Does the DEUS have a depth gauge and pinpoint mode?

Pin point and depth indicator

I can pin point better just dragging the coil back untill I lose the signal better than any pin point I have ever used. The coil on the XP makes it easy!Finder82 said:

The Deus has a very tight, accurate pinpoint. Not always needed with this machine but still good for separating targets and confirming the location of a good signal next to iron. The depth indicator is only present when pinpointing and displays as an empty box on the screen. The closer the target, the more the box fills in - the farther away, the emptier it gets. You probably could use the horseshoe as a depth indicator though.....
As pointed out the horseshoe gives you the depth and also whether the item is ferrous or not.
I pin point using the old fashioned 90` method but if you watch the horseshoe as you get nearer the find with the coil kissing the ground it will darken up when over the nearest point to the find.Jerry.

As many have said, pinpointing with the Deus is very easy using several methods . . . . the infamous "DD-Wiggle", using one of the 4 pinpoint modes including one with the display that Mr. Wilburino referred to, or simply levering the fast recovery speed in zeroing in on a target (great for beach or relic hunting).
The two screen shoots attached show the "horse shoe" icon whcih has been mentioned . . . . it is one of the options that can be selected (I use it all the time) and shows the strength of a target's signal by being darker the stronger or shallower it is. Coins 2" or less will darken the entire side (left is ferrous, right is non-ferrous) while a 12" or so coin will be all white.
The other one is one of the pinpoint screens - as you get closer to the target with the center of the coil, the sides move into the center of the display . . . . another handy way to pinpoint targets. One tip is that the sensitivity in the search mode is set separately from the pinpoint mode - so if you are not getting a signal in pinpoint, bump up the pinpoint sensitivity to match responses in both modes.
Hope this helps
