Most of my latest detecting experience is on an F75 LTD. I have made many great finds with it both here in the US and in the UK. I like it because it's fast and light. I usually run my F75 wide open, no discrimination, maximum sensitivity. I can tolerate the chatter but on long days it really wears me down. I am hoping the Deus is the answer and then some!
I don't have many hours on the Deus and this probably why I am having these problems. I have read all the UK reviews to run the programs and set my machine up because I figure they know more about XP machines than we in the US because they have used the machines longer. I distilled down what I need to note-cards and carry those out to the field with me until I know the detector inside and out.
I thought the F75 was a big breakthrough as far as design, technology and weight; but, the Deus blows it away, especially with the different frequencies available and the wireless. The TID numbers on the Deus are remarkably similar to the F75. When I am in the UK for example a target TID at 25 is usually coke.
When using the Deus I have two issues. I don't see a target depth indicator on the screen. I find that occasionally I am unnecessarily digging deep for targets near the surface, little bits of things and even some coins. I now have to take my probe and check the area to make sure it
