    Remote will not shut off and it has blank screens where programs used to be.

    No matter what I do I cannot shut down my Deus. It keeps coming back on. And when it is on there are blank screens where programs used to be. So now it is dead because the battery ran down due to the inability to shut it off. Is there a quick fix for this problem or is it broken. Where do I...

    should I have bought an x35 coil instead of the 9 inch round hf.

    As it states in the header I purchased a 9 inch round high frequency coil last year and didn't find it to be a whole lot different than my low frequency coil as far as finds go. I am strictly a coin hunter and I really miss the ID NORM mode. I'm getting too old to remember all the different...

    9" HF round coil and frequencies

    I just bought a new 9" HF round coil and think I have a problem. Freq 14 is set in the middle @14.4 as it should be. Freq 28 is set at the highest @31.3 not in the middle @28.8 so basically the default freq is 31.3 instead of 28.8. Freq 54 is set in the middle @54.4 as it should be. I thought...

    First time out with the EQ 800 in the salt water

    I went out today for the first time in the salt water down here in Florida. Only a couple of hours to see how the 800 would react. Very disappointed in the yellow minelab headphones. With sound set to Max (25) , I could barely hear the signals. I can't believe Minelab would not have something...

    Pic of silver chain ( I hope )

    Ok, I followed sgoss66's instructions and hope this works. Please let me know if it does not. Anyway, I found this chain in a grass parking area. It rang up as a solid 13. I thought the numbers would be higher since it is silver. I was surprised since I thought it would be a nickel.

    Pinpointing OMG

    I just bought my EQ800 and it came with the update. I took it out to a small park, not very trashy and was finding clad. But pinpointing was horrible. I tried the minilab wiggle, and using the pinpoint button. I was digging holes much, much larger than I ever have with any other machine I have...

    Two scoops no sound ? What's going on?

    Was out with my Excal yesterday. I would get a great signal, dig a scoop, still in the hole, dig another, no sound but nothing in the scoop. So I dug wo or three more scoops and out pops the target. I find this very concerning because without sound it makes it harder to find the target and I...

    finding gold with the Eq. Is it because it is a new machine?

    As with all new machines we dig most all targets to figure out where the goodies range or sound like. As we get to know each new machine it seems we find great targets others have missed. D o you think all the great finds are because it is new we do dig all targets? I do.

    Went to the Deus Bootcamp today

    If anyone is on the fence about going to the bootcamp run by Andy Sabisch I can tell you it is very informative and worth going. I learned a lot even though I have owned my Deus for 4 years. Thanks Andy and Charlene for a great time and a fun and informative bootcamp.

    I missed some targets close to ones I found

    Yesterday I was hunting and used the HOT program with my Deus and found some modern coins. I was just trying out the HOT program I just downloaded. After I covered a certain area I used my Etrac to see how well I did. I am baffled because I followed the same track and saw where I dug targets...

    Bigger coil for my E Trac from those using them

    I am a long time user of the E Trac and have done well with it but my favorite sites seem to be drying up. I am thinking of getting a larger coil. Having read past posts I am still confused. The stock coil is 11", and larger coils start out at 12X8 or 12x13 etc. I was wondering if the extra inch...

    First time out with the XP Deus

    5 hours of hunting today produced much junk few good targets. The junk is expected when learning a new machine. However a lot of the round tabs and screw caps and bottle caps came in as good coin numbers. More than I am used to digging. Ended up with 7 memorials, 1 wheatie, 2 clad quarters and...

    XP and iron

    I own an Etrac and love the way it blocks out iron. I ordered an XP bu was watching a video of an XP in action and the user complained that it picked up iron and gave good signals. He was disappointed in that it costs so much and he still digs iron. How are we going to deal with that? I gave up...

    A question for sovereign users. I don't have one but I have two coils, I was wondering if the connectors are the same

    as those used on an Etrac. I have an Etrac and they both fit. They are 5" Excelerator coils and according to Kellyco, they don't make a 5" coil for the Etrac, so why do they fit? I want to sell them but don't know what they work on. I tried them on me Etrac and they work? So what gives?

    5 inch excelerator EQ2 pro coil question

    I bought a used Etrac and it came with the excelerator EQ2 pro coil. It fits the plug and it worked as far as detecting targets but someone told me it belongs to the Sovereign. When I checked the Kellyco ads, that's what it said also. So why did it work? and is it used solely for the Etrac. I...

    I love my Etrac. This is just one month of hunting about 3 times a week.

    I have been lurking on this site for over a year. While I was in Florida I decided to buy the Etrac. I have owned the original Explorer XS since it came out many years ago. I have found many, many old coins and plenty of silver. Most of my spots were dried up, so I bought other top end machines...

    TDI numbers on the Etrac and the Explorer XS

    I have an old Explorer XS as well as the Etrac. On the Etrac I understand the ferrous and conductive numbers and how we are not supposed to pay all that much attention to the ferrous numbers but the conductive ones. Now on the old XS I used to use the cursor to figure out my finds. My question...
