I took Deus out for its maiden voyage today to a place I've taken my other detectors. I only covered a small portion which is one of the areas I've hit the most. I didn't expect to find much (which I didn't). I just wanted to get a feel for the detector. So far I like it and I know once I get used to it, it will be deep, but the one problem I seem to have is with full tones. I read that the audio responses are supposed to be smooth and blend together, but I found when air testing coins that they were almost too high pitched...almost like a whine. Some signals I didn't want to dig because they were zippy. Was there a setting I may have had to cause this? Or is there something I can change. I still have a bunch to learn, but even when air testing coins, they didnt sound that great when they were farther from the coil

Full tones question
- Thread starter DigDugNY

I wouldn't use full tones right from the start. it takes some time to learn the differences and nuances of the tones before you become proficient.
I think you're looking for a lot of frustration starting with full tones, its something you should grow into.
That being said, full tones is all I use now and I still get fooled plenty of times on high conductivity targets.

These videos will help speed up your learning curve...btw, the Deus is pretty easy to learn...

I have hunted with full tones from day one on the Deus. They were somewhat disappointing at first and still are but I was expecting them to rival other detectors in descriptiveness and they don't.
I think you will find them to be more blendy in the 3 , 4, or 5 tone modes than full tones but still limited by the restriction the tone settings are set at but , this provides a type of tonal discrimination without notching that can be very useful at some locations and would be deadly with a small coil. One thing which may enhance the tones for you a bit is to lower your reactivity setting to 1 or even 0 and hunt in some less trashy areas for awhile until the tones "take". The tones get shorter and clipped as you get into the higher reactivity settings.
