You can go to the XP website and look at the deus II manual. It will tell you all about programs and frequencies.

I like hunting in full tones anyways so I’ll give this new update a try. If it doesn’t work out I guess I can roll back to 0.6.

Here’s a video showing full tones with correct id verses the other tone options:

I did the update. First update for me as I didn’t do the .6 big number update. A couple of things: if you’re new to the deus update, after the download follow the icons on the screen in order. Don’t plug into the usb port until it tells you to! After two tries I figured that out. Lol. The other thing is that my ws6 module somehow became unpaired and I couldn’t get it to pair back up. I finally did get it paired by doing it manually through options. I haven’t actually tried the .7 update out yet but hopefully I will tomorrow. For now both the remote and ws6 puck say v0.7.

Those are some great finds! I’ve been using both sensitive and sensitive ft modes and like the way they work in polluted areas. The only changes I make are changing program 2 to full tones also. Program 3 with no disc is noisy, but seems to lock on to good targets. When all those tones get to be too much I’ll just switch to program 2. I also vary the reactivity on both programs depending on how polluted the area is that I’m detecting.

I don’t care for the square tones either. Still got my nox for that! Lol. I really like those squeaky pwm full tones though. Really makes a good target stand out!

Nice ring! Congrats!

I’ll most likely be here often with shotgun headstamps and bullets!

Congrats on the silver! I’m still looking for my first seated coin.

Nice finds! I’ve only found one CW era bullet. Just wasn’t much CW activity around here in Western NC. You’re right about those faint whispers on the d2. Much better audio modulation than the nox.

You’re correct in that the coil ears not being center mounted or in other words, not being mounted at the center of gravity of the coil, will put torque on the coil ears. The friction force of water will exacerbate this torque. However, using a centering device will only put even more torque on those cool ears whether in or out of the water. Think of using a cheater bar on frozen nut. Here’s a pic of a centering device made by a guy on the friendly forum. That red piece of plastic is basically a moment arm and unless it’s attached to the coil close to where the shaft attaches to it, (and it doesn’t look like it does), it increases the stress through increased torque on the coil ears. Think of swinging that coil with an exaggerated centering device that’s two feet long and how much stress that would put on the coil ears. Maybe we have a mechanical engineer here on the forum who can weigh in on this and explain it better.

If it looks like a crack, feels like a crack and leaks like a crack, then you might have a crack! Lol! I wish I’d seen this thread before I saw the “oh the sky is falling” posts over on the friendly forum. Would have saved me some time from posting why I don’t think it’s a crack. It doesn’t even look like a crack to me. Some of the naysayers don’t even own a deus II.

Just looking at the pics of the centering devices, it looks to me like it would introduce rotational torque on the coil ears which could eventually fatigue and crack them. Or maybe the centering device material has enough flex that it “takes up” some of that torque force.

Nice write up! I also like programs 2 and 3.

Congrats on a nice bunch of finds!

We all have days like that but it’s better than staying home and NOT detecting! Lol!

This morning I decided to hit a park the next town over. I’ve been there twice before, but never got much. Today was no different. $1.94 in clad and lots of junk. On my way home I stopped at my old house permission to see if I could eek out anything good. First up was part of a silver bracelet. It’s nice and chunky weighing in at 16.5 grams. No marks on the piece I got but it’s silver. Shortly afterwards I got a big signal going up into the low 90s with some iron grunt. About six inches down I pull out what looked like a lock but it didn’t have a key hole. After getting home and cleaning it off it’s an old Edwards Mfg Co No Key lock! What I thought were rivets around the perimeter are little buttons you can still push to one side or the other to set the combination. I lubed it up and the buttons work. I’m still reading up on this thing and did find a youtube video of how to figure out the combination, but I’ll have to watch it again as I didn’t follow everything the guy was saying. Apparently the buttons also rotate and have three equally spaced, very small hash marks that line up with a hash mark on the lock body. If anyone is familiar with how to open one of these please, by all means let me know. Lol.

Congrats on a unique historical find!

Congrats on the sterling! I prefer to dig silver rings marked sterling. They’re usually older than rings with the 925 markings. Nice ring!

Nice SLQ! It looks like it has a readable date but I can’t make it out.

Nice, unusual find! Congrats!

Bob, your finds were really good with the 3 war nickels and the rest but that new permission has me really jealous! Lol. I am eagerly awaiting all the great stuff that’s going to come out of that place! Oh, and we must be close in age…never saw Styx, but did see Journey and Rush and others in that era.

Great finds! Congrats on that dime too! From what I’ve read and watched in videos and the fact that XP hasn’t given any official notice to update from the 1/13 version, I personally am not going to update. I’ll wait until they come out with version 0.7 with an official announcement. And I may just wait and see how that version works before I update.

Congrats on your new machine! If the sites you’re hunting have a lot of targets you may want to give program 2, sensitive or program 3, sensitive ft a try. The full tones option really makes the higher conductors stand out for me. Good luck!

Nice bunch of finds! Is that service button civil war era? It looks like the D2 is working out for you. I’m really liking mine. It’s just a fun machine to use. Is that a predator phoenix shovel you’re using?
