Loving the Deus 2 on the Beach!

[davidm88]

Went out yesterday for a 3 hour hunt. Beach was sort of sanded in bit still managed to pluck these. 14k and emerald cross, 14k diamond earring and a sterling turquoise earring. Good bit of pull tabs, toasted zincolns and aluminum pieces as well.

Awesome finds, David. That cross is especially pretty. Way to go!

With those finds I’d be liking it too! They really hit a homer with the D2 for just about everybody’s needs and uses. I have found it to be THE tool I need for my uses as well.

The DeusII has been vedy, vedy Good to You. Nice Saves on the beach. I especially like the emerald cross.

See my other recent post on this forum regarding 1st beach hunt. Settings work well on my beach.

Thinking of the D2 for beaches (lotsa black salty sands) in Pacific North West. Two models I notice. Big price difference. Since I do not dive do I need the most expensive option. Thanks

I am not an expert to be offering advice, just observations. I have been a Equinox 800 user for 2-3 years on the beach. Since switching to the D2, I have noticed a couple of advantages over the Nox: the first is the D2 will give you a faint but positive non-ferrous tone on deep targets where the Nox will signal the target as iron quite often. The second is that the D2 has a lot more adjustments to maximize stabilization and sensitivity than the Nox. Not really sure if you're referring to other machines in comparison, just some thoughts on my personal experiences. Hope this helps!

Thanks DM88 .... Observations in the real world is a good basis for opinion ..thanks for your reply. Big help. My question was also about the 2 models of D2. One is far more expensive than the other. Just wondering why I would need to fork out more money than I need to. I do not intend to dive with a detector just beach hunt up here in wilds of British Columbia coasts. thanks again...

I am under the impression that the D2 Lite with the WS6 instead of the regular remote would be more than capable of doing what you need. I opted for the regular remote because it does have slightly more capabilities, it is fully waterproof (I don't dive, but often get my detector very wet with surf splashes, downpours and rinsing off after a hunt). I also got the WSAII-XL headphones (another reason I bought the Deus). The phones are waterproof up to 1 meter. I don't like to worry about water damage while I'm hunting.

.... thanks for that, I am getting closer to an order. So my order would be: D2 Lite, regular remote, WSAll-XL headphones. ?

If you order the D2 with the regular remote, the WS6 is included with back phone headphones. I think that package is about $1500. The WSAII-XL headphones are 200 bucks extra.

With a little shopping around the full package can be had for $1300 USD.

I got the regular remote., the back phones-(WS6), 9" coil . . . . . . . Later on I got the WSAII-XL headphones and the 13" coil for (hopefully), more depth. . .jury is still out on the depth of the 13" coil compared to the 9". . . . . I love the 9" and its separation abilities . . . . opens up the old sites.
Thing is, back when I ordered, you ordered one group and you may of had to wait. I told mt dealer whatever comes quicker, I'll take. Just so happened, the back phones were available first, paired with the remote and 9" coil. . . .that's why I had to order the full HP later.

How small of jewelry has anyone found on beach or land with the D2. Some detectors will hit a gold eariing back.

I get to the beach about twice a year last September using the D2 dug a nickel at 14 inches deep with 9 inch coil..solid soft tone..I was really impressed with a 9 inch coil sounding that good on a 14 inch nickle..
