What Coil(s) Would You Like to See for Dēus II?

[Bucket Lister]

XP makes the 9", 11", and 13" x 11" for Dēus II. It doesn't appear that any of their other wireless coils (Dēus, ORX) will work with Dēus II (IDK if that's good or bad ) and since there aren't likely to be any 3rd party/aftermarket coil options, I'm curious what other sizes/shapes/types folks might like to see (if any), and why.

One like the HF 6x9 for the Deus1

 

[Tom Slick]

5X9" or 6" round for me.

Wow, that seems small (newb here).
Would that be for tight spots, weight, both?
Can you get the same depth, discrim., etc. with those as with larger coils?

No comment on coil sizes but as far as Deus1 and ORX coils being compatible with the Deus2…

These machines may look very similar and of course share their design and technology DNA, but they are very different machines, making compatibility impossible. The important difference, the D1 and ORX are both single frequency, the D2 is simultaneous multi-frequency. They are very different technologies.

The D1, ORX, and D2 are very different from other models and all other brands. Their processing brains are imbedded inside the coils. With all other detectors, the brains are in their control boxes.

I'd love a 5x9 to get depth but also a smaller scan

Tbh even a 6" round wouldn't be too bad but for sure in the areas I search there's a lot of iron and such unfortunately when you find 200 year old coins in almost mint condition and hammered silver coins between the trash.. you really wanna have a smaller coil.

Yes and Not really

A smaller coil lets you separate trash better

Imagine in a line you have a Nail - hammered coin - nail with like 5cm gap between them

something like the 11x13" coil could very likely ignore the hammered coin because of the discrimination ignoring the nail signals on either side.

the 5x9 tho would have less than half the width so you'd likelier hear the hammered coin too.

the tradeoffs for big Vs smaller coil are
pro bigger:
- deeper scanning
- more sensitive usually

pro smaller:
- a lot lighter
- Obviously better in tighter spaces such as for woodland
- better trash separation

the pro for one thing is an opposite for the other.

such as a bigger coil is deeper but the smaller is shallower

That being said, the Deus 2 especially with it's fast multi frequency coils and processing speed doesn't have too much issue separating usually.

7” round or 5.5” x 9.5” elliptical would be helpful.

Learning the sounds of what hte machine is telling the listener is the first step.
The Deus 2 with the 9" is quite capable in separating targets that are entrenched in nails.
A smaller coil might lessen the field (meaning the amount of targets under the coil at one time)
Just in the time of owning the D2 I have many times dug 3-5 nails out of hte same hole with the intended target.

Now if they were to bring out a discrimination feature for the pin pointer (sign me up )
I still likes the inline probes that SunRay had for the Minelabs (shielding sucked though)

I really enjoyed the 5x9" elliptical as what the HF on the Deus l would be awesome.

So my like would be that but the Freq. would go to 70.

Only 3-5 ‽ 🤣 The other day I was getting 10± rusty nails in any hole within 20' of the house. Every time I flipped a plug, I had to sit down to comfortably sift through all the nails, widen/deepen the hole, repeat--hoping to find whatever target caused me to dig there.

I felt like a kid in a sandbox! 🤣

Well saying the real truth would only make others think that we'd be telling untruths.
So I just say 3-5 🤣

I needs another magnet set up for swishing around in the soil to lesson the small iron that the PP detects.

Now that'd be sweet. Dig your hole, put on your electromagnetic cestus (think Thanos' glove), stick your fist in the hole, press the button, and suck all those nails right outta the earth! 🤣

The EMI factor would be an issue. 🤣

Only while the button is depressed!
Just keep anybody with a pacemaker or facial jewelry 100 meters away! 😛

I wonder what they do with old MRI magnets.... 🙄
