hey Ray, I am in the same boat. I bought the 11" ws4 pack and it will be here today. which pack did you get? I just sold my ctx yesterday and to be honest the only reason I sold it was because I have been having neck issues and went to the doc. turns out the disc between my c5 and c6 vertebra is worn in half from a tumble I took years ago. I had been having problems putting in a full days hunt with my ctx and the doc actually said I should quit detecting for awhile. I couldnt see myself doing that so I made the decision to sell my ctx stuff...This is definately not a bag on Minelab post though as I have to admit, I love the ctx...

I got rid of my CTX after I started having wrist and forearm pain. Definitely not a friendly machine to swing. I loved my E-trac and I hope they come out with an E-trac II or Pro soon. I'd love to get one as a second to my Deus. I feel that the E-trac is the best machine in Minelabs hobby decking line-up. Never would have traded it except that I was down to 3 months left on the warranty and the only reason I went with the CTX was that I didn't want to "lateral move". Anyone swinging an E-trac should hang onto it. The newest is not always the best.

Please... I hope everyone with a new Deus has the patience to get the best out of their machine. I'm real happy the Deus is making the big splash in the U.S. that it deserves.

Be very stingy about changing parameters..only change the things you are 110% sure of! You can quickly and easily mess things up.

It's a great machine but has a learning curve to get the most out of it...and Andy Sabisch's book is very much worthwhile to get..it's cheap at twice the price!

PS: After 3 years with my Deus (got mine straight from the factory) I'm getting the new 11" coil..and essentially a NEW detector

The Deus rocks!!!!

Get Andys book, read it several times, highlight and refer back!

The settings are very easy to change on the fly, but there is no real need to mess with them initially. Stick with the stock programs and maybe add a few of Andy's, and get to know the machine before making adjustments.

Lovde the Gray Ghosts as soon as I tried them . I put quite a few hours on a Deus a couple of years ago and the one complaint I had at the time was no full coverage wireless phones for blocking ambient noise but that is no longer an issue

Congrats Ray with getting the Deus, it's one heck of a relic machine you're going to like it allot!

Now go get that second Bust remember seeing a post of yours finding a 1/2 dime Bust with another good machine now it's the Deus turn

WTG!
