Same here connects 3/4 of time 1/4 fail requiring restarting mi6. I keep a mi4 with me when I have many targets cause I can leave it on- it turns off on its own but by then I’ve dug 2-3 targets and just keep turning it on. I leave it on and hold it under my left arm ( pit) where it won’t detect metal and is always ready for the next hole. 

They should replace for you at the price he’s getting for it. 

I just received another Deus 2 accessory- 3-d printed coil centering device for my 11” coil. After having swung the 11” only for the first 2 months and getting along fine, I can say it is a lighter feeling swing, maybe a bit easier on the wrist. It’s definitely noticeable and will help in long detecting runs. I wouldn’t even bother for the 9” coil but for the 11” I recommend it as it is a low cost helpful gadget. 

Thanks. Went back and WS6 decided to turn off on its own. I was able to update. All I need to do now is re-pair to remote and I’m set. 

It’s been a while but I finally got around to updating my original Deus 2 (my 9” 2nd machine was updated some time ago) and ran into a problem I seem to remember some having, where the remote update is done ok, but after powering down the WS6 doesn’t power down as it should, and no matter what buttons are pressed I can’t access the menu in order to update the WS6. The only buttons only adjust volume  and I can’t turn the WS6 off. Do I remember correctly that when this happens all you can do is wait for the power to deplete so they turn off, and then you can turn it on , access menu and finish the update?  
this seems to me the only option unless I’m missing something. ?

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.
