Your ranges will expand in real conditions. The Deus throws numbers of tabs and gold all over the place. In my location because it is rough, I have lots of tabs missing some metal. These could come in low as 56. Also have had tabs go to 68. One is kidding themselves if they can block out any sort of tabs with the Deus 2 and not miss plenty of gold. With the Equinox tabs were a 13-14 for 97% of them, THAT I could live with. The Deus 2 can even come close to this comparison.

Yes. So I had the lowest bin set to a lower kHz, I think 205kHz. [no pitch] I did not run -6.4 a lot. In testing it gave me the appearance that deep targets were muted more. [not crisp] It did seem to handle black sand conditions better and iron some. However, those iron targets that wanted to wrap-around still seemed to do that. Since I am using the 9" coil it made me concerned, I might miss some of those muted deep targets and just think they were blips or ticks. One has to watch their swing speed with the 9" coil. With the new update it would be worth it to investigate this style some more.

To be honest. In .71 a disc. of -6.4 really made iron quiet on the beach too.

You could always turn the iron volume up some from the factory setting. Myself, I would rather never hear iron again. If I want to hear something, turning the sensitivity up to hear slight falsing would suit me.

Is that not a good thing?

The only way I can connect my headphones is in bone phone mode. Volume at 3. Anything else would blow my ears off. My tones are all different by what I select. But I will compare with the speaker when I get back on the machine.

I did not wire it. Tony Eisenhower did.

I am on the bone phone connection. However, there is 3 distinct different tones when the machine is in Pitch, Square and PWM. I never really compared it to the speaker, but I can next time!

I do and the PWM and Square tones would work in the old software. How are his wired? My are wired to the bone phones output.

Was solid at the beach!

Waiting For Version 1.1 Do not hold your breath!

Great hunt!!!! Glad it seems to clean up some of those iron targets.

It does give the appearance that the issues I have with Iron wrap and choppy signals at depth might be better. However, it will be 6-7 months till I am back on that D2. I have to see what other moderate black sand beach hunters think.

Ya, those ole corded headphones look better and better every day!

I don't know. There are other hunters that have experienced numbers of all kinds with gold and the Deus2. I have not acid tested it but it looks real to me. Probably the added silver to make white gold? What is 10k white gold mixed with? White gold is generally alloyed with silver and/or palladium. A common composition for 10 karat white gold is 41.7 percent gold, 47.4 percent silver, 10 percent palladium, and 0.9 percent zinc.Dec 6, 2022

Wait till you buy a Deus2 and a big white gold 10K chunk rings in at 98.

YET>>>there are new machines produced today that cannot do this.

Second off>> Not all thresholds are created equal. Not many machines work like a Sovereign GT. It will take some experimentation regardless of the machine!

I remember when the designer of this machine was touting it on the forums. He CLEARLY stated that he had two advanced platforms above what the first Impulse was to be. Anything other than an entire new platform will be a disaster. I suspect this is already a disaster.

Nice HONKER!!! Question> Equinox correct? Can you not tell those stakes are ferrous?

Thinking>>> Maybe in this digital age the MFG's should give us downloadable scale options? Pick 50 or 100 scale! Can not be that hard to program? The Deus 2 100 scale does not impress me.

Does not matter what type of ground or water I am standing on. NEVER going to pump my coil to tell me what is in the ground.

Larger coils are more sensitive to EMI and mineralization. In my experience I have to run a point or two less sensitivity as compared to a smaller coil. To see if it is EMI keep your coil several feet off the ground and see if it is still noisy. If not, then minerals are the problem. Experiment with different IB and recovery speeds. Also try different detection modes. A recovery and Iron Bias of 6 each might get you some more sensitivity.

Looks like a nice scoop! But, a scoop at 5" requires good pinpointing, especially in the wave wash. I know this would be too small for me.

Humm. I am wired with headphones through the bonephone connection. Thought I have tone differences between PWM and Full Tones???? But I am running speakers......not piezo speakers.
