Deus

[Tugman]

I just tried my dip deus lite V3for the first time I put it on program 9 . On the air test it was good. I tried burying a gold ring a buckle a sixpence and a button 4 inches deep and it didn't detect any on them. Am I doing something really stupid . Any advice please

Did you try any other programs?

I've only been detecting about 6 months. The deus lite V3 is brand new this was my first time out with it. I wasn't getting any good signals just rubbish ones that's why I tried firstly the air test which was good then the burying test with no response from the detector at all. I tried some different program's when I carried on detecting but I didn't find anything. So I'm not sure if it was my bad luck or if its the detector. What I don't understand is why it worked well on the air test

Hi TG hold the coil waist high then switch on, wait 20 seconds then lower the coil to the ground
try program 2 GM Power you are not doing anything stupid just that the coil has to be raised
waist high at switch on in order for it to ground balance correctly.
Hope this helps.

Yaaa...I'm pretty sure you were doing something wrong. I buried a 2.89 gram gold ring in the sand and it hit it at 10". You must pull the shafts out before turning it on, and like said above hold the coil off the ground.

Thanks Les. You have put my mind at ease. I will switch it on as you said in future. Thanks for getting back to me
