Well guys I jumped ship and pulled the trigger on a XP Deus...
I have to admit it is an amazing machine and in going back over many places
I had covered with my beloved Silver I found more treasures I shouldn't have missed
some of the areas I had also gone over with the Vaq I had borrowed from Reg, I
realize you never cover 100%... but my little front yard of 5x20' that I had covered
and then recovered after finding a mens wedding band, and then went over again
with the Vaq to see if the Silver missed anything... coughed up a wheat and a clad
quarter that I could find no reason for missing, most probably masked is my guess
as the recovery time (reactive on the Deus) is astounding, providing better target
separation than anything I know of.....
I will always be a Tesoro fan and still believe everyone should learn on a single-tone
beep and dig machine as I did cause even the newest, latest and greatest VDI cannot
beat what your ears are telling you.....
So knowing your machine and understanding it's language is still the key to success.
Not selling my Silver either... no telling how long this new technology might last in the field
My second machine will always be the high quality, straight foward simple interface found in a great Tesoro....
and in time I can only hope to learn and understand this new technology even half as well
as I came to know my Silver.
Note; I will be putting 7" Sidescan on my Silver after using one Reg lent me there is
a world of improvement in target separation for sure.
Thanks for all your help over the last year, you guys are the best.
I'll be back with some highlights of the new machine!
