    Wait For Deus II To Mature?

    Nope, not me. Yes you. I know who you are on the other forums. 

    Only after using advances settings does it appear to have par capabilities.  It's deeper on advanced settings. It's part of what you're paying for. I have both and have tested both side by side. I didn't have to borrow one or have a tag-a-long. 

    I do not have distain of anybody regardless where or how they post. Your post on other forums contradict that statement.

    The Equinox goes deeper in the Horseshoe Mode than in the discrimination mode on the Equinox>PERIOD. It does, yet, it's still not as deep at the D2. And, it will also annoy on a trashy beach.

    It is what it is. D2 is deeper if you know how to set it up.

     

     

     

     

    Gee all I wanted was to ask is if I should wait LMAO! Already made up my mind to get a D2.......

    I'm definitely getting a DEUS II.  I need the lightest machine available because of a worn out shoulder being replaced soon.

    Should I wait until the supposed bugs are addressed like lower shaft flex and other issues? Maybe other coil options I don't know.

    The Legend Wouldn't Hit A Gold Chain. Probably Preset Iron Bias.

    Looks likes the testing of machines in this hobby has taken a turn for the worse. I took out an old Treasure Pro yesterday and found 2 silvers,  an old double edge razor and an earring. That was in High Trash the sensitivity set to ridiculous, and a dog barking in my ear all day. Nice to see so many people getting exercise jumping to conclusions. Looks like the manufacturer is going to pop an aneurysm.

    Any Ideas On This One?

    I don't know why they didn't figure this out years ago.

    I never really had any metal detector that could not react to a coin at 4" though. So you must be in really tough soil. 

    Could you please post a video of the actual test you did?

    I fully understand what you are saying.

    You're mostly spot on here, but can't help myself to clear up some technical details.  VLF Induction Balance metal detectors are designed to operate from less than 4 khz to above 60 khz (not HZ).  And the coil as an antenna is not the sole source of EMI susceptibility on a detector.  A lot of near field EMI from cell phones and nearby wifi transmitters (as opposed to power line noise) and even emissions from the coil (in really poorly designed detectors) leaks into the micoprocessor electronics from poor case shielding.  This is especially true of the Nox which doesn't like a cell phone in the vicinity of the control pod.

    That's called tuition! Thanks, because I wasn't sure about the frequency. I know about the poor shielding in the control pods. That may be easily addressed.

    The Minelab PI detectors deal with electrical storms hundreds of miles away, and even compensate for the earths magnetic field. A jet flying overhead can mess with you. I can tell the difference from solar and borealis activity. The more powerful the detector, the crazier it gets.

    It's like the better they get the worse they get!

    This commentary and more on EMI issues gives me real pause. EMI is indeed a huge issue to deal with in engineering a SMF detector. I know because I was on the forefront of that in the Equinox design effort. It’s an extremely complex issue, and can only be alleviated, not eliminated. The main lesson I got was in how poorly designed, and how “leaky”, our electrical grid is in the U.S.

    My main hope and use of the Deus 2 was going to be urban park use, but I do have serious EMI issues near to home. The Equinox was tuned to some degree for my environment, and so I know how to handle it as well as can be done, and am pretty satisfied with what I have. I’m a bit concerned now about what testing may or may not have been done, as regards the Deus 2 and EMI in the U.S., as testing in Europe alone would not be sufficient to deal with our electrical grid.

    I’m going to have to ponder this at length. I’ve never needed a Deus 2 since day one, and in many ways it will just be a distraction I don’t need this summer. I still have time to cancel my order, and put the money aside for what I really want, which is a another PI someday. I’ve cleaned house of excess detectors recently, and the last thing I need is another detector, that I’m just going to have to turn around and sell.

    The coil on a metal detector is an antenna. The more sensitive the antenna the more emi affects it. It's not just the power grid, It's everywhere. One way to shield yourself is distance from the source. alternative methods would be to use shielded cables in the power grid which isn't going to happen. Power is transmitted on uninsulated cables for 100s of miles. Frequency is 60 cycles in the USA and countless harmonics. Power is flowing through the earth and creates potential differences between points in the ground. It seems that metal detectors are designed from 4 to over 60 HZ so they are basically designed to be bothered by this frequency. through no fault of their own. Just like driving a car with the AM radio on near a overhead power line. Receivers are just that designed to receive. If you turn on a TV and have no signal you'll see the white fuzz and hiss. That's the sound of the universe that the receiver is receiving and interpreting as a picture. It's never going away. Just have to tune the sensitivity down or change the frequency of the receiver to an acceptable workable level.

    Or move!

    Deus 2, Disappointed By What I Saw

    I ran my buddies D2 while he used his Nox 800 yesterday at the beach. It's really not close. The 800 is a better beach detector by far. My D2 is coming in Tuesday. I paid 1300 dollars. I'm not even going to remove it from the box. I'm going to sell it. Very disappointed after having such high hopes. 

    Xp will need to do something with how the vdi screen is constantly changing when swinging over a target. It's a major annoyance. 

    So what are you asking for it?

    Smart Pro + is supposed to be a very good relic/coin hunter. It does lack threshold control though. Not sure how much that effects the nuances or not. One thing with the Tesoros is threshold when run barely audible gives you more nuances. Example is when people "super tune" their Vaquero's they are essentially making the faint fringe targets louder and does not effect the actual depth of the machine. This would be similar to EUD function on the Kruzer and racers had. By doing so you flatten and clip the audio response.

    Smart Pro+ can be seen on YouTube here:

     

    I'd buy it if I didn't have a Tesoro!
