    New Equipment Tests You Do

    I used to test that way until I made a test garden in my front yard and saw what happened to the targets over the years. If you test your old hunting grounds within weeks of the last time you hunted, it's a fair test. If it's been a year or more, then it's not an accurate way to test your new...

    Deus II 9" or 11" coil

    I have the 9 and 11 for my D1. I use the 11" coil 90% of the time. I like the 9" for working furrows and other areas where the 11" is more of a hinderance. In my experience, the 11" coil is "for all intents and purposes" as good as the 9" in trashy areas. Just like GazinUK said, slow down a...

    Deus 2 problem with backphones

    I would contact XP and put the question to them. Sounds like a defective unit. It has to be seen by the remote if it's automatically powering up. You could power up the puck and leave it run until the battery dies. Recharge and try it again before contacting XP.

    D2 in EMI

    Underground EMI is the worst. I'm pretty sure the multi-frequency of the D2 will only drive you crazy. D2 Mono (single frequency) program might help over the D1 because there's a higher frequency range to work with, but you will lose depth on high conductor targets. Hence, you might be in the...

    Analysis of a one way signal?

    My limited experience with the D2 is that it tends to sound off on iron with the full range of conductivity when I use my customized "deep HC". For instance, the D1 will indicate iron with either with a grunt (iron volume) or high conductor reading that is above 95. I don't remember ever having...

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    As a poor 15yr old who loved the hobby of electronics, I could only dream about buying a Relco, Jetco, Whites, and Garrett that I saw in magazines. My father, an electronics tech, helped me build a BFO detector from a schematic we found in a hobby electronics book. It was a BFO oscillator that...

    Dont be afraid of relic mode...

    Targis, was that 1 other program gold field? From the manual, "RELIC is processed in the same way as GOLD FIELD but uses lower subtracted frequencies search for large masses". Relic uses 4KHz-24KHz where Gold Field uses 4KHz-40KHz... Try a gold nugget instead of gold leaf. If you don't have...

    Getting scratches out of displays

    I'm sorry, I can't help you remove scratches, but I can help you avoid more.... For my D1, I use PVC shrink wrap bags. You can buy them by the 100 on Ebay. Make sure you get PVC bags; they are more durable. The bags require some modification after they are shrunk, but they work great. My D1...

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Well Guys, I discovered that I customized the wrong program in my D2, that's why I'm having so much difficulty in iron. Things might work better now.

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Thanks Lodge. I will certainly explore the other program options like bottle cap reject. Many commenters on the YT videos claimed the D2 was even quieter in iron than the D1. I plan to run it today while the weather is still good.

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Lodge, thanks for the feedback on the D2 vs D1. I got out for 2 hrs yesterday in an iron infested farm field where I've found deep targets with the D1. I am extremely proficient with the D1 and love it in iron infested farm fields. The D1 was the first detector that really impressed me right out...

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Lodge Scent, I wasn't sure if my D1 had a software glitch that was somehow making it run hotter than normal. That in turn made me compare apples for apples with the D2. I saw a video of an in ground test where the D2 clearly bested the D1, I expected it to compare in air testing, I saw opposite...

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Hi all, it's been a while since I've been on the forum so Hello all! I've run into an interesting issue..... I just updated my Deus-1 with the latest. My custom programs are written down so I took my notes and D1 controller to work and programmed it. When I got home to do further air test...

    School

    Nothing extra special here, but I thought I would post my most recent "good" finds from hunting a local school total of 8-10 hrs. over a 4 day period. Mind you, I've pounded it with 3 different detectors I've owned before attacking it with the Deus. The deus has pulled more silver than all 3...

    Unusually large token

    The other day I was hunting a school property and got a nice soft signal in 4KHz that ID'd at 93-96. I switched to 8KHz and it trended upward from 95-98. That indicated a high conductor target so I dug. After 6 inches I hit a clay layer that was about 2-3 inches. Once I broke through, I was...

    Steel war pennies, are they still found?

    That question is brought up on the forum from time to time... You can see the rim and under the right lighting, the bust of Abe. It's better than some modern zinc's I've found. It's the second one I've found but the other one was so badly deteriorated it was without any identifying features...

    How I use 18KHz for jewelry

    My preference hunting style is turf jewelry (Don't have beaches near me else I would capitalize on them). For me it's the greatest return for time spent swinging. However I have been rewarded with the occasional silver dime, wheat, and IH penny, not to mention the LC's, standing liberty, V...

    Another Propointer depth mod.

    This is a great mod for the tinkerer by Henrik Rasmussen. It should work for any standard soil but might cause falsing in highly mineralized soil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nekkZxQxr1g&sns=em

    4KHz- The more I use it the more I like it.

    Not to say I wouldn't have found these in the other frequencies, but I'm getting used to the nuances of 4KHz. First ever silver coin spill in this 2hr hunt from an area of the school that I gridded several years ago with another detector. The 3 silvers and nickel together were all from the same...

    My take on 4KHz

    First I would like to thank CZconnoiseur and Beepsilver for their imformative posts using 4KHz. Because of the strong case for 4KHz in searching for coppers and silver, I decided to put it to use in a couple places that I had found silver in the past. I went to a local school where I have dug...
