Nice rigs by the way. 👍

I purchased my D2 about a year ago and have just left the charge mains and USB base either plugged into the wall or next to that outlet. I went to charge my detector the other day and found one of my family members had taken the USB base!

 

I vaguely recall the original instructions mentioning all of the markings which needed to be on a proper base to charge XP equipment.  So I have always considered the original base as dedicated for my detector.  Problem is I never paid attention to it after I got it so I don’t remember what it looked like.  

 

Could somebody please post a picture of what their charging base looks like? Also does anyone know whether a standard USB plug-in will work for a charger base for XP equipment?

 

I have attached a picture of the only loose unknown base I have found. I don’t remember it being white and it doesn’t look like the pictures on the XP website. But, I don’t know if all the units are shipped with the black base shown on the XP website.

 

I am just afraid of frying my equipment if I use the wrong charger. So any help is greatly appreciated!

Here you go

Well, I went ahead and got another D2 with both the 9” and 13”x11” coils.  I opted for the package that included the wasii headphones instead of the ws6.  I’m glad too.  The wsaii’s are not only lighter, but less expensive.  I never used the ws6 as the master on my first D2 so the wsaii made more sense for me.  Here’s a pic of my old rig on the left that I’ll use mainly for water hunting. As you can see I bought the RCDIGS remote holder for this set up.  I also got a really well made stand for the new stem on ebay.  Here’s a close up of it:I just went out to my single coin coin garden😂. I have a silver dime that I buried maybe two years ago and at that time it was exactly 8” deep.  I just ran through every stock program and man oh man is that 13x11 ever deep”.  In every program except fast40 I could still hit that dime with coil raised around 4” off the ground.  In the beach mode it was hitting it with the coil about 6” off the ground!   Gold and relic were really close to that.  All with good ID’s too!   I only spent about 3 or 4 minutes testing this out, but I’m impressed!   Also that big coil is not nearly as nose heavy or hard to swing as I thought it would be.  In fact it’s not bad at all!

Hey NC,

For one thing you need to be using the short USB cord that has only one of that connector. I get that message too, heck my laptop is on Windows 11, but the program kicks in when I've gone through all the steps.

There other hard thing is the steps to get the WSA II ready, it's very specific. You have to get it to where the light is on steady.

Some older laptops have USB 1 2 or 3 USB ports, make sure the one you are using is black or blue.

Use the blue one. 🙂 Even if I get that message the program will connect, I don't think it cares. 😀

Then get out there and try Tekkna 🤣

I got it!!!   What threw me off was thisI kept waiting for the connect box to light up without realizing I had to click on the “xp deus2” first to enable the blue connect box!   Duh!🙄 

All is well now in my world!  Thanks for all your help!!

yes I’m using the short cord and pressing the minus button first then plus button and holding for 12 seconds until light goes steady.  Here’s my two usb portsI’ll try again later this afternoon. Thanks again!

Yes NC, they need to be updated. First make sure what version the  RC is, unpair anything that is paired with the wireless headphone icon (if needed), update them to that version, and then go through the pairing process again if needed. 

Congrats on your new toys! 

Thanks Bob

maybe you can help me out.  I just tried updating and when I plug the usb cord into my laptop I get thisI’ve tried over and over to the point where I just want to get a new laptop because mine’s old and slow.  However when I updated my old remote and ws6 a couple of months ago I had no problems.  Do you know a fix for this?   I remember you saying you were an IT guy?   So that’s why I’m asking you.  I’m not too good at this stuff.  
thanks

Thanks guys!   I didn’t realize the wsaii’s needed updated.  I’ll try updating them today.  The remote has the latest update (2.0) and I just figured everything would work.  

I just received my second D2 but I got the package that just comes with the wsaii phones (no ws6 puck, but new remote, stem and coil).  The phones will play the start up jingle whether I do the automatic pairing or the manual pairing and I can hear the beeps when changing the volume using the buttons on the headphones but when using the remote to change the volume I don’t hear anything.  Also when I turn the remote off I do not hear the “turning off” jingle and the light on the wasii continues to blink meaning it’s still on.  Also when I wave a coin over the coil I see the correct numbers but hear no sound at all with volume at 7 or any other setting.  
 

Just to check the new remote, I successfully paired my old ws6 puck and it works as normal and turns on and off with the remote as it should.  And I also tried pairing the new wsaii’s with my old remote with the same result as when trying to pair to the new remote.  

One other thing:   In the manual under Automatic pairing it says hold the minus button down for 2 seconds and if doing it manually hold it for 8 seconds.   In both cases I hear the startup jingle almost immediately and if I continue to hold for the full 8 seconds I get this on the screen:

Any ideas?  Btw, I got both the 9” and the 13x11 coil with the new remote and the wsaii’s don’t work with either coil paired to the remote.  Thanks for any help!

That place looks like it would swallow you up quicker than a burger at my dog's nose.

Excellent analogy and so true!   That stuff is really soft clay.  Your foot sinks in 6 or 8 inches and it requires a lot of effort to get it out!

Wow, a flying eagle and a sitting eagle!   Congrats on not only some great finds but a great site!

Go for the gold. It has to be there NC.

You know it and I know it!   I’m going to try again this weekend.  

Probably why I’m reluctant to part with my nox800 with the 6” round coil.

Wow NC!

Now that's a "Hell Yeah" place if I ever saw one, congrats on taking the opportunity! 🏆 Did your coworkers see you out there? 😅

I hope the weather holds out for more. There's gotta be some gold in there 🤔

If you're not in your 60s yet just wait, unless you keep working out the leg cramps will get ya, get some Bragg Apple cider Vinegar on hand at that point, a capful or two in 4 ounces of water will taste like crap but cures them instantly. 🙄

I’ll be 61 in a few days.  Thanks for the recommendation on the Braggs.  I’ll give it a try. 

I’d think I was in detector heaven if I found any one of those coins.  Way to go George!

Wow!   That button is incredible!!

Hell yeah Bob!   Any 1700’s silver is impressive!!  

I say gold also.  If that inscription from ‘93 is engraved you would have corrosion on those letters and numbers.  

I’m thinking of getting another D2 package.  I’d like to keep the one I have now set up for water hunting.  Then I’d like to get a new setup just for land hunting with 9” coil, shaft, remote and wsa2 headphones.  I’m also thinking of getting the 13” coil to add to that package.  I have never used the puck in place of the remote so I don’t need or want that…just want the remote. Anyone else have separate setups for land and water hunting?   I’ll probably pull the trigger on this in late spring/early summer.

My pleasure, NC. 🙂 We only got a dusting today, and last week's snow is all gone, benefit of being surrounded by water I think. Does NC have a lot of snow or frozen ground? Next week it will be in the 50s here.

No snow where I’m at, but getting down to 10 degrees tomorrow morning.  Gonna warm up next week here too.  Looking forward to your next hunt!

That’s a Big piece of history!   Congrats on all the great finds and letting me tag along vicariously.  

Damn son!  You’re making me jealous 🤔
