Will Deus 1 be obsolete?

Non that I know of that are for civilian use and hobby . Granted most detectorist are land hunters so … HH with what ever detector you choose to hunt with and have fun . Life is to short.

I bought the xp deus 2 and it has bottle cap reject on it and also water proof. I can go into an area loaded with bottle caps and sniff out coins and silver jewelry with the xp deus 2. The xp deus 1 on the other hand does not have bottle cap reject, so when I go over a bottle cap I have to check it out. I still have the xp deus 1 with the HF coil, waiting on a battery for it.
I am going to try a experiment and hunt with the xp deus 1 with the HF coil for a couple days. Then try the xp deus 2 with the 9 inch coil for a couple of days see how I do.
I do not think the XP Deus 1 will be obsolete as it still preforms well and is a Light machine.

 

[Nauti]

No decent machine is ever obdolete.

 

[Foiled]

Nope, not obsolete, I have both 1 and 2.

 

[woodbutcher]

No machines are ever obsolete, as long as they're still working.

So I love the dues 1. I have two very old gen 1 machines. Sometimes my daughter or a buddy goes with me and I let them run my spare machine. I’m about to buy a new gen 1 because it worries me they may stop making the gen 1. I also have a buddy with the gen 2 who says he likes the gen 1 better but he wanted the waterproof capability of the 2. I personally have filled multiple display cases with the 1 and it just seems to never let me down. I can’t justify spending the money on a 2 because I don’t go out detecting as much as I use to. I also don’t feel
Like starting over with the learning curve. My machine is on the charger now and I’m headed out to a site I wasn’t able to find a few years back and I actually stumbled across it shed hunting the other day. Crazy how things can be hiding right under your nose.

Plus the fact that the 2 isn't going to find you any more than the 1 in reality.

Ground mineralization where I detect determines whether a VLF is obsolete or not. Deus 2 can detect AND identify coin sized targets at 9 to 11” depth where I detect.

Deus 1 might hit a 9” deep coin here but it will respond as iron. It could only accurately identify 4” or shallower targets.

So for me and where I detect, Deus 1 was totally obsoleted by Deus 2 since most of my detecting in moderate to high mineralization is selective digging. No way am I allowed to I dig it all on public property.

Anytime I have Deus 1 separation syndrome I just run my Deus 2 in its Mono or Fast40 single frequency program and then I get over my sense of Deus 1 loss.
