    Pro Swing Harness

    At 62 the bones are starting to ache a bit more after a day of swinging the CTX. Just wondering what everyone thinks of the Minelab Pro-Swing 45 harness? Good and bad. I am seriously considering one but at 129 bucks I want to be sure.

    Lower shaft stuck

    I am considering the straight shaft by Plugger for my Excal II. When reading on his website, it indicated that I needed to use the lower shaft. I just went out and tried to get my lower shaft loose and it won't budge. I can only get about a turn and a half on the locking collar. Any ideas, I...

    Finding a Sovereign

    I always lurk on this site and am intrigued by the dedication to these Sovereigns, I am a Minelab person and have a CTX and Excalibur II, I keep thinking I might like to pick up a good Sovereign . So I assume the used market is the only way now. I did pick up the Deus, also and found out it...

    Excalibur Knobs very stiff

    Seems like each year my knobs on my Excalibur are very stiff and hard to turn, I usually break at least one to two knobs a year. I know these are considered sacrificial, but it seems that they break a little too easily . What are others doing to remedy this or is it just my machine. In 7...

    Frustration Level +++++

    I just can not seem to get a handle on this Deus, tried several different settings and can not find one that seems to work well in my area. Went out today trying to use the high performance coin program and trashy park program in Andy's book. In 3 hours detecting I found 46 bottle caps 5 pull...

    Love Hate relationship

    Well after just about a month I have developed a love hate relationship with my Deus, just when I think I have it figured out I have a terrible day with it. I have found that I do much better at school yards than at parks. When I am in parks it seems all I hear is bottle caps, even using...

    Trying to understand hunting trashy sites

    I have had a couple really bad days with the Deus, I need to understand how with the faster reactivity settings how one pulls out the good signals amongst the trash, so far to my ears it just sounds like a machine gun going off in my ears. When I dig what I think is a clean signal it is a...

    Better Day

    Got out for a couple hours and had a better day, I was able to pull a 52 Rosie and a 14K Gold ladies ring. I also got a $1.00 in clad with 7 nickels. This machine seems to love nickels. I still dug a ton of trash, but at least I am starting to hear the clean signals a little better. I...

    Just when I thought I was getting it

    Went out for a couple of hours today and boy was I humbled again. The last time out I thought I was getting a pretty good grasp on this machine, then I went out today and found nothing but bottle caps and 7 cents. Oh well more reading and experimenting. Have to say this machine makes you work...

    First impression

    Just went out with the Deus for the first time, what a pleasure to swing. Now my concerns, I used the basic 1 program for the most part, I dug more trash than I have ever dug in my metal detecting history. I had a very hard time telling good signals from bad ones even know the numbers looked...

    Loading and changing programs

    Well I received the Deus yesterday and I wanted to experiment with making different program changes. My question is how to do that without affecting the coil. How far away does the coil have to be. I just want to play around with control unit while reading Andy's book and making different...

    UPS Came today

    Well the big brown truck dropped off my new Deus today. I have it charging and am going to spend the night reading the manual. Does everyone take off that protective plastic that the control unit is shipped with. Also it appears that they gave me some kind of screen protector, does everyone...

    Well I did it!

    After picking all of your brains and expertise for the past couple weeks, I ordered the Deus today and yes I did get the control panel. I am both excited and nervous to give this a try. I have been pretty much a Minelab only person for quite a few years so I have some learning to do. I will...

    Starter package

    If a person purchased just the starter package with the WS4 headphones, what exactly do you give up over the the control module? Is it just the ability to do updates? I read also some expert functions, but being new not sure what all would be missed there.
