It has to be simultaneous multi-frequency to compete with Minelab. You can easily see in all the digging groups that Minelab is kicking everyone's butt in the market for detectors. I love my Deus and I own two of them so I won't be in any hurry to run out and buy a new machine. It would be nice if the coil for the new machine worked on the Deus but I highly doubt that would be the case.
my money is on an orx replacement thats water proof

Yeah me too. I might ask Mrs. Santa to hook me up with one. The only problem with that is that she will ask Mr. Santa for a $60,000 Lexus or something. Not sure I really want to spend $62,000 on a new metal detector.

Anyone have cost info?
somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 to 1,600 hundred dollars , Drew .Quote:

From a quick scanning through the manual it looks very similar to the original , the menus are a bit different (maybe better in my opinion ) but the over all part of the "FMF" (workings explained ) are vague
One of the issues with the Nox I mentioned above was "tone modulation," loud/shallow soft/deep(also some shaping). The Nox600 has tone mod but it's not as effective as my years old T2. Example, the other day I got a faint subtle target, which with all the large iron chirping I could have easily missed...it was a 50cent sized round copper thingy AT 2 INCHES. That thing should have screamed.
I started watching Deus1 vids to help me decide if Deus2 might be for me.
I see there's a setting on the Deus called "Audio Response." This, along with a more normal tone sounds (Minelab tones remain an enigma to me), might be a better fit for me.
Also 99 VDI on Deus...I don't understand why Minelab cut the number scale in half. I still don't know if I'm digging a dime or penny.
It's a pain the Deus2 will be $700 more than my Nox600.
Yeah it seems like XP put a lot into expanding the audio options with the Deus II. The big question for me is it better in the iron then the old Deus? Presently I work those iron patches hard with low and high frequencies. Does the FMF platform mean less hunts are needed to sniff out the goodies? Will it find stuff I missed in my pounded to death sites?
good points Drew , the Deus does have a 0 to 99 vdi scale but almost all from 0 to 30 will be in the iron area so your scale is really from 31 to 99 so it is compressed as well . Shotgun shells (i hate them the most ) can signal from the 60's to high 80's , most will sound super shallow or even "double hit" on the machine but many of the deeper sounding ones you have to dig . the deus has some great features and the longer you use it the more the subtleties forms of discrimination you understand .Quote:

9" coil for me Drew. I want maximum separation.
That's the one I went with as I always use my smaller nox coil now. I ordered earlier today....I'm hoping I can use my old pinpointers.
I hope it lives up to its name Deus2=God2 :lol:
I run a CTX and am wondering for those of you who might have bought the Deus 2 if it would be a compatible machine. In all honesty, I am not a gear or tech head so reading up on frequencies etc of equipment makes my head spin. I love my CTX, but the Deus has nice features too that seem appealing in the field. Never ran a Deus or even used one, but it seems you folks that have one like it.
I don't have the Deus II yet but I have already started building my custom programs. :lol: I converted the program page in the Deus II manual to Excel to make it easy. If anyone wants the file just PM me your email and I will send it to you.
I'm PMed, although my total experience using the deus was the one day you let me try yours for 10min:lol:
I am cancelling my Deus II order and getting a badger instead !

Did you see the British Deus guy training his dog to find silver coins??
That is brilliant! I wonder what kind of depth you can get with a silver sniffing dog.
I'd be worried about the unsightly holes that the dog would leave in the public parks I hunt. :lol:
You should have seen my holes when I transitioned from cellar holes to parks :lol:Quote:

Is it odd you need a PC to update the Deus 2? What about the 1000s of mac users?
Has anyone heard if the size of the coil ordered has a bearing on delivery date?
The coils are DD, right?
Apparently so. Here is what I was able to find on your question .Quote:

Thanks, George!! I couldn't find the deus2 coil on that site. It looks like the Deus1 coil is DD so I imagine this one is.
My Deus II (with 11-inch coil) has arrived and is waiting for me in Germany! In April I will be spending about 8 days detecting in the Swabian Alps with 6 other guys and living the good life! woo-hoo!
That sounds like a great way to break in your new Deus II. Might be hard to top your previous Deutschland expedition, but I am sure you will make some great finds. We will expect daily posts.Quote:
