Maybe it was a notch that was refered to.
Anyway I appreciate your offerings.
Im gonna try it in the morning at a spot I worked hard with 3030.
Im thinking I wont have any easy targets that the CTX didnt find, but probably more of iffy type that just sound different.
Not expecting any miracles, but gonna see if the Deus is different enough to find some keepers.
bibelot said:The deus lite has great programs without the expert settings. Try number 9 hot program uses full tones. I adjust the disc to a setting of -4 instead of -6.4 and turn the sensitivity up to 93. If it is too busy for you, turn the disc up to 1 or 2 and it will knock out more chatter.#6 is a great program for deeper targets.#3 for trashier sites, #9 for iron infested sites., #6 for sparse targets.
mcb613 said:Thanks Bib, thats the kind of headstart help I was looking for.
Why not get a little help... not like Im a newbie that needs to pay my dues. I started out with a $15 Radio Shack Christmas present, some 40 yrs ago. I dug every signal with that thing. Never found one silver coin, but sure loved it.
Thanks again!
My CTX sits idle while I seem to always grab the Deus but now I have the Deus with remote added to the Deus lite .It will find coins on edge better than the CTX and maybe you should try using #6 program for open ground rather than the hot program if you've already hunted it with the CTX.I think it will do a little better for you. It is quite a task to expect a $700 machine to outperform a $2400 machine but not everyone comes from the CTX like we did. The XP tutorials are very informative, listen to the signals that he digs. They are rather different than the CTX, you will not dig much iron after you realize what nuances in the signal to look for.mcb613 said:Well, I here with this mornings report. All high tones turned up iron, just like the CTX. I did find a wheat and silver nickle in the same hole that Im dure I passed with the CTX.
I used very little disc and high sens on P9. Im use to tone hunting from my Excalibur. I think this machine could puck some keepers out of trashy sites, but dont think its any better in open ground.
I do like the light weight though.
So I guess Im un-impressed, but it is only first hunr.
Thanks for the tips guys.
