  1. If you're searching for salt water jewelry you need minimal discrimination, stable sensitivity and recovery speed that will allow the deepest penetration. You will dig all repeatable non ferrous target (gold can fall anywhere from lower nickel to upper quarter ranges and above. Two years ago I dug a huge wedding band that my ring would go inside of. I was digging everything in the before mentioned range. This huge ring came in on the upper end of pull tabs. I was so excited.
  2. Well I received my headphones and very happy with their work. The note stated the main board was replaced and all seems to be working as expected. Wow, I'm glad they quit before the 2 year warranty window. Thanks XP Deus
  3. Sent my Deus 2 XL head phones in for repair. They would unpair at random and at times no light would be on during the pairing mode. Talked to the repair guy about the issues I was having and he mentioned unstable or weak battery. Well, anyway I'll see how or what they do this week. Either way, the Deus 2 is the very best performer I've owned in 25+ years of detecting. Absolutely no complaints. I love them
  4. You really need to read the entire warranty very carefully. They don't cover weak batteries even within the 2 year warranty period.
  5. I updated my machine to the beta version last week even though I don't have the new HF coil. And hunted one time. Seems to have been quite a bit of internal changes to the programs. Notice right away that the new version did poorly using default programs in my test garden. There are obviously a few differences including slow ID responses from close targets in the ground. But thankfully the audio was correct. I'm sure XP will make necessary corrections. But for now, I may go back to the earlier version. Actually may scope the detector to see if any changes has been made to signal amplitude. Always good to know.
  6. Using the Deus 2 beach program with one adjustment. (maximum audio volume) Rang up at 77-78 and well over 18" deep in the set sand. Amazing.
  7. Hope your prototype is a success

  8. Must see tutorial. 2.5 minutes
  9. Thanks very much for the information. I was not aware of the symbol history.
  10. Found this item detecting yesterday where we had found World War 2 item. Had a person tell me this was pre-World War 2 and not during the war. Kind of spooky.
  11. DWerk, you are correct, I have purposely reduced the sensitivity in order to locate the transmit frequencies (without the harmonics in the mix).
