    User's Manual

    Here is a link to the XP Deus User's Manual in soft copy form. It's useful to have this on your computer so you can quickly search all references of a particular topic without having to thumb through all the pages. Some topics are obscure and having a soft copy can save a lot of time...

    Coil Construction Question

    Does anyone have any insight into why some coils are constructed differently than others? I had to send in my 9-inch coil a while back--turns out it had failed so I received a new one from Massachusetts. I sampled some photos from the internet to illustrate what my original and replacement...

    Couple of Deus finds before the cold snap

    The cold weather and snow flurries moved into the Midwest on Monday morning--I was out hunting with my girlfriend and was able to nab another couple of silvers before the temps plummeted and winds pushed us out. I've had a string of luck finding silver lately, particularly with Barber coins...

    Half Day Because of a Dead Battery

    Got out early anticipating a long day of hunting, but the day was cut short after only five and a half hours when my coil battery became completed depleted. I charged up everything before I left but I was in an area today where I needed more power, so I bumped up Sens to 90, set Reactivity to 1...

    More Silver for the Deus

    I've been hunting in an area that seems,for the most part, to produce turn of the century and newer silver, but it does so consistently; that's why I like it. Rarely shown in my photos are the piles of wheat pennies I turn up. Unless there's a key date to show you, I just wash 'em off and...

    Sunday Barbie-Q

    I got started just before 10AM this morning for a cherrypicking hunt and a few hours later I looked down at the Deus clock on the remote...I'm forever forgetting that it's there, but today I checked it...when I looked down I saw 2:15. I thought to myself, where did the time go? I was only half...

    Just a simple observation - those whispers you hear about

    I've been tinkering around with Audio Response (AR) settings--in the past few months I've kept AR at 5 so I wouldn't miss the deep targets when I swung over them. Yesterday I changed the setting to 3 and swung the whole day with it. I quickly realized what I had been missing from my early Deus...

    Success With EMI

    About a month and a half ago I started experiencing significant EMI wherever I hunted, or so I thought it was EMI. At first I thought it was just a run of bad luck with my hunting locations. And when I went to a park and heard chatter where I'd previously had no EMI problems, I shrugged it off...

    Everyone Needs the Deus Silver Vacuum

    Today's finds were easy pickin's for the Deus at this very small site. The Deus handled the nails and iron very well--all the silver rang in at 4-6 inches and there was no doubt there was silver under the coil before I dug (with the exception of two or three holes with wheats that came up...

    Used Andy's Super Trash Program Again

    I wasn't in the mood for a lot of noise today, so I kept it quiet with Andy's Trash Program at a permission site. I was able to nab another silver and IHP. The cuff link is plated--my eyes sure widened when I saw it though. I don't remember the 12K VDIs for the finds, but in 4K (I like to...

    Speeding Up the Process and Listen for the Growl

    Yesterday I hunted a couple of larger permission sites. I quickly found out the 4K program with full tones I was using for depth and collocated targets was taking too long for the time I had allotted--there was a lot of trash. I was coinshooting, so I needed the coins to "pop" rather than...

    XY Screen Can Fool You!

    I got out for a few hours today at a new permission site. I was fortunate to come away with some keepers and I learned a couple of things in the process. First, if there's more than one coin in the hole, even if they're huddled close (three indians today), the XY screen is not your friend. I...

    Garrett Propointer

    I posted this in the Garrett forum, but as Deus users, maybe someone has experienced the same issue? I've had the Propointer for about a month now and I'm not sure I have a problem with it. I'll describe what happens, and please let me know if you think it's normal or not. When I find a...

    Propointer Problem

    I've had the Propointer for about a month now and I'm not sure I have a problem with it. I'll describe what happens, and please let me know if it's normal or not. I detect with the XP Deus and when I find a target to dig, I kneel down and set the detector down in a way so I don't get feedback...

    The Deus Shined Today

    Is it Ever a Good Target When...?

    I'm accustomed to switching freqs to eliminate bottlecaps. If I'm using 4K and the TDI goes lower when I switch to 8K or 12K, then I know I'm most likely dealing with a bottlecap or iron or ?. My question is, is there ever a keeper (coin) under the coil when the TDI behaves like this, or is it...

    Guten Morgan!

    Dear Naps, I'm sorry I was such a jerk to you when I was a kid!. It was hot today and I felt like sleeping after sweating for two hours with only clad and the gold filled/sterling ring. I was just about to be lulled to sleep by the background chatter in my headphones when I got another high...
