Took it out for a few hours yesterday, was very impressed! --- Searched as small area of about 40'x75' that I had searched before with my AT Pro, T2, and 705. --- Was finding coins everywhere. --- I think the unmasking ability of the Deus is incredible. --- While the other machines were giving me iron signals, the Deus was telling me to dig. Dug many coins surrounded by iron, and one coin actually had a piece of chain link fence wire in the hole that was at least 10 times bigger than the dime. ---- I am sure to be learning the machine for a long time, but being an experienced detectorist, it wasn't as hard as I was expecting. --- Watched a couple videos when I got home, and leaned even more. -- Cant wait to become more proficient with it. -- My advice to other machine owners? "sell them and by a Deus"--- as a hobbyist for about 12 years, who has owned many of the better machines, I must say I would never have believed it. -- One of my favorite features is the incredible light weight of the Deus! -- I took my AT pro with me yesterday in case I was unable to make the Deus work, and was glad that I didn't have to use it! I l really like my AT Pro, but after swinging the Deus, I just had no desire to swing the heavier AT. -- One problem I did have with the Deus was digging bottle caps, -- though by the end of the day I was hearing the broken tone sounds of the bottle caps. --- Would the X/Y screen help? --- (I didn't get a chance to use it, but will next time. --- Thanks, Dennis
