one I bought it from .

 

[carb897]

Does any one use the 4klz I noticed it hits really good on coins .

Hi Bart . Your the one I bought it from .

I knew I liked you!;P

I like 8 for coin hunting and 12 for all around. I use 12 most all the time. The advantage of 8 on coils is not enough to pull me away from 12 as its so sensitive on small stuff I dont want to miss.

I've used 4 quite a bit. It can be somewhat deceiving so its good to have a duplicate 8KHz program with appropriate tone breaks.
That way you can ID deep iron and aluminum objects that will often come in as a questionable coin signal in 4KHz. (It will save your back and is 99.99% accurate)
4KHz is set at TX-3 so it lights up targets and can be rather noisy in a trash filled area.

Does anyone know about the update there working on? Heard it's supposed to be out before to long .

No, but does not surprise me! Can't wait to see what it will do.

Great idea! This helps on bottle caps as well.

What program are you using?

 

[carb897]

Andys coin program from his book and just messing around with reactivity and silencer settings . The gb I've left in tracking . I changed discrimination to 6.5 and didn't use the notch instead used tones in the notched out position. I figured using tones for discrimination instead of notch and higher discrimination levels should help on the depth department . I may be wrong on that if anyone knows differently would like to hear .

I think you are approaching this PERFECTLY and I'll bet you get more depth because of it. I've been amazed at how deep I can go with the 9" coil while using no disc. Like you I just assign an undesirable tone to the crap I dont want to dig and ignore it. If Deus could come up with a volume control for this trash bin of sounds it'd be a great tool. I'd then set the trash bin volume to like 2 and let all the other goodies sing out.
