    First finds. ....

    I received my control box back from the repair center yesterday, so I decided to leave my CTX at home and just go out with the Deus. For those of you who don't know, this is my 3rd Deus.....I usually get rid of them after a week. However, I've committed myself to learning this machine. I...

    Major Issue....Help....

    I charged up my XP Deus control box for the weekend. Now it will not turn on. If it is plugged in you can turn it on, but then it starts flickering. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I want to get out this weekend with it.

    RnB Battery

    I really wish they would make one for the CTX. I love the one I have for my E-Trac and would really like to have one for the CTX 3030. Hopefully someday soon...they will design one. I tend to hunt for many hours and generally have to switch battery packs, which sometimes means I have to walk...

    Mother's Day Silver

    I was able to get away today for a little metal detecting. I spent 2 hours at a park about 40 minutes from my home and walked away with a 46 Rosie and 51 Washington. All in all it was a good hunt, although I did get chased away by a swarm of mosquitoes. I've never seen so many!! I'm thankful my...

    Finally...got a bit of silver.

    I recently reintroduced myself to the CTX after a brief affair with the XP Deus. I generally swing an E-Trac, but was missing some of the features of the CTX, so I found a good deal and bought it. I've been hitting the same area of the park for a while now and signals are getting few and far...

    Garrett Pro pointer At

    I'm very pleased with the improvements made to the pro pointer. No more falsing when you push on it. ...and I can use it in vibrate only mode. Impressive performance this weekend. Clearly the best pinpointer on the market.

    Big Silver today!

    I was out hunting our local golf course turned dog park today. I almost always bring a keeper home from this place, although the signals are getting few and far between now. I started the day by using my XP Deus for about an hour...(trying to learn how to use the thing...lol) then I switched...

    The struggle is real....

    I took the Deus out today for about an hour, until I switched back to my E-Trac.(1.5 hrs with the E-Trac = 1.08 in clad, 2 wheaties and a Walker) I'm struggling to find anything with this that isn't junk. I've been running it in Basic 1 @ 12khz...tried full tones (but more comfortable in 3)...

    War Nickel and Indian

    I got out to detect today, even though it was only about 32 degrees outside....lol. I spent about two hours detecting. I found 6 wheats, 1 Indian Head, and a War nickel. This is the first time I've ever dug a war nickel...so I was pleasantly surprised when it came out of the ground. I'm going to...

    First time out...in a long time

    Today I was able to get out metal detecting for the first time in over a year. I hit a spot that I've hit numerous times just for old times sake. One of my detecting buddies died this October and we used to go to this place at least once a week and always walk away with some type of keeper. He...

    Field hunt....interesting artifacts

    Had a great hunt today with Goes4ever...we hit some fields he had lined up. I didn't find a single old coin, but that's ok. I did find some cool stuff though. I need help identifying what the cross may be...and also the button on the right with the trumpet and 2 in it. I believe it may be a 2nd...

    Trade Token

    Went out last night with Tim. He found an Indian about 8.5" deep. I found this cool trade token. It was all crusty, but I put it in the tumbler and it did a heck of a job of cleaning it up. I may put it back in for a while. The trade token reads: Elmer Zinn / 139 Warren St. / Dayton, OH/ Good...

    First time out....

    The targets were few and far between, but I had expected as much. I went to a really well hunted area at our local park. I found 2 memorial pennies and that was about it.....until I started off back towards my Jeep. On the way back I got a pretty nice 12/44-45 at about 7-8 inches. I cut the plug...

    First real hunt....

    I took the Deus out for the first time tonight. I hunted for about 2hrs at a local school. Let's just say I hadn't read the manual....only thing I've read has been on here. I hunted in Basic 1 with whatever the stock settings are. I dug a couple of whole cans, and bottle caps. I'm not entirely...

    First Impressions

    Let me preface this by saying I have not had a full hunt on the unit. I finally got the XP Deus out of the box today (have had it since Wednesday), put it together and charged the batteries. I love the setup on the charging!! I was initially concerned with the headphones(i just can't call them...
