    Coils Not Pairing

    Been busy and not detecting for about seven months. Everything was at about half charge as of then. I decided to start detecting and find my backphones DEAD! OK..no problem...charged them up. Fire the controller up and the backphones don't connect to coil. I look at controller and it clearly...

    Deep Satisfaction With 4.0

    I mostly do dry sand beach hunting with my Deus. One of my biggest difficulties ...in the past...was getting fooled by aluminum. Version 4.0 with the HOT program has pretty much taken care of that problem...to within 85 to 90% . A particular stretch of beach has the various sized aluminum shards...

    A Small Problem with Headphones

    Looks like I have an intermittent short in the headphone wire. I've been trying to work around it but yesterday it was finally too mjuch. The headphones would quit and the speaker would then be on. It's a common problem at the stress relief location with other brands of headphones. Garrett...

    First GOLD COIN...and at the Beach

    I've been metal detecting for 7 years now and I thought I was prepared for everything. WRONG!! After a number of false alarms (most notably a Brazilian coin) I Got a GOLD COIN!! I took it in my hand and stared at it..definitely Gold and definitely a Gold Coin! The back had something soldered to...

    Comfort Level Increasing! 5th Hunt

    Have the 5th hunt under my belt and I am much more comfortable with the ATX. What I'm learning: The ATX can also find shallow things.. trying for the depth is not always necessary...but it's there when you need it. I run the machine with all rods extended fully for the first two hours...then...

    Second Impressions

    Finally got a decent 2 hour hunt under my belt. I picked an area of wet sand beach where I previously got 3 deep gold rings and a buddy got 1 (with the White's dual Field). I picked targets deeper than 12" to dig. One thing I notice is that I'm much slower on a per target basis and for...

    First Experience - First Impression

    UPS delivered it yesterday 5 PM...i was on the beach at 5:30. Thankfully I've done my homework and it was pretty easy to get started. The case is a beauty! Everything inside about a 20" square by 4" thick soft black case. Kind of like a larger laptop case. Perfect for travel and longer term...

    Tip of the Hat to Bart of BigBoysHobbies

    Got the itch for an ATX last Sunday. sent out two enquiries for price and delivery. I figured to hear something back Monday...but Bart sent me a quick response within the hour. Put a smile on my face but decided to sleep on it. Ordered it next morning. Unfortunately Wells Fargo put a 24 hour...

    Short Beach Hunt in Northern California

    Visiting my son in Arcata (located in Northern California)...he drove us to a beach a ways north of here. Just a short 30 minute hunt in this wind swept beach that gets many bonfires and there's nails galore. Before leaving home I downloaded V 3.2 and fortunately with my Deus nails are not a...

    Battery Indicator Issue

    I suspect a possible bug in V3....Used the large coil for close to 14 hours and the battery indicator showed full until just before it quit...perhaps the final 30 minutes showed 3/4 full. Not a real huge problem but a bit inconvenient. Does XP acknowledge a problem? I've had my Deus since...

    NOTCH GROUND Help

    Need a bit of help on what NOTCH GROUND does. It seems like all the programs except Goldfield have the NOTCH GROUND activated for 85 to 90. What does this mean? Joe (California)

    Fantastic!

    Still have a lot to absorb but have tried V3 on the dry sand ... and it's fantastic!! I have a tennis bracelet that I found by eyeball a few years ago. No detector...from PI to VLF has ever registered a peep from it ..until V3 and the Gold Field program. At least 2" depth and possibly more...

    Back Phone Suggestion

    I just recently realized tha the back phones are intended to hook onto the ear so they don't slip. However I have always done it my own way. I use the back of my cap to hold the back phones stable and just wear them flush to the ear. I've tried hooking therm to the ear but prefer my cap method...

    Charging Clip Caution

    To my horror I discovered that one of the pins from the charging clip was gone! The pins are designed spring loaded with about an 1/8 of an inch movement. Great design but be very careful to NOT put any side force on the pins and that includes touching them with your fingers! Also clean the...

    Gold Rings VS Pulltabs, Nickels

    I don't have a V3 but I really admire the design of this detector and I come and lurk this forum. I mostly beach hunt and of course gold jewelery is on the top of my list. On my machine (which I love) gold comes in anywhere from top of the foil range...through nickel...and into penny signals...
