Couple of videos

What were the depth/coins in your test garden?
Thanks
 
The coins weren't all that deep, roughly 3-4", but the ground is very iron saturated. The Deus is the only detector to have easily found all 4 buried coins.

There you go folks, iron masking can be a serious problem to any detector and in these sites the detecting depth is least of your concerns. You can see in the video, what the Xp Deus can do and this ability may be the key to make your pounded sites look almost like new.
 
What was the sensitivity settings on the Etrac vs. the Deus? The reason I am asking is it sounded like the Deus was falsing a little like the sensitivity was cranked up while the Etrac was stone silent. Just an observation.
 
The E-Trac was running at auto +3 and the Deus was at whatever the factory is for the Basic 1 program. I made no adjustments to anything.

It does sound like the Deus was cranked up to being unstable, I also noticed this on other videos, but when you're hunting it does not chatter like that. Actually very quiet as I'm used to having a threshold hum.

Southwind, come on, I can count to fifteen.

I don't believe your airtest, I counted about 10 inches on the silver dime, not 14 or 15 inches that you claimed. My ancient Tesoro Inca will airtest a silver dime at 9 inches.

Look at your video again, maybe you can edit it:nopity:
 
It would also help to be more detailed as to what targets are buried in your test garden....
 
OK, you say you can count, great, did you bother to look at the setup? The coil was at an angle, so I could get the target directly below the center, which put the depths, according to what YOU SEE on the video about 3" off. If you look at where my hand on the scale when I'm swinging the target it isn't even on the 1" mark and you hear me say 3-4". The scale is for my reference not the video. Had I moved the coil to the right so that the center was actually on the 0" mark it would look like the coil was on the 4" mark and I'd have people saying I had the coil off the mark. I assure you when I said it was hitting the dime at 14" inches that IS the distance the dime was from the coil. Look again at the video and look closer and you'll see what I'm saying. If you have a E-Trac measure the distance from the coil to that coupler at the bottom of the shaft. The top of the brace/coupler is about 6" above the coil. You can see I'm swinging the target just above that coupler yet on the scale you see 4".

Aaron, the first target was a US quarter roughly 4". The second a dime roughly 4". Third a nickle roughly 4". Lastly a penny roughly 4"
 
OK new video done showing the scale more accurately.
