phrunt Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think we look nerdy enough using our detectors without people seeing us talk to them too, I can just see it now... a guy in a park using his detector with headphones on and a crowd of people around him laughing with him completely unaware they're there and him talking away to his detector to adjust settings. It'd be "Come on your stupid detector, I said recovery 3, RECOVERY 3! R E C O V E R Y 3! 😛 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECris Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 My guess is that will be priced at $1500+. Hopefully I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mh9162013 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The most I'd be willing to pay is $700. That doesn't mean I think the Deus II should sell for that, though. It's just that I'm cheap and love finding great deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Controller included here for $1599, unless they screwed the ad up, which is possible. The same machine goes for $1599 Euros overseas, considerably more. The description does not mention, but clear in multiple pictures. https://www.metaldetector.com/deus-ii-metal-detector-9-ws6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I independently confirmed the $1599 price and the fact it includes the remote with a dealer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushcreek Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I hear it is suppose to start shipping to distributors from XP in December and dealers are taking preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☠ Cipher Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Issue for me is more room than price right now. I used to have a full room available for metal detecting equipment and other technology. At that time I had up to 13 detectors. But everyone kept complaining that I’d disappear into my little man cave, so eventually I turned it into a walk in closet for the wife and integrated my office space into the living room. Now I only have space for up to 5 machines at a time. I can take on one more before I have to start giving up one to get one. So I have to choose carefully. If I take something on it has to do something different/better than those in my lineup. If the Deus 2 could truly be a Deus 1 and an equinox all in one I could take it on, part ways with equinox and still have room for one more. There’s no guarantee that it will be either of those things, however. There’s no telling what compromises had to be made to make Deus 2 what it is. Minelab couldn’t replicate Deus 1 performance in single frequency modes on equinox, and I’m sure they tried. As long as I have this sorted out by Spring I’ll be fine here in NY. There’s only days to weeks of detecting left here before the ground becomes too hard to cut through. I’m very eager to see Deus 2 in some hands and what they can do as soon as possible.

NCtoad Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Here’s why I would pay $1600 for the deus II: This is taken from XP’s website. It looks like xp products are built to last. They have a 5 year warranty! I haven’t checked, but I would suspect this is one of the longer, if not the longest warranty in the metal detector manufacturing business. Kudos to XP! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
