XP DEUS OWNERS

Truth · Aug 16, 2016

How hard is it to get the basics down on XP Deus? I have a AT Pro now. Also I heard it vary hard to discriminate between a bottle cap and a quarter, is that true?

You should have little troubles withe the switch, assuming you used pro audio on the AT.

No, it's not very hard in full tones with 0 discrimination to skip most bottle caps at avg. depth. Add more than 1 to the disc....like 2 and up, and things get harder for sure.

If one learns the full tones on the deus, then the controller is needed only for making advanced settings changes.

I hunted with the AT Pro for 3 years before I picked up the Deus. I like to hunt wide open with no disc or notch and sensitivity as high as it will go and still be stable. I use the full tones with the Deus but you can set it up with 3 tones like the AT Pro, or even 2 or 4 or 5 tones. My advice would be to start out in one of the preset programs to get a feel for it and used to the sounds. Thats what i did and once I got comfortable with it I started making adjustments as to the conditions of the site I was hunting. It has a small learning curve coming off the pro but I quickly caught on. There are a few tricks you can use to determine a bottle cap from a quarter until you learn to hear the difference. One is the XY screen and the other is switching frequencies. I loved the AT Pro when I was using it but now that I have learned the Deus and its capabilities...well the AT Pro is now collecting dust, maybe its time to sell it! You wont regret the Deus. :thumbsup:

I switched from ATP to Deus 2 years ago. The first day was NOT good... but it got better and better.

My advice would be... go hunt easy coins at the park or school a couple of times, as well as utilize the practice garden. I was too cool to do that, so when I came home crying because I couldn't find anything... everyone laughed at me! That made me cry even harder!

Once you learn the machine, you will love it!
