    Coils - Manticore/Equinox

    Thanks Laplander. I revisited Minelab's site and sure enough you're spot on.......Multi-IQ+ vs Multi-IQ. Missed the (+) first time I was there.

    Coils - Manticore/Equinox

    Are the coils interchangeable between the Manticore and the Equinox 900/700? I thought I read on here somewhere that they are, but looking at Minelab's Site they appear not to be. Same question for the 900/700. Are their coils interchangeable with the older 800/600 coils?

    Am I Wrong

    Thanks for the reply guys. My post wasn't meant to be a rant, but more so an observation. IDXmonster hit the nail on the head when he said we live in a throw away society. Combine that with "instant gratification" and you have the perfect storm for hype to overwhelm better judgment. Sure, your...

    Am I Wrong

    Been watching the infamous auction site and other market places and it appears that with the lead-up and now the release of Minelab's new detector series the demand for a Deus has almost evaporated. I know time marches on and what was the latest and greatest isn't so much anymore. But...

    Is There a Deus 2 Update Coming

    I recently heard that XP is planning to release an update for the Deus 2. Has anyone else heard that? And if so, did you hear when that might happen?

    Equinox 600 and 800 on sale everywhere!

    Look what happened to XP Deus 1 values when the Deus 2 came out. A year ago a nice used D1 with a couple coils would bring a thousand or more. Now since the D2 release you're lucky to get half that much. And all that happened in less than a year.

    Minelab Manticore

    Watch out now there will be an even bigger flood of used equinox and xp detectors for sale. Unfortunately, the demand won't meet the supply and prices will drop like a rock.

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    Just want to confirm that running the audio gain up to 6 (along with some other changes) has made a huge difference for me. I've been hunting an old home site with a friend that uses a minelab equinox. The best coins there are deep (8'-10") and his equinox was kicking it, where my D2 was not...

    MI-6 issues

    take a look at this youtube video. Around the 5 minute mark he gets into replacing the MI-4 vibrator and then discusses the battery. Seems pretty straight forward.

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    I'll definitely give that a try. I normally run my audio response at 3 or 4

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    I went on a hunt yesterday and did manage to dig a few deeper targets, so maybe my concerns are unfounded. I will say there's a lot to like about the Deus 2, but if the confidence isn't there then it takes the fun out of detecting. Time will tell. I've had a lot of different detectors over the...

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    IDX, I used the factory settings for the General search program. Just checked and the factory sensitivity for General is 95.

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    Picketwire, none of those you mentioned are an issue. If there is a problem, would it be the coil or the remote? I read somewhere that the guts of the deus is built into the coil and the information is transmitted to the remote or headphones, depending on your configuration. Don't know if that's...

    XP Deus 2 Depth Concern

    Has anyone done an air test of there Deus 2? I'm concerned that my unit with a 9" coil is not getting the depth it should. As an example, using a penny (copper, not zinc) in general mode and not changing any of the factory settings, I'm only getting 6 1/2". That doesn't seem right based on some...

    XP Deus 1 Headphones.

    I've been using an XP ORX and really like it. However, I recently had an opportunity to buy an XP Deus 1 remote and went for it. When I bought the remote I was sure everything that I had with the ORX would work with the Deus. I may have been, and probably was wrong with my assumption. I've read...

    Lower Rod For Tesoro

    Thanks for the info picketwire. I'm going to try odanscoils' suggestion first since I already have the garrett rod. But if that doesn't work well, will definitely take a look at the fisher/teknetic's rod.

    Which Coil For Vaquero

    I've discovered finding a Tesoro 6" (5.75) concentric coil is not an easy thing to do. I see Detech has a 8"x6" SEF coil available for the Vaquero. Are they any good? Haven't seen much written about them

    Lower Rod For Tesoro

    odanscoils, I was thinking that might do the trick. Thanks for confirming.

    Lower Rod For Tesoro

    I bought an extra coil for my Vaquero and wanted to mount it on it's own lower rod. When I started looking for a tesoro rod I discovered they're getting harder to find. So I thought any manufacture's lower rod would do and bought one for a Garrett (was the cheapest I could find). Much to my...

    How About this Comparison

    When I started this thread I never expected it to deteriorate as it has. I was hoping we could all learn something in the process. It appears that there are those that have their mind made up and hate to hear anything to the contrary. The one thing I (hopefully we all) can take away from this is...
