Over the moon new Deus owner................

[Donnie B from VA]

Wait until you noobs see what the x/y screen is all about.. the Deus is my favorite detector. Good luck guys!

I tried the X/Y screen this past weekend and I am going back to the Horseshoe. I'm a relic hunter. It locks up great on coins but calls everything else iron. I don't want to miss any relics by looking at the screen. It works better for me to go by the tones.

Is the cover you got on the control worth getting?

Nice finds Donnie.

Only problem I found with that silicon cover is that over just a few weeks time, dirt and grit on your gloves will really scratch it up to the point that the cover takes on a hazy/foggy look such that the screen underneath it is basically unreadable. A better bet is one of those fabric sleeves with a plastuc window in front that seem to hold up to the abuse better.

I haven't had that problem. I don't clean my screen with my gloves. I usually just wet a finger and wipe it off after taking my glove off. It is very hard to see through the silicon cover without the backlight turned on so I just leave it lit up all day. I read in the manual that it doesn't hurt the battery life to leave it on. I may get one of the fabric ones at some point because of that issue though.

Hey Donny B, a certified New England cellar hole hunter like yourself should use the arm band controller holder. It will make your life a lot easier. You'll never have to worry about the controller popping of the stem when hiking through the brush, or dropping it into a stream. Also with the arm band , you can basically just toss the Deus to the ground and not worry about breaking anything. You will be amazed at how you will like doing that. Get a good signal, toss Deus to the side, dig target, pick up Deus and move on to the next target. It's the only way to roll

So much this. I picked up some wired earbuds with a volume control. Run them up the inside of my shirt sleeve and use a safety pin to keep em from tugging on my ears. Makes for a relatively snag free and tremendously more comfy hot weather solution.

Sounds like an XP ORX would be right up your alley

Yes - great point!

Hi there, I just jumped from Garret AT PRO to Deus, and I got my new device last Saturday. I went for a run in a park nearby my place in the Netherlands and I love the Deus detector. Such a huuuuge difference from the Garret and a lot of functionality.

Very light in weight, I enjoyed the run with it very much yesterday. I love my Deus already
