Love ingenuity!!!! 👍

Great review Bob. Thank you. I too thought it would be impossible for me to carry my detector in my left, the scoop in my right and my phone in my "third hand". 😅 I see the value for me being registering my finds with time, date, lat/long, depth, TID and photo. Having said that I'm still more than a novice with this new tool right now. More later.....
-
That’s super Bob….👍🏻. That will be exceptionally helpful to all those who use the WS 6 Good job soldier!!!!
-
I'll certainly give it a try. Looks very well thought out. 🙂
-
Thanks. I’ve never used the WS-6 so I’ll leave that project to someone else.😉

In my transition to Deus after decades of using Minelab detectors exclusively, one of the challenges I personally encountered as one of the newest Deus users, was learning where all the functions and sub-functions were located within the relatively expansive Deus menu! I often thought that a published menu tree would have been very helpful for the then 70 year old brain. Since there was no menu tree in the user manual, I decided to build one of my own but only after becoming very familiar with all the menu options. I then decided to do this somewhat differently than just the conventional menu tree format we've all seen in the past. I would build two. One would be the familiar conventional format while the other, the Function Index, would list all the functions and sub-functions in alphabetical order along with their locations naturally. Using these trees in conjunction with the user manual that explains each function, I felt would be helpful to new Deus users especially. Below are the Menu Tree and the Function Index.

2 For 2 At The Beach This Week
ColonelDan replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Good job Bob! Karma coming your way for sure. 🙂 -
Over the years, I’ve experimented with notching even though I knew what the answer would be. I just tested various notch settings with a variety of aluminum to include a variety of pull tabs due to curiosity and maybe a degree of boredom when I couldn’t get to the beach. 😊 The results of my testing did not surprise me. As posted above, aluminum can register in a range of VDIs depending on several factors. What was obvious also was that pull tabs are somewhat like bottle caps in that they are not all alike in composition ergo they cannot be pigeonholed into a specific VDI or even a narrow range of VDIs. Bottom line of all this… like others have said, “If you want the gold, ya gotta risk digging the tabs” Just the conclusion from my boredom driven experimentation…..😂

Great job soldier!! 😄
-
a lot of digging for sure....and well rewarded! 👍

Relic Program For Saltwater Beaches?
ColonelDan replied to Ferrous Grump's topic in XP Deus II Forum
Relic may suit your needs in really dry sand but I stay with a modified Beach Sensitive anywhere close to wet salt sandy beaches....and wet salt sand is about all I hunt. Just the experience from my beachy foxhole.....😄 -
I Finally Got The D2 On A Beach And This Happened!
