The Deus2 is a good choice as you are a coin hunter , gold prospector and a beach hunter . Then you will certainly use it very often in NZ ... For me it is a little different , I am a coin/relic hunter I wont use the D2 gold and beach modes then the Deus1 is still an excellent performer for me . btw I did an outing yesterday evening in a field with it + 11X6 elliptical HF coil, it is a beast in irons and I have no plans to sell my D1 , I keep it ... 🙂 However I plan to order later a D2 Lite that I will use when I need more depth , when searching deep coins in woods or forests for example. Of course I will use it for iron infested sites too in addtion to the D1 HF Looking fwd for your reports with the Deus2 in NZ ... 🙂

thank you , update of my prev post done below : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exactly the Deus2 outperforms the competition regarding the weight/detection cumfort. Equinox 1.26kg , Legend 1,4kg ? , Deus2 0.75kg . And the D2 seems to be excellent in the iron trash too . Adding to this the 20m IP68 protection ... At least 3 good reasons to have a D2 ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🙂 🙂

I am not surprised by this , after the quality issues I have had with mine . It is a pity because it is a good detector and I like it despite these pbs .

Exactly the Deus2 outperforms the competition regarding the weight/detection cumfort. Equinox 1.26kg , Legend 1,4kg ? , Deus2 0.75kg . And the D2 seems to be excellent in the iron trash too . Adding to this the IP68 protection ... At least 3 good reasons to have a D2 ... The only downside I see for the D2 is the lack of a small coil like the Deus1 11X6 elliptical HF . But as XP has already the mold it wont be long before they release one for the D2 ...

Very interesting video. Just one thing , when searching with the Deus1 small/very small targets like small coins or the nugget of the video , users rather run 30k and not 14k as shown in the video . Then I think that the Deus1 will still be competitive vs the D2 for hunting small targets in low/medium mineralized soil (low or high iron trash).

I remember also having had an issue with a faulty USB charging cable . A new one solved the pb . Then to summarize I would check with the following priority order : 1) the USB charger 2) the USB cable 3) the coil itself ( to be done by the XP after service )

Yes perhaps a faulty USB charger , XP says in the manual that only certified chargers should be used . I already had a similar issue with a cheap charger , I had no more pb after using a certified one . Look also at the USB charger intensity output , minimum is 1A as indicated in the manual . I currently use a 2.4A output charger look at the pic below, it works very well . It is a pity that XP does not deliver a charger in the Deus/Orx packages btw ... 1) The Deus manual : Manual UK V5 2021 (xpmetaldetectors.com) , page 28 2) My USB charger / ROHS certified :

Nice video thx . An interesting thing , it is confirmed that there will soon be more affordable versions of the Deus2 : - Deus2 RC : coil + shaft + RC ( at around 1200e/$ ? ) - Deus2 WS6 MASTER : coil + shaft +WS6 wireless headphones , ( at around 900e/$ ? )

I’m putting my money on the SQUARE audio ... 🙂🙂 I think that it will be more stable than the PWM because it has more digital filtering which should eliminate the random noise ... To be confirmed in the field

Interesting video however I am curious to see what would have been the results with the SQUARE audio , which is not tested here

Look at the video at 19:05 , magus says that he did a depth test with a Deus2 on a coin at 30cm ( 12inches ) in salt water saturated sand and the Deus2 hits the coin . From my own bed tests the Equinox has similar depth results ( 30i on a coin )

Excellent video , I know magus, this guy is serious and very experimented . And he is a beach specialist . 100 coins found during this outing ... His conclusion : the Deus2 is a very good beach detector . Very good news for the beach hunters ... 🙂 🙂

For info they are already selling Deus2 parts separately over here . The Deus2 RC at 750e. At the moment they still dont sell Deus2 coils separately but they will probably do it very soon . I plan to buy a Deus2 RC (750e ) plus a Deus2 9" coil ( 400e? ) , total 1150e , instead of 1600e for the full version. I already have a Deus shaft . I dont need wireless headphones as long as I have the RC. I will use my Deus2 with wired headphones connected to the RC , with the RC at the belt or in my pocket Accessoires XP DEUS 2 FMF (maisondeladetection.com)

Looks like there will be a Deus2 "Lite" version - watch the following video starting from 8.04

No it is not a pb . You just need to be careful when you put the clip on the coil + cover , and check that the charging led is activated thats all . And yes the butterfly clip is a little fragile and may break after a few years but it is a cheap component very easy to replace. If there was a major issue with this charging system XP would have changed it , so nothing to worry about to my opinion ..

I like this video , the first time that I hear the Deus2 sounds in the field . For me the most interesting part of the video is at 7.17 when hearing the Deus2 tones . The SQUARE fluty tones are fast , faster than the ones you get with the australian brand to my opinion . I like them because there are softer than the PWM ( or Deus1 ) "classical" tones. Yes I know I should not compare the Deus2 with an other brand in the XP forum , but I couldnt resist ... 🙂 🙂

Vanquish - lower shaft : polymer - mid shaft : aluminium - control box + handle = plastic - rear shaft : aluminium - arm rest : plastic

I just watched the video. Excellent and professional . It is confirmed that a Deus2 "lite" version will be available , called Deus2 WS6 Master. Look at the end of the video at 8:20 . I dont know why they didnt simply called it Deus2 Lite btw ... I could be interested by this version as it will be cheaper than the full version as I dont really need the control box for my kind of hunting ...

I have just read the manual , I am very impressed by the documentation quality and the Deus2 features . Very professional

Not ahead of the game in terms of lightness . A Rutus Atrex weights 1,6kg from what I have read in this forum . This is more than twice a Deus ( 750/800g with the CB in the pocket ). More than an Apex at 1.2kg. It is a pity because I like the Atrex audio even I ve never used one . If they want to sell more detectors they should pay attention to this ergonomy aspect and lighten their machines .

Yes it looks like they have a bright economist at the head of Turkey with Erdogan ... 🙂 🙂 ... Oops am going off topic .. 🙂 ✌️

Nice job , and I am sure you will see the difference in the field .... I will try that thx

I am 6' and I would prefer one more inch on the cuff too ... I plan to make an home made rod so that I have exactly what I need/want ...

Good news ... At least the Deus2 will not be tested by a newbie .... 🙂 🙂 Looking fwd for the reports thx ✌️👍...

Same for me , I like those sounds
