    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...

    Deus 2 and 4khz.

    Yes, great for high conductors (especially around a lot of iron and mineralized soil) however the frequencies are bad at depth on nickels and possibly other targets in the nickel TID range. With the D1, 12khz gains about 2" of depth on nickels over 4-8khz and doesn't really suffer any serious...

    D2 can slaw question

    While I haven't tried it with the D2, large silver and copper always had a smooth tone with the D1 vs the distorted signal the can slaw gave. I will do more testing with the D2, but since I don't have an 8 Reale, maybe you can demonstrate how it has the same distorted overload signal like...

    Deus 2 and 4khz.

    I would have to pull my D1 manual out and look at it, but as I remember, there is a notch that can be set in GB menu that will eliminate coke and hot rocks from being detected. Probably a similar setting in the D2, but once again, I'm not up on all the options. It's quite possible the factory...

    D2 can slaw question

    UPDATE; I turned audio response to 7 from where I previously had it set at 5. Now the can slaw gives me the overload signal like the D1.

    D2 can slaw question

    You asked which max frequency I ran around can slaw and I failed to answer except mention the programs I use. I run them at factory default frequencies. If I remember correctly, with the D1, it didn't matter which freq. I ran, large chunks of can slaw always gave me an overload signal. However...

    D2 can slaw question

    I use PWM with 4 tones, same as the D1 that I'm used to and comfortable with. I haven't tried full tones around can slaw. I'm hunting a farm field that was a ghost town. So the cans are aluminum beer/soda cans that are crushed and shredded by the farm implements. They come in as what could be...

    D2 can slaw question

    When I used the D1, I could always tell when I was over a large piece of can slaw because it gave an audio overload signal despite the VDI giving a good target number. The D2 doesn't overload on large can slaw but instead gives a nice tone as well a good target number. Do others here who have...

    Deus 2 or manticore?

    You might consider the D1 if all you do is parks and schools in central Ohio. Under mild soil conditions, it's on par with the D2, but ~$400 cheaper with remote and headset. However, if you plan to visit saltwater beaches or areas with hot soil like Arizona, then you will be better off with the...

    Do You Ground Balance

    I always GB slightly positive. It reduces iron falsing caused by rapid movement over the ground while detecting. If you move slow, then you probably better off zeroing your GB.

    Coil charging clip replacement?

    I put a metal coil spring on my clip in place of the broken plastic spring and it worked well for a couple years until one wing broke away from the charging body. I no longer have it else I would post a photo. You can probably use hot glue to hold the spring in place where the plastic spring...

    Deus 2 coil size question

    Agree with this. The only thing you need to concern yourself is if the physical size of the 11" is going to hinder you in the areas you hunt.

    Loving the deus 2

    I've had 6 or 7 detectors through the years, (Tesoro, Whites, Minelab, XP detectors). Only 2 that paid for themselves, Tesoro Vaquero and the Deus 1. The Deus 2 would probably pay for itself if I detected as much. I've made some cool finds since I've gotten it, but I don't get out much these...
