    I hate to ask this question once again but...

    ...if I am going to incur the wife's wrath by buying an ATX, I at least want to make it worthwhile. I live in Kansas. My soil is neither devil nor inert. You could say it's sort of in the Goldielocks zone. I've heard tales and I've heard fables that a P.I. machine will not reach deeper coins...

    Let's see if i can word this right

    Say i tell the Deus to give me a high tone on a particular TID; 800 on a TDI of 91 at 12Kz for example. Then i run my coil over a rusted iron object that is id'd by my Deus at 91 but to my trained ear the high tone doesn't sound "sweet". What makes an 800 tone sound different than another 800...

    The Deus doesn't have to find amazing stuff every time

    Sometimes it is just a journeyman. This is from an hour hunt at a sidewalk strip at our Thanksgiving annual family reunion:

    The 11 inch coil goes to work!

    I've done 3 hunts with the new coil. The first hunt produced only wheats but the second and third were more productive. I am discovering that I may need to learn this coil. The signals are louder for one. Hunt #2 The Barber dime is a 1908. The Merc is a 1937 Hunt #3 This Barber dime is a...

    Got my 11". First hunt

    Took the Deus with the new 11" coil to my deep silver park at lunch today. In particular, I wanted to try two spots in this park: 1) At spot one, I got many coins in the last two years but the spot went dry this Summer. I found two wheats there today. 2) At spot two, I have gotten very few...

    Well I was surprised but shouldn't have been

    Went out yesterday to a small, very old (1884), and very trashy park in search of loot. Eventually I hit a very ugly signal that typically yields aluminum foil. I decided to take the trash in an effort to clean the spot in preparation for the 11" coin (:biggrin:). Before I dug the target...

    I know I don't need to say this here but...

    ...I thought I would anyway. The Deus is THE machine to beat, at least in the U.S, at this time. The Proof: In my post-Civil war city (incorporated in 1870), there has been a numerous and VERY active metal detecting community since at least the 1960's. For the size of our city, I can easily...

    question on pinpointing

    Is the pinpoint feature of the Deus affected by any settings such as frequency, sensitivity, and recovery speed?

    My Depth Experience with the 9 inch coil

    So after a solid year of use, I can hit a silver dime easily (most of the time) and recognizably (meaning, I can tell it's not iron) up to 7 inches of depth. At around 7 inches, the tone is solid and it repeats even if the target id is off or not there. Past 7 inches, the tone may repeat or it...

    I wonder about the charging clip

    Now that the craziness over V3 is over and now that the 11 inch coil is close to reality, I wonder if Allen has giving any thought about redesigning the charging clip. I've managed to damage mine after a year of use (misuse?). I can still charge but I have to adjust one of the brass pins...

    Once upon a V2

    Once I understood what the Deus V2 was telling me, I began to rehunt all the spots I had long since given up as 'empty'. One such place was a postage-stamp size park with only about 40% of it with grass. The other 60% has had play equipment and tennis courts for as long as anyone remembers. So...

    Single frequency mystery

    I was out hunting this morning using single frequency. I was using 7.5KHz as many users report good depth at this frequency. I got a a good solid hit with a VDI of 75 at about 4 inches deep. Because in the past I've dug a number of bottle caps I thought were quarters when hunting in single...

    Question about Mixed Mode

    Listening on Mixed Mode with the threshold is still very tricky to me. It is particularly hard to note when the threshold nulls while the AM signal is sounding in my ear. Any tips?

    V3i Depth for newbies

    Here's where I am at with depth on the V3i: I hunt with the standard C&J program. I see targets from 0-6 inches mostly. I up my RX, AM, and DISC and I occasionally see 7 I switch to single frequency (7.5KHz) and i begin to see more 7 and some 8 and 9 inch readings I turn on TX Boost and now...

    Big Bertha is now naked

    My V3i began to chatter in the last 4 or 5 hunts until it become impossible to hunt with it. I had read that putting a coil cover without sealing the cover somehow could lead to stuff getting between the cover and coil. I hadn't had a problem with this but I began to suspect that was the...

    Micro gold and the AT Pro

    I hunted the Iron Pit again last night. The only gold I found was this tiny 14K clasp. When I found it, it had a couple of chain links still attached but I lost them as I was experimenting with air tests. I was running the AT Pro with the 5x8DD coil. Sensitivity down to 4 bars and iron...

    Gold with the Pro this morning :super:

    46 Target ID. 3 inches deep. 14K. Second gold ring with the AT Pro in two weeks. AT Pro running wide open in Pro Mode with sensitivity down to 4 bars because of all the iron at the site. 5x8DD coil. I love my Pro! [attachment 234331 At-gold.JPG]

    Mixed signal is a good one

    I went out hunting with a friend who just bought an AT Pro. He wanted me to call him over when I got an interesting signal. Walking along, I got a nice signal that bounced from 51 to 53 and I dug a 1936 Buff [attachment 233356 dirty-buff.jpg] however my friend was busy so I moved on and soon...

    AT Pro gets the gold

    Found this 1944 class ring with the AT Pro and the 5x8DD coil in a mega-trashy area at about 3-4 inches deep. The VDI jumped from 69-70. It is a 10K ring. The part that identified the school was gone when I dug up the ring. You can see where it attached to the top of the ring.

    Waiting for the people excited about this machine

    Like so many others, I waited with baited breath for the new machine from Minelab. I'm not excited to say the least. Now I await May 11 to see what FSB2 is.
