Hi George- interesting post although I’m not sure I understand your point. In any case, I couldn’t agree more.   I’m going to put my skills and the Deus 2 to the test as I’ve finally figured out the location of a summer “clam bake” amusement park and dancing resort that between 1880 and shortly after 1900 was the vacation spot for thousands from NYC. It became a lumber yard until about 1920 and since then returned to nature. No idea if it’s ever been detected but I hope to soon find out.  Any suggestions as to which programs?  My favorite so far is 3-sensitive FT but I’ve been trying to get accustomed to 4-Fast -pitch but I’m not at all proficient in it. Can you recommend any? The ground is mild , forested and extremely iron-laden.there is a creek that ruins through the location. 
BTW, I hope a chicken hawk answers your knock. 

I thought it was secure but on closer examination the remote wasn’t on shoe all the way due to the rough 3-d print edges, but it is now. Take care that it’s on flush and all the way. Yup

Installed one on my 9” unit and seems secure. It does have a crude finish but if it holds my remote in place I can overlook that. Found my 2nd and 3rd silver ( both Barber dimes ) enjoying my Deus 2

If you cut the coil cover around where the charge clip goes it is much easier to connect the charge clip. I used a razor but you could use a dremel or even a file to trim it.    

If anyone gets the 13” probably should get a coil centering mount to save your wrist 

I’m in the 9” coil camp as well. I have both and favor the 9” by far, but still want the 11” coil. I’ll be selling the 11” Deus and just buying the coil when it’s possible to get coils separately. 

I’m all for homemade wherever possible. I bought a pair of black spongy material yoga elbow pads that I cut into handle stop. Was easy to cut and fit  and works and looks fine. 

Neoprene is easy to get and very easy to sew by hand with needle and thread. That’s what I might do if I really want a cover. Maybe red ?  

While I haven’t spent much time detecting since updating to V .71 the detecting I did was enough to satisfy myself all is good. I’m ready to do my other unit as soon as I get the chance ( I’m using a laptop at my job). 

You sir are brave for your self repair. Glad it worked for you. 

Like just coils just not a priority until backlog of preorders is fulfilled. When coils are finally available, I’ll buy one and then sell the 2nd detector. I think separate parts will start being sold mid-late summer but it’s a guess.

These kinds of bugs popping up from one update to the next is getting under my skin and the reason I haven’t updated my Deus 2 since I got it. Some issues are minor annoyances and some are major pains in the ass. Either way I want no part of it. Hopefully a nice clean update will be forthcoming as I do like some of the new features. Get it together XP. You’re a top tier manufacturer now.

I waited a long time before doing any updates due to the myriad problems but finally did V .71 on the 9” machine I just got and having satisfied myself it’s good, I’ll do the 11” machine this week. I haven’t noticed any performance problems with my Mi6 when paired and it definitely connects better since the update ( like XP states in listing the features in the latest update).I’ll sell one unit when I can get a coil separately but as long as I have it I’ll be doing updates first on one detector. 

I agree yours does not seem to be working right. 

If I see no reason not to I plan on updating my other Deus 2 ( with 11” coil) from 0.6 to 0.71 because it’s pretty obviously better. I’m happy to have the 2nd Deus because it’s the only way to have both 11” an 9” coils, but once coils are available alone I’ll almost certainly sell one of the units. It’s too costly to have as a backup only. 

I’m using V 0.71 and everything seems fine. No problem hitting deep targets. I’ve only used sensitive full tones since update and noticed the tones are better than 0.6. Mi6 connects much faster now is another thing I noticed. 

As I just got a second deus2 ( this one 9”)

I went ahead and did 0.71 on the 9” one if everything seems ok I’ll do the other next week. I had no problem with the update. 

Did the update today- went well - had no problems just had to re-pair the WS6 since I was updating from V0.6  

  I’ll have a chance to try it this afternoon .  The whole weekend looks good for detecting in fact.  

I’m not risking it until posts like yours stop happening. I’ve heard of it freezing on and one other that won’t turn on like yours. He sent his remote in and will report on his return experience. 
good luck 

This is a fascinating thread to follow. 

I’m ready to update from 0,6 to V 0.7. I’m going to do one unit and leave the other at 0.6 for time being which will enable me to make comparisons directly.

Upgraded my coil only order to Deus 2 9” coil package at the discount I requested and effective January 2 order date. Friday ( 3 days after placing order) I got the tracking number and will have by Wednesday. I certainly never planned to have two D2’s but will have now. I could keep both, or perhaps sell one of the remotes , or even sell the full 11”  package-but after using the 11” coil I definitely do want it for fields and large open spaces.
 

Right I wouldn’t worry about it, I’ve had my card linked in eBay for years with no problems whatsoever. Also, when I sell something eBay sends payout ( minus fees) directly to account. 

I wish the D2 was like an iPhone , plug in to charge and automatically via WiFi updates all on its own. No? Too bad

9" coil packages are already being sold in the U.S.

I think that prediction is way over-blowen. Unless Deus runs into coil failures or ear breakage. 

Can you tell me at what dealers? (via PM if you don’t want to say openly) I ordered my spare coil on January 2. 

I can’t believe I’m even considering it but if my dealer agrees to keep my place in shipping queue for 9” coil, I may upgrade order to complete Deus 2 w/9” coil which is obviously more $ but I’d receive in few weeks max. As I got rid of all my other detectors having 2 Deus II’s (9” and 11”) doesn’t seem too overkill as I’d then have backup if anything fails,  as well as more total run time w/o needing to recharge if I ever need that. Also extra custom programs slots. Waiting to hear back from my dealer guy. Heard stand alone coils might not hit the dealers until the fall- a big reason I’m considering this option.
