I agree with Jack except that I personally think the Deus is a better coinshooter than the E-trac. I am strictly a coinshooter and I traded my E-trac for the Deus and the first few days wondered if I had made a mistake. Then I learned a few of the tricks possible with the Deus and learned more about how to set my machine up and now think the Deus is a much better machine than the E-trac for what I do. I think that maybe you are not using the Deus to it's full potential especially in the area of changing frequencies to verify your targets. When I got mine for a few days I dug all kinds of junk trying to find coins. Once I learned how to switch frequencies from 12 to 4Khz to check my targets, my junk totals especially rusty bottlecaps almost went non existent and certainly no more than the E-trac. I love the Deus and don't miss my E-trac at all. I went on a group hunt yesterday and my totals on coins far exceeded anyone else and they were using high end machines like the CTX 3030, V3i, Explorer and mid range machines like the AT Pro and Garrett 350. Stay patient, learn your machine, watch videos, ask for advice of others, etc. and you will love the Deus and if you don't you certainly can trade it for another E-trac.
