superstitions when firing up the deus.

[newuser]

This may have been brought up before but I was curious about when you fire up the Deus and once It's calibrated a # comes up, sometimes it's a 06 sometimes in the 40's and I've had 70's show up. This happens when I still have the coil in the air. I've gotten superstitious about it and I will turn it off and back on until I get a higher #. Whether or not I'm doing something wrong I haven't a clue. Regardless is it normal, does anybody else do this, or am I the only not job that is superstitious about this. Just curious, does any body have any thoughts or opinions on this.
Thanks

in air the deus always has noise signals, when put on ground it becomes stable. its normal, after calibrating i think its at its most sensitive.
just turn on and Hunt!!! and for best results, don't look on the screen

When I fire up my Deus, I always face East and my left foot is always at a 45 degree angle to the direction I am facing. I always keep my eyes set on a 1000 yard stare while I quietly whisper "The alligator's left the building" repeatedly. Once the coil light stops blinking, I am all set to start hunting.

Just kidding! Just do what hamdit said.

If it's working, then keep doing it. If a low number is going to break your concentration then you have no choice, it's an automatic do over.

I'll take superstitions any day over negative doubt.... If you feel good about it, drive on! I've never noticed the screen on my initial start up, I'm usually looking at the area I'm detecting for last minute thoughts on my approach!! My acronym gives me the advantage, it's all mental ..DEUS =(Doing Everything Under the Sun)

Me too! Only I prefer to plant my right foot at 45deg.

In all seriousness though, I do search out a clear metal free area when I power the coil up.

Like Andy says " hands up! Or at least your coil"

It increases my finds when I yell "hey this is private property" as my machine is starting up .. Seem to find more that way
