Using a Deus in modern trash,,,like any other detector,,this can be challenging.
Using Deus in such an environment,,,sure a person can use settings just like they are hunting an old site with (little or no modern trash),, instead with loads of nails.
And yes some good finds can be had,,,but here is another way to sniff out some good higher conductive targets.
The Deus is one quick detector,,,it tonally can reflect different targets of differing conductivity.
But it too has its limits.
So what can a person do,,,to maybe put the odds in their favor,,,meaning find more hopefully with less digging.
Sure folks working on a dig all nonferrous protocol,,,fewer good finds likely to slip by,,but at the same time doing so depends on the site (how much one can dig),, how much time they have to actually detect ( during current outing).
I encourage folks to try the following experiment,,,get yourself a few of the different styles of pull tabs,,and a few higher conductive coins like wheat head, dime, quarter,,silver ring.
The purpose of this exercise to to reflect ,,,,how the Deus can react and report tone to the user (tone wise),,, and alert user to dig.
Like I said before the Deus is quick,,,extremely good separation for coil size,,,meaning it is capable of alerting users to higher conductors tone wise when they are commingled with mid and lower conductors.
So I encourage folks to start mixing higher conductive coin and pull tab on top of the ground,,,experience with spacing,,,,you should notice as distance closes between the tab and coin,,,Deus tone provided on higher conductor doesn't sound the same.
If an op will slow sweep and listen closely,,,you can actually hear the Deus providing a mid and highe tone on the sweep--- but is pretty hard to hear.
Btw try the following program Deus fast stock program.
So this different tone provided on the ( extremely close) positioned nonferrous objects,,,,can the higher tone actually be made more pronounced ,,,so one can hear easier???
The answer is yes.
Now I need to say doing the following will work,,,but some targets ( good) will be missed ( most likely those near iron possibly).
As a user sweeps the lower conductive tab and say dime ( while closely) positioned,,,the tone provided take note of it,,,and look at the Deus' meter.
You should be hearing what sounds like one continuos tone (with a hint of higher tone and lower tone,,,almost like a hee haw sound as the coil passes over.
User should also see in the meter,,an average TID provided,,TID provided midway mostly between the actual VDI readings when each ( the lower and higher conductor) are swept separately.
Note this meter reading.
Next go to your notch setting in the menu,,,start applying notch,,and notch up to the average (composite) meter reading noted above,,,then swing back over closely commingled objects.
Then raise your notch a little more and resweep.
Continue repeating this,,you should reach a point where a nice high tone is being provided on say the dime,,,,even though the tab is extremely close.
With some more experimenting,,,a Deus user should be able to tell,,,,how much notch they wish to try to eek out some of the better targets ( higher conductors) out of areas with lots of modern trash like foil,,can slaw and tabs.
Is this a perfect system,,when used ??? Nope.
But it will work nevertheless.
Give this experiement a try,,,and consider using it in some of your sites.
Users should notice,,,if they "just" notch up tab level VDI wise,,,the Deus' tone not a clear high tone,,,but with some additional raises in notch setting,,,higher conductor rings in with nice high tone.
This recommendation is an additional way to hunt a site--- not designed to be a end all or one all method of hunting sites with modern trash.
Cheers.
