Some info on deus in iron

[squirrel1]

I I recently acquired a Blisstool v6 detector and have been doing some comparison testing, using the deus.

Some interesting things I think we're discovered.

You'll here some folks say deus is best at unmasking in 18khz.
Well this is not entirely true based on my test and experiences.

The freq used depending on the detecting/unmasking/separation scenario will give somewhat different outcomes.

In same plane separation/ unmasking true the 18 kHz is the best, but in a 3D scenario where the say iron/nails are above the coin/target---this is where things change somewhat.

It seems for high conductors 12 kHz works the best in the 3D concept, but 18 kHz works better on low conductors.

8khz doesn't fair as well as 12 kHz with coins below iron, and 4khz is terrible----many targets would be missed.

An on nickels -- the deeper ones 4 kHz even in clean ground-----they are invisible in my soil
8khz is better than 4 kHz, but not near as good as 12 kHz.

that's helpful, thanks for the test info.

Hi Squirrel,In the manual it said for new people to start in12 Khz. My first hunt I used the basic 1 program and did not like it much. The next time I went I went with basic 2 and had much better luck. I do mostly coin and jewelry. what program do you think would be the best to get started? My ground is mild and I do hunt in trash a lot. Thanks for any help flintstone

Basic 2 is a good choice to get started. Let me guess basic one was more busy vs basic 2????
It should have been. 8 kHz. Not as resonant on the smaller things like foil bits.

You can try to run a little notch in basic 2, like notch 00-40. That'll quieter your unit down even more.

And let me say something here. When you are running factory programs, you can make changes if you want to experiment a little. If you get confused or lost or forget what you changed---- just turn your unit off and back on and you are back at square 1.
Meaning all settings in factory programs are returned to their default settings.


Cheers

Thanks for all the work and information. In fact, I was reading some of your old posts today, and enjoy all the info. I love my Deus, but have a lot to learn. HH-Mark

Mark,
The best way to learn deus is go to trashy sites and sites loaded with nails..
Virgin cleaner sites will not provide the needed education.

And by all means experiment with your settings even after acquiring a target to see what works and what don't.

It won't take as much time as you think.

Forum discussion also helps.

You hear or see something you don't understand just say so. Remember folks can learn from you as well-- even from your questions/ concerns.

also, set it up to go as deep as possible and retry cleaner areas where you got older targets. you might find deeper targets that are older.

but squirrel1 is right - if you learn how to use the deus in the trash, you will go to places where most detectorists give up quickly. lots of fun goodies await!
