    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Think of a target as a bell. The soil as the atmosphere. The detector transmitter as the bell striker, and the receiver as your ear. No matter how hard you strike the bell, the sound is only going to travel so far depending on atmospheric conditions and size of the bell. The larger the bell...

    Worked out site gives Silver Bangle

    Conductivity wise, it's a complete ring so it would have been an object that had a large footprint for its relatively shallow depth. My guess is most people would have thought this was can slaw, Zinc mason lid, etc. and I'm guessing the TID was a little lower than what a silver half or dollar...

    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    Another 85 TID at the sports field (.925 necklace and pendent). The pendent is about the diameter of a nickel and fairly thick. I checked another XP forum that had a link to a person's notes on the D2. Although he only has one listing for a .925 silver ring without a size description, he got a...

    Is this even real?!!!

    It looks like they found this site in an earlier expedition and came back equipped to record and search it. He handled the clay jars with such great care then rubbed dirt across an ancient gold coin. Indicates the person plans to melt the gold since selling the coins could bring unwanted...

    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    TID mostly depends on conductivity and the effect of nearby objects. Conductivity can be altered by mass, shape, and alloy, .925 is a specific alloy so that variable can be removed from the equation. Position rarely affects TID on shallow targets in my experience. For instance, a silver dime on...

    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    Here's my story and I'm sticking to it... I have the Deus-2 for a year now, moving up from the Deus-1. I had been doing mostly a farm fields and occasionally a rural park until this past week. I decided to go to a sports field and hunt for jewelry. So I modified the park program for shallow...

    Charging problem with new hf elliptical coil

    It's possible that it's almost fully charged. What does the indicator on your remote tell you about the charge level? If it's 3 bars, I would go out and use it until it's down to 2 bars or less and try again.

    cover on predator shovels

    I'm not sure what you have to work with, but maybe rivet some 2-sided Velcro straps (like the kind used to secure coil wire to the shaft), to the walls of the trailer to secure the shovel and detector inside. Not good for the detector (especially the coil) to be bouncing around. And pin pointers...

    cover on predator shovels

    I have a large black rectangular plastic container that I place my detector, supplies, and shovel. Albeit I wish the container was longer so everything laid down flat inside, it works to keep dirt out of my Jeep.

    CANNOT UPDATE TO 2.O

    I updated using win 11, it's not the problem.

    Backpacks

    I have a custom backpack for my Deus 1. I like taking it with me when hiking to a remote location. I wouldn't wear it while detecting, but it is great for having all my supplies nearby including TP. food, and water.

    XP Deus 2 in Tot Lots

    You might try single freq. I suggest 18k or above for sensitivity to small targets. Lower the sensitivity and raise the reactivity to 3 or above then see if you can get closer to the poles.

    Pulled the trigger on a XP Deus 2

    In places you've hunted out with other detectors if you wish to see its capabilities. If you are an audio based hunter, I don't recommend wading into an iron infested area until you get used to it. I did that and was frustrated at first. It is not the Deus-1 in that regard, it takes a little...

    My take on the Deus1.

    I have heard of others storing their detector for a couple weeks only to find they are dead when they check before a hunt. However, I have never had an issue with battery discharge in either D1 or D2. I could come back to the D1 after storing over winter and it would still have a decent charge...

    My take on the Deus1.

    Capabilities are pretty much a lateral move if staying away from salt water, and hot soil. Also the D1 remote is not submersible. In my limited testing, the D2 excels over the D1 in TID at depth and TID seems consistent across programs (likely due to multi-freq). D1 pinpoints better than D2...
