  1. He did a video about this. He says the depth hasn’t changed.
  2. I’m probably not being very clear. My point is that it’s not an official xp update yet until they announce it as 0.7. I’m wondering why they are letting owners download a “new” 0.6 version without it being a finalized version. I have not downloaded this partial update and won’t until xp sends out an email that the new 0.7 version is available to download. I can live with the small screen for now.
  3. In fact he calls the update the new “naught point seven” version.
  4. Did XP officially announce this update? I didn’t get an email from them. I think Gary Blackwell’s video is the closest thing to an official announcement. If I’m remembering correctly even he says the official update is not ready yet.
  5. Gary says something about full tones being more like deus1 after update.
  6. Me too. If the legend ends up performing as good as the nox I may just get one just for the build quality and selection of coils.
  7. Thanks! Yes, there is gold in this part of NC. I tried panning once in that stream and I also ran the nox in gold mode where the stream is undercutting the bank back in the woods but I didn’t find anything. I also really don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to finding gold.
  8. Thanks! I’ll just put that ring in my silver collection. I did some silver soldering many years in a metal smithing class I took as an art elective while in college. I don’t remember anything about how it’s done though.
  9. Yes it was. Just to the left of the little bridge in the pic below.
  10. The D2 is so versatile with all the programs and adjustments you can make to them. It’ll keep me busy on my limited number of sites that I have trying them all.
  11. The forecast for this weekend is very cold temps. When I got home from work yesterday the temp was in the low 60s so I figured I’d get an hour of practice with the D2 in my pounded yard. I was getting a few bullets and working my way back to the house when I get a nice, fainter sounding 85-86. I dig down about 7” and it’s a silver ring! I thought it might be a deep wheat or even a zinc penny. It’s marked: sterling-fspq. I was hunting in a custom park program.
  12. Paystreak (Jeremy) responded to my comment on his youtube channel. “I always run 0 Iron bias on nox. Bump it up to 3 in my hot soil and you will miss many deep targets. The Nox high tones on nails like the Simplex. Legend gives very few high tones on nails.” It will be interesting to see how the Legend responds after it gets the new iron bias update. You got to like Paystreak’s videos. The guy puts out an honest video. I’m
  13. In this video he mentions that the equinox falses a lot more on nails than the Legend. The legend that he’s testing has a preset iron bias which would keep the falsing to a minimum. I wonder if he runs his nox in zero iron bias? If he does, it definitely would false more than the legend. I’m wondering if both detectors had equivalent iron bias settings would his statement above still hold true?
  14. Great pics! Coins probably don’t sink much in the desert do they?
  15. I never thought about fitting in a backpack. Thanks for mentioning that as I may order the xp280 backpack sometime in the future. I noticed the xp stand has little bumps molded into the feet almost as if they made it so an accessory stand could snap onto it. Is that how yours attaches?
  16. Deus II owners: you all know the shortcomings of the stock arm cuff stand. Has anyone tried this?:
  17. That 5 cent piece is incredible! Congrats!!
  18. Right now Cal the biggest advantage for me over the nox is the ergonomics. Not only is the deus 2 light, it’s also very compact compared to the nox. As far as performance I’m almost positive if I had gotten my nox over any of those targets I dug today, it would have hit on them with good ID. Especially the two silver coins. I’m beginning to tune into the deus and one advantage I’m seeing over the nox is being able to tell an aluminum can top from a coin. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between the two even raising the coil using the nox. With the deus however when you raise the coil a coin fades out very quickly. I’m sure this is due to having the audio response setting on 4. So yeah, the deus has much, much better audio modulation. I still have a lot to learn about the audio nuances of the deus. The other day I was doing some air tests to hear the different tone pitches I had set up in a 5 tone program. I had a quarter, a nickel, a zinc penny, a rusty nail and I had also grabbed a lead pistol bullet. I noticed when I passed the bullet and the nickel over the coil they both rang up as 62 which means they both had the same tone pitch. However to my surprise they sounded quite different. The nickel sounded perfectly “clean” but the bullet didn’t. I tried passing the bullet over the coil while changing its position relative to the coil and the closet I could get it to sounding like the nickel was when I had the rounded point of the bullet facing directly at the coil. I guess this makes sense because the detector is seeing round. Now if I can only learn to pick up on those nuances in the field. Lol
  19. I’m jealous! Lol! Congrats on an awesome find!
