  3. Not a problem Steve, I greatly appreciate You and Ryan giving me the opportunity to test these out with my ORX
  4. Recently I was sent two RCDIGS mounts to try out with my ORX, and this is an update on those two mounts, which both work great in fact here is my Email to Ryan and @steveg on the RCDIGS mounts for the Deus 2, Deus 1 and ORX, Ryan and Steve, are working on coming up with a mount that will also work with the Deus 1 and ORX Ryan already has a mount that works with the Deus 2 Hi Ryan just wanted to let you know I received your package today Thank you so much, both mounts work great with the ORX controller I took the original controller mount off the shaft and handle of my ORX and then took both RCDIGS mounts out into my test bed and went one at a time in my testbed switching them out, and moving my ORX controller in and out of each, both mounts worked fantastic The Mount for the Deus 2 controller is the one I like the best, because of the angle it puts the controller at, that is a great feature on the Deus 2 mount and with the adapter you came up with it is great, the one thing with the one for the Deus two is the bottom of the Window that the Deus Controller sets in the very bottom of that window could be adjusted just a little to make access to the pinpoint button a little easier to access a little better, for me personally I do not use the pin point feature on the ORX at all so it is no issue at all for me, but with the way people are any more I could see them complaining about that, if I decide to use the Deus 2 mount with the adapter with my ORX I would just take a razor knife and carve it down just a bit so it made it easier to use with the ORX pin point button LOL the Deus 1 mount fit absolutely perfect with the ORX inside that mount, if I had to choose one thing to make different on the Deus 1 mount it would be to offer that mount with a right, left and straight up angle other than that if I were you I would not change either, in fact with the adapter inside the Deus 2 mount and was only going to produce one mount the one for the Deus 2 is the one that I would keep producing and offer the Adapter for sale also so that it would work with the Deus 1, Deus 2 and the ORX, Deus 1 and ORX would require the adapter Both mounts fit great in the ORX shaft they slid right in to the opening where the old controller mount goes, i did pre drill the holes in the part that slides into the shaft after i tried both mounts in my test Bed, the winner for me is the Deus 2 mount with the adapter for the Deus 1 and ORX and the only reason that is, is because of that right hand angle, other than that one thing I actually love both. I will be recommending the RCDIGS mount to everyone I know with a deus2, Deus ! and the ORX because they are fantastic and no more worrying about losing, any of the three controllers makes them very secure, I do have a buddy that actually lost his Deus 1 controller so I will be showing him the next time we detect together, and will let him give one of the mounts a try LOL, I will not let him have it but will allow him to try them the one I have chosen to stay on my ORX is the Deus 2 Mount with the Adapter, If I owe you something for these please let me know Photo Attached is the Deus 2 mount with the adapter
  5. Needless to say I sure did not purchase any extras, and am grateful Rusty through in an extra one I did also ask Rusty if he was serious and he kind of Chuckled and said yep they are proud of those three little parts LOL
  6. Please let us know what the price is you are quoted, I know what I was quoted by Rusty, hope you are not shocked like I was $33.99 per set is what Rusty quoted me I about choked on my Coffee LOL
  7. for me personally I feel Garret should supply those three little parts with each coil especially when the coils are $400 each and I have purchased two spare coils already, and neither coil came with coil bolts and washers, the one set Rusty through in I have setting in my Safe LOL, well not really I have it attached to one of my extra coils which I carry out with me when I go out to detect so it is in the bag that came with my Axiom and I carry that bag with the Extra Coils inside.
  8. I hate to break it to you Steve but when I called to ask about the Coil bolt and two Rubber Washers for the Axiom I was quoted $33.99 for those three little parts that came from Rusty, i had just placed an order for the 16x14 Mono Coil so he ended up throwing in a spare set for me at no charge i about fell out of my seat when he quoted that price to me as I was going to order a few extras one set for each coil, I even made a comment to Rusty and ask him if they were made of Gold
  9. Yep I tried that thing also the problem with the cover that has the neoprene with the colored in buttons is it will not stay in place so you end up pushing the wrong buttons all the time, I dealt with that for about 3 weeks then I pulled it off and went back to my Dean Os cover, that one with those colored in buttons on the neoprene was a good idea if it would have worked as intended, but it moved around to much and would not stay in place
  10. I have not had any issues in ground balancing either DD that I have which is the 13x11 and the 7x11, both seem to balance great in Fine mode, I run my sensitivity at 4 or 5 sometimes down on 3, I do tend to run the 7x11 Mono more though, and I do not use the headphones that came with my Axiom, I use the relay that Wiggins from Avantree sent to me and the Avantree Torus exclusively also, the ground I detect Balances around 54-57 has been as high as 68 on the upper numbers and 44-47 on the lower number
  11. thats the $64000 question and those buttons do need some sort of marking on them they not only look good with the markings but much more functional as far as being able to see them
  12. Well I would agree with you on the Water Proofing if it was not for one thing the Simplex plus has lighted buttons and is also still water proof so your theory goes out the window LOL The Simplex Plus and the Legend pretty much share the same control housing To me personally it was just a stupid over sight on Nokta/Macros part for not making those buttons on the Legend more visible for the consumer to see the buttons better
  13. I tried that when I first received my legend back almost two years ago but could not find any of that paint that actually worked so I gave up on the idea and just painted the buttons gold, I never could figure out why Nokta/Macro did not do something to make those buttons where they were easier to see Your Legend came out really nice with that glow in the dark paint I will tell you there is a controversy going on, on Facebook rite now with people stating it voids your warranty, I do not know if it does or does not but, but painting or coloring those buttons is something nokta/macro should have done from the start, the Legend should have been released with those buttons colored to begin with to make them easier to see while learning the what each button did.
  14. Me neither i do not need another detector but I want another detector LOL
  15. Yeah I have just quit thinking about that E1500, I lose enough sleep over some of the things I think about all the time so as for the E1500, I just started looking at it when it gets to the U.S it gets here then I do not lose any more sleep than I already lose LOL
  16. That settles it i don't want one now I get up and down enough as it is LOL Sorry I could not resist that one, I still want one 😁😁🤣🤣
  17. I was also wondering why it would not even open up hope ya all get it fixed soon good luck
  18. I sent you an email Steve, yes I would absolutely love to be a field tester of the proto type and thank you for the opportunity to do so
  19. Hey Steve if interested I could send you my ORX remote so you could use it as a temp-let and then just send it back to me when finished, i am not getting in much detecting rite now so it would not be an issue to loan it to you, then just send it back when finished with what you need from it. I really want to purchase one of those RCDIGS things but I just have not had a chance to purchase one yet so if you and the manufacturer can come up with a solution for a better fit of the ORX remote I will wait to purchase one when you and RCDIGS comes up with the adapter to make it better for the ORX fit Let me know
  20. to answer your question yes you can use the same holder for Alkaline AA's or rechargeable's, in fact Garret supplies you with 8 Rechargeable AA batteries and the charging Dock at least mine came with those things, plus it came with a thing that you could connect to you battery in your vehicle to allow you to charge your batteries while in the field detecting if needed
  21. I been looking for something that I could use to cover up the Bunks hermit pick so i could carry it on my back but no way would I carry the hermit pick on my back without that head covered because if you fell and that spike was in the wrong direction it would end up being one bad day for you
  22. Wish that would work on my Vista X but unfortunately mine is a 6 Pin which had you not pointed it out I would have never known LOL
  23. Welcome to DP JJHACK, pretty interesting what you once did and where you lived
