French toast(ed) on Spanish silver....

That Florida "expert" who runs the "I'm the guru just trust what I say" forum has their disciples running rampant about the Deus this and Deus that...

Now I own a Deus - it has it's place...and I've owned it probably longer (here is the USA) than everyone except for about 5 brave souls that bought from France...I was shipped on the first order that came into the USA from the USA importer..And yes....I've put the hours in...probably over 400 detecting hours - I know that machine and I know it's limitations and it's uses...but it's been heralded as the fastest gun in the north, south, east and west for separating out iron..

Well - Folks - there's a new Sheriff in town:

Thanks for all your work with the comparisons. Very informative.

Bury it 10" down and try the test again. Brass tacks and all that....

When we hunt in iron infested sites, which I do, we tune our ears to hear that little chirp, just like the one the Deus gave off.
Can the Deus tune out the iron grunt like the DT?

As far as the 'guru', no need for that. Check under your saddle Barry.

Thanks for the vid, its making me hungry. Its an Interesting comparison. The single tone on the smart seems to have enhanced that signal more than 2-tone. It even sounded better than the Deus' signal. I have to say Ive owned my Deus since march '12, and I would have dug that chirpy signal in a heart beat. Now that I have a smart, some decent weather and field time will separate the men from the boys.

Hi Terry.........
Although these videos are VERY informative for many reasons including actually listening to tonal reactions of machines in different modes and with different targets - they do pose the problem of swinging over a known target which is NOT mimicking real world field detecting...

Realistically speaking - swinging in a normal way while walking your site (unless crawling through the iron) - you would need a "chirpy" signal to really jump out at you to have you even stop and investigate.....this goes for EVERY machine out there...I'm not putting down the Deus in this example...the same could be said for the DeepTech - although that single tone mode really grabbed the coin..there was no doubt it was there....

Hi Steve...
The Deus was set on Deus Fast. The Iron Vol level is default to 3.
If you set the Iron Vol level to 0 - you do eliminate any Iron tones completely...that's worth investigating - thanks.

It does not hurt , that the Vista has a elliptical coil that has a smaller foot print than the 9 inch round.

 

[woodchiphustler]

What was the reactivity set at on the Deus?

 

[Barry NY]

Default Deus Fast = 3. Yes it goes to 5. Does anyone go up there?

What was the reactivity set at on the Deus?

 

[woodchiphustler]

Only in an iron patch with allot of nails.

 

[gmanlight]

Look out for the skinny coil
