I got this last summer, believe it's 2 years old. Will include the Andy Sabisch handbook. This set up currently Cost $1230 new. I'll take $850 free shipping. It has the 11" coil and is Version 3.2

The Deus is a great machine, it's just that I find it hard to pick it up since I am so in tune with my F75LTD. Here's your chance to swing the Deus at a great price. I have kept it charged and hunted about a dozen times with it. It has sniffed out an 1834 cappped bust half dime a couple weeks ago in and a gold ring 2 weeks prior.

It's a great machine, and if I got it 3 years ago, I'd probably still be swinging it, but since it never found me anything my F75LTD would't have beeped on, I'll keep the machine I know better and am more confident swinging. Many of my friends swear by their Deus, some of them upgraded from an AT Pro.

You know our friend Loco speaks the truth here which sometimes takes us years to realize. Many of us have owned far too many machines at great expense. The truth is, if we've a good and capable machine we trust, why in the world would we continue chasing rainbows - that dream solution. It's kinda similar to your feelings after a divorce - and then you remember what you'd lost. Moral of the story, if you've a good machine you trust, don't get the wandering eyes....

Sometimes I philosophize too much!!!

So very true. Stick with a machine and learn it. I think I could get it down to three machines and cover all my bases (sea, land, and bad land lol.) Anywho, great deal here for someone who wants to Deus, if it hasn't already been sold.

Though Loco, I think it would have grown on you if you had just gotten the wireless headphones. :laughing7:

I personally know that the Deus is an absolutely great and extremely capable machine. My friend Meteor Man kicked my CTX butt with his Deus. He passed away late last Summer - what an incredible treasure hunter, started swinging in the early 60's, passed at 84.

I know what his secret was now = he knew what he was doing with his Deus. I'd yet to get there with my CTX.

And I have the very capable F75LTD, but way more swing time on the Deus so I have the opposite situation of Loco regarding the detector collecting dust. Though I will hang onto the F75 because of the accessory coil choices which will outperform the Deus in certain limited situations. I like to have my bases covered.
