    Where are all the CTX users?

    Mine finally gave up the ghost after many happy years. Its does some things no other ones will do. But another one is too much money for a machine that will not let you adjust on site is simply archaic today. The Manticore which is a EQ with a 12 line in the much anticipated "New 3030". It is...

    Pinpointers MI6 vs Carrot

    I use both but most of the time the MI6. But some times have to turn it back to link back to the Deus can be annoying so will some time use the carrot. Having both is a nice advantage.

    New XP Deus II user here with the 9" coil with MI-6 and WSA II XL headphones

    I did not find the weight of the 3030 a major problem but the repair bills as it got older were. Most folks who havent used a D1 will use the multi kfz but don't discount the single kfz feature which gives it some advantages to rule out trash like steep caps and other trash. I remember years...

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    Would be interested to know both mineral level and trash volume you hunt in. The depths I've seen here are what I have routinely found with the D1 using an audio of 3 because of the depth perception in trashy areas. I did see a video comparing D1 and D2 and both saw the same deep target though...

    swing speed

    I've found that on the Deus if you hit a deep object with no VDI you can swing the coil furiously over the pinpoint and sometimes induce a VDI giving an idea of what the object might be.

    Coil question

    Bought the Simplex with the small elliptical coil because i mainly water hunt with this machine but was wondering if yall had tried the 18x4 or the 15 for those slightly less trashy areas on land.

    Why so many people dumping the Deus 2

    There is only one reason I can see for parting with the D1 and thats to obtain better depth which the d2 actually seems to do slightly. The XY screen is virtually useless in heavy trash except to confirm the tones you have set. EMI tends to be worse on smf machines. On the d1 I sometimes have to...

    swing speed

    The D1 needs a somewhat faster speed for optimum performence but look like the D2 would need slower speed with its larger coils. What says ye?

    Last couple of hunts D2

    Todd have 2 D1s and a 3030 which has died. What have you noticed as best advantages over D1? In NE I know stuff is shallower there than here so I know a little more depth is one. Thanks

    Etrac Still Viable?

    The etrac is a relic from the past that is until you try to get someone to sell you theirs:LOL:

    Manticore and 3030

    I know one ML dealer who told me 3030 still deeper than EQ and another one told me no 3030 lite coming so was not surprised that the Manticore in the presentation video is an EQ with a token 12 line throne in to give it a 3030 "feel" Is it the same depth? Maybe but the 3030 does well where you...

    9 inch hi freq vs 9 inch eliptical hi freq

    Sounds like I need a loan from you. JK. Seriously were you comparing the depth of the D1 and D2 on the same object with the same size coil? Understand the D2 may offer a bit more depth but would the D1 still have picked up w/o a direct comparison?

    New Detector for Parks, soil, and relics.. ...Equinox or Deus 2 ?

    I suspect you are more confused than ever. I have a friend who is a ML dealer who only did the 3030 for years but use the EQ more now mainly for the weight but believes 3030 still deeper and mostly relic hunts where ligher machine better. Still like my D1 for coin hunting but high learning curve...

    CTX 3030?

    Mine is worn out but am considering another one its that good ML's servicing and too many bells & whistles not withstanding. Have it on good authority that the new one won't be a CTX lite. My guess something like the D2 but less money and maybe a couple of extra feature just like we saw with...

    How exactly does the 2D VDI on minelab machines work?

    The 3030 is my oldest machine 10 years now. Target separation has always been my toughest decision because many areas I hunt are very old but have lots of both iron and modern trash. Have always favored ferrous coin a bit over modern trash even though it falses a bit more but doesnt look like a...

    Hunting the Privys

    Problem with this hobby when you're young and can do it all day no time or money. When those are better you're a walking time bomb:)

    Hunting the Privys

    Out houses are a source for buried money since they were close to and could be seen from the house. If they are still standing be careful though. When I was in pharmacy school read about a soldier in the guard who foolishly used one and was bitten by a black widow spider on well you know where.

    Where are all the CTX users?

    The best advice I can give is do not start learning this machine in a super trashy area. Its FBS technology makes really accurate but also gives it really slow recovery speed. I love it for lighter trash sites and use the Deus for the heavy stuff. Or get a shooter coil for the junky areas and...

    The Legend has made my mind up!!

    I believe everyone needs one good SMF machine and can see why you would go with NM which is top on the line in service and reliability. Once you learn it an SMF is more of a turn on and go machine than than a single multi like D!. But I would lean toward keeping the D1 for certain occasions...

    It's refreshing to see more well rounded reviews.

    Does the bottle cap feature simply not respond to aluminum or will it actually see a good object next to it? Have used deus 1 along time and know when I have a cap most of the time w/o gimmicks but I do need a new SMF machine. The different opinions have helped a lot.
