XP Metal insiders news DEUS saltwater coil & 30FT Waterproof version coming up

[frogmaster-riviera]

Hi guys!

Had some news from XP Metal company, famous for there DEUS detector which is by far on of the best land detector available on the market.

1 - They are lunching in the following month (september/ october) a saltwater coil for their DEUS that will be enables the DEUS users to enjoy wet sand and surf detecting

2 - A waterproof version of the DEUS, 30FT down.... for the the end of the year!

Those 2 products will for sure represent the best of the best for every beach / underwater detectorist!

Waterproof Deus...you got my attention...never used one but have heard great things about the Deus...It might end up being the lightest water detector on the market.

That r good news I was wondering when they will release some detector for this use , unfortunately i buy new 13'' coil last week since my old one stop working. I guess i will wait new deus to go out and then see to buy new coil or new machine. Anyway good info frogmaster.

Hi Casper,

Weight is not an issue of course and I already use carbon shaft for my DEUS as replacement of the stock shaft. It is less "designed" and "functional" but much more resistant.

I'm sure that using a carbon upgrade of their stock solution will solve 100% of the probable durability issue.

Concerning the detector side..... imagine having a DEUS in the wade or underwater:

=> all my actual detectors are available on ebay for auction!

Bye bye oldies, hello real performance and technology

Ive heard good things about the Deus as well. This could be interesting to see if it can get the depth and still maintain the sensitivity to small gold its known for in salt water. Isnt it currently a single freq machine.......if so hows the waterproof coil going to make a difference in salt water? Sure its salt water and not just a WATER machine much like the AT Pro?

No time t loose with the deus on saltwater.... I have a CTX 3030 and I almost never hunt in the dry sand...sometimes in the surf...but most of the time with scuba tanks.

Hi Frogmaster,
Just curious if you upgraded your O-Ring on the CTX? I am looking to replace my O-Ring, what size did you use if you did? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the video! I can't seem to find these o-rings anywhere locally. Did you order these online by chance?

 

[frogmaster-riviera]

Just have the buy the battery pack oring, no need to use the USB one anymore.

Look at this thread : http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/minelab/447583-make-real-waterproof-ctx-3030-scuba-diving-experience.html

At the end many US owners are talking about place to buy them online.


I'm locate in Europe (Switzerland) so can't really help you. Here they are common and not expensive at all.... it should be easier to locate some in the US, for sure.

You right ( excuse me you ARE ALWAYS RIGHT ) Casper, DEUS is wireless.

I had this info buy 2 persons working @XP MEtal in France, both are detectorist and are sharing a few hunt with me during their vacation.

=> For the DEUS COIL, I bet they will place an antenna cable to bypass the water interference; this solution is already sold as an option.

=> for the complete waterproof version, I can't tell you.

I know wireless can work in fresh water on a short distance, but @ low TX speed. Now in saltwater it is almost impossible, so they will probbly use wires like they have on their GOLDMAXX

The waterproof DEUS just rumour. The coming HF coil and V 4.0 software not work much better in saltwater than 3.2. This said Adny Sabisch when I asked he.
I hope the HF coil can sense better the small gold items, open earrings, chains, etc.. than current coils.

"The V4.0 update will not have any bearing on salt water beach operation . . . . it will have the same limitations as the V3.2 does; i.e., you need to drop sensitivity and alter your searech pattern to avoid teh chatter from black sand and salt water . . . unless you are in an area like Florida where there is no black sand.

The HF coils will be hot on small gold but with higher frequencies, you will get more feedback from the black sand / salt combination.

It will work and will be a killer in the dry sand / damp sand areas but it will not be a Minelab / Fisher CZ in terms of performance in the wet salt regions.

Given the limitations I think at this juncture it's going to be pretty darn difficult to improve on the overall reliability and performance of the Excal, especially once all of the aftermarket mods have been installed on the machine. If Minelab were to ever install these same mods and also a return signal boost on these machines I can't see how any other beach machine could even be in the same class.

 

[Goldfleks]

Why doesn't Minelab incorporate the mods into their base unit? Things like thumb pinpoint seem like a no-brainer?

Not sure what else you guys Mod on them other than Headphones/Coils? That I can understand as they are typically hard wired.
