Gmaxx Bumped the reactivity up to 2 and iron volume to 1 while still comparing readings with the xy screen in the deep mode. Still learning. Today's deus finds.

Thanks Chase. I picked up used 9 and 11" original lf coils. I may at some time pick up one of the newer (hf or x35) coils but right now I'm happy with the lf coils. 

 I played with the Equinox and the Deus to check recovery speeds. I hunt with the Equinox at 7 recovery speed 99% of the time. The G-Maxx program seemed really close to the same and I usually don't listen to the iron unless I feel a need to check the target. I've just started but right now I'm liking G Maxx and the deep with xy screen to check targets. I always dig a lot of signals with a new machine so I can actually see what the sound/ lines (xy screen) are. Thanks again for the tips. I'm glad to read any input from more experienced users anytime. Tom

  I was showing my orx and deus lite to a friend and he wanted to buy the orx so I sold it and bought the deus controller. He loves the orx (so did I) and now I'm really liking the deus. 

 I've been using 5-G-MAXX and checking each target with 6-DEEP (xy screen)to see the correlation between the two on targets. It takes very little effort to switch back and forth and I think I'm starting to see the difference between good targets and bad ones.(after a LOT of digging) I say lot of digging but I've only been out with it twice.

Anyways,  after hitting the signal I knew it wasn't a coin but the XY screen said better investigate...glad I did. My first Civil War spur. I think the extra info you get really helps with the dig or not dig decisions we all have to make. Just some thoughts so far using my Deus. Any advice appreciated! Thanks! Tom

We had been finding some minnie balls at a location but today it had something else show up. 

It was a first for me. 

I have bought the trond transmitter that Chase referred to and got some aukey ear buds that Dan told me about and by adjusting the volume they will work. I haven't paired my ml80's back up and tried adjusting the volume but they would not work. Paired fine but the sound was not right.

Don't we already have the ability with four different inland modes to make each one a user profile and the one we use the most the actual user profile button so you don't have to run thru the sequence of modes each time you use it.

I used field1 (changed settings to mimic pk1) along with my pk1 user profile which gives me three different setups out of pk1. Each one tweeked to make it do what I wanted.

The 800 is an awesome machine!

I just ordered the trond from Amazon. This unit will be mainly for my son. I like the orx and now he'll have this to play with when we're not using our 800's.

I just got my first civil war relics with the orx Mon. a 54 sharps and a round ball. They came from the battle here in 1861.

Sorry, I should have been more detailed with my question. Here's what I have currently using ear buds. I think the Trond that Chase mentioned its what I'm looking for. I just like being able to see the numbers.

All good!! Amazing what pushing the right button will do...Thanks Chase! 😁

Actually, my manual says hold the "Menu" button down for 2 sec, not the "minus" button.

If that doesn't work, note that was a feature that was added in the Deus version 5 update.  To determine if your WS4's are V5, you should see a "50", "51", or "52" displayed when you first turn on the phones.  If they display ver 4 (e.g. 4X) or lower, then they need to be upgraded.  You can only upgrade the phones if you also have access to a Deus controller and pair the phones to the controller then run an update on both using a PC (one drawback to the Deus lite configurations). HTH.

Oh goodness! It's awful to get old..well it does have a few draw backs but anyways Chase I zoomed in on the manual and it sure does say hold 2 sec. on the menu button NOT the minus button..🙄oops! Thanks so much for your input!

Is it not possible to adjust the reactivity with the ws4's?In the manual it says hold the minus button for 2 sec and the disc will flash, then you can adjust reactivity. If I hold the minus down it just goes into hyper mode lowering the disc. Is there something I'm doing wrong or...don't know or understand. Thanks!

Cool relics! 

Sweet!! Nice finds!

I have the orx that I'm trying to learn now. I hadn't planned on getting a deus. George suggested getting the ws4's to make a deus lite. I just wondered if there would be some kind of advantage over the orx in doing that. Thanks!

Now get yourself a ws4 headphone, pair it to your coil and remove the ORX remote and you now have a Deus lite. Thats what I will run.

Ok George, now you got me to thinking...lol 

I thought the coil did the work and just sent the signal to the headphones and controller or in the case of the deus lite.. coil to headphones. I know there are some adjustments with the headphones you can make but what is the advantage in doing that. Thanks, Tom

Hmm never thought about that.

Got my first Indian with the orx along with a toasted wheatie and a few other treasures.

There is no 11" HF coil. The HF coils come in the 9" round and the 5X9.5" Elliptical coil. If you want a 11" coil you'll have to go with the X35 .

Looks liked the x35 it is.lol..Thanks Tom I guess I hadn't got that far into my research.

That Mi-6 Pin pointer with the ORX is GREAT! The best Pin Pointer I've ever used. Not that I've used them all but I much prefer it to the Garretts or White's TRX. Rechargeable, Waterproof, Adjustable, Sensitive, and you can even use the detector to find it if you forget and leave it at your last target, what's not to like about it?   I have the two HF Coils and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. They each have their place. I've been super happy with my Nox 800 but after I got my Orx I haven't used the Nox. Not because the Orx is better, but it's just so fun to use. It's so lightweight, the wireless coils make changing them super easy, and the detector is the fastest I've ever used. Wish I had gotten the Deus when they came out. All that said, the Nox 800 and the ORX have me covered for my type of hunting. 

 

Tom, 

      I'm feeling the same way. Those are my only two detectors. I've owned a bunch but I fell like these two will take care of all my hunting needs as well. I love my 800 but the ORX sure is fun to use. In the next month or so I'll be getting an 11" coil... either the HF or X35. I haven't decided for sure which one yet.

 Tom

Well I've got to take the ORX out some and I'm liking it fine. Like any new machine it'll take time but the im6 pinpointer is awesome. I just got it and have only used it once but I love it! If minelab could come up with a pinpointer that paired with the Equinox I would have one. 

Congrats! More treasures await! 

I went hunting this evening with a friend who was using his Equinox while I was trying out the orx. Yikes!! The orx doesn't like being near the Equinox at all. Is there something I can do besides turn my sensitivity down. That seemed to work but I was hoping there was another option. Thanks!

Cool find! Yep, that 6" coil will certainly pick out a keeper that's been hiding. 

Hey Joe! Congrats on the bucket lister!! It's always a good day to get one of those!
