Need some help with ordering a Deus2, guys. What is the best set up (Deus2) for a mostly inland old coin hunter? This French equipment is new to me. The wireless is also new to me, all my detectors are wired up. I do get to salt water a couple times a year also but no diving or waist deep salt water. I need help picking the headphones that are available with the Deus2 and any other options you'all thing I should order. I do have a dealer picked out, I'm good there. Thanks!
Hey Steve, in talking to my "local" dealer, there are only 2 versions currently available, others I suspect will follow. Both versions have the WS5 back phones, the Deus 2 controller and your choice is either the 9" FMF or 11" FMF coil. I have a Deus 1 with back phones, controller and both the x35 9" and 11" coils.
As for choosing between the two, tough call. I have a Deus 2 pre-ordered and i plan on picking up the other coil once available so I have both the 9" and 11". I spend time out in the western ghost towns and a smaller coil that is more nimble amongst the sage brush is key. I also want the larger coil for greater coverage and depth cruising old schools, parks, private yards and wide open beaches and sports fields.
if you are an inland deep coin hunter I think it would make sense to go with the larger coil. That said, it looks like the 9" coil is giving other detectors with larger coils a run for their money.
Good Luck
Rich
