I'm using the XP MI-6 pinpointer. I really like it.

Same here. Great complement to the ORX and Deus.

That’s awesome Joe! Great finds! Sorry about the one that got away. .but it’s waiting there for you. I would love to water hunt but our Southern California waves are brutal and I would just end up getting my butt kicked. Good luck my friend!

If you haven’t already purchased a detector I’d recommend the Equinox 600 over the Vanquish. Good luck in your choices!

Awesome job on the find and return of this gentleman’s ring!

Good job! Super nice looking Deck. How’s it been holding up?

Welcome to the forum from Southern California. Good luck!

Does the 340 really come with no coil cover? I wonder why they did that, the 540 has covers on it's coils.  You'd think they would want you to protect your coils to save from warranty claims, weird. 

I agree Simon. I believe one can void the warranty on the Deus Coil  if you use it without a cover.

Great write up abenson and very informative. I would definitely not compare the ORX/Deus in like manner to the Vanquish/Equinox configurations. The ORX is quite capable. I see you’ve already addressed that part though. Good luck!

I’d be interested in that info too.

Welcome to the forum CTK. Best of luck on the vintage equipment and good luck detecting.

Welcome to the forum Billy. Good luck!

Welcome aboard oro. Good luck!

Wow, great find, what did it ID at? I assume you were using the Nox?

Ok so I checked the TID out and it’s a solid 13 on all settings using the Nox. It weighs 8.27 grams.

58-60 but would default to 58 in most modes on the Deus.

Thanks, if you can wave it in front of the Nox one day that'd be handy, I'd like an idea of where something like that would fall.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Simon I didn’t look at the numbers because I was using the XP Deus in beach mode with the x/y screen graphic loaded.

The line in the x/y graphic went from the upper right quadrant down to the lower left quadrant. That indicated a good target so I dug and was rewarded. Any detector would of found it though. I was just very fortunate to have swung the coil over it.

RR,

I like the XP MI-6. I think it’s a great match for either the Deus or the ORX. A little more complicated than my Carrot to operate but all I need is some time with it. Good luck!

Thanks guys!

Was pounding sand at the local beach and at the end of my hunt I scored a beautiful Tiffany & Co. PT950 wedding band.

I’m super happy about this find. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to DP. Look forward to your contributions. Good luck and HH!
