To be able swing a detector, weighing less than 2 lbs, with no control box, in the rain/sleet as fast as you can and still be able to hear everything under the coil 
I'm still smiling after getting in from near freezing weather after going to a playground with wood chips, just to try out the Deus for the second time. I tucked the Vance headphones under my beenie, no meter, not even sure what program I was using and simply swing and recover whatever made a sound. I didn't find worth posting, but, I was able to just enjoy the lightweight feel of this machine. I am really impressed that I could swing like a maniac and still get solid hits on the coins, trash etc. As I began looking into the Deus, I watched a few youtube videos from the UK, laughing to myself about how fast these guys were swinging, thinking, they'll never find anything with a search technique like that and moving that fast !! The joke was on me, yes you can and yes you can get a response ! After using the Explorer 2 before getting my Deus, it's low and slow and methodical. Yes, there is a time for that, but, what a nice change of pace. I'm not sure if the Deus has the depth ability of the Explorer, but, I've yet to hunt an area with deep targets and with only a few hours under my belt, perhaps I'm in for a nice surprise, lets hope so. I think I have a great combo with the Deus and the Explorer 2. I just added the 11" coil to the mix of accessories,so, i just need some time and better weather to do some side by side target comparisons. I'm just rambling because I'm very pleased with this new toy
