I never rely on separation static tests , because they are not reliable for me . As I already said the results from the field can be opposite from the static home test results . For example a Vanquish is better than a Deus on the separation test I did at home , where it is obvious that a Deus ( 1 or 2 ) outperforms a Vanquish in the irons in the field . Long story short I only trust field tests for separation assessments .. At least 10 or 20 hours in the field , then not only a 2mns video in a kitchen ... 🙂 I havent done the V1.0 update btw , too busy at work for the moment ... I will post my results as soon as I have them

Personnaly I would never pay for a detector software update, whatever the brand . Not only because of the money , but because of the risks of being hacked . It is always risky to give bank accounts infos to a site . Only Amazon and Microsoft have mine ...

May be you should apply at XP for an IT tech job Simon , looks like they need one ... 🙂

I found a link on the V1.0 contents but it has been removed , it looks like XP is doing changes on their web site at the moment ... I will look at it tomorrow as it is not stable now

I have the 2021 "old" 🙂 version . My favorite pinpointer by far too, a great design by quest , thanks to them ..

Here is the 108th infantry regiment eagle from the Waterloo battle ( 1815 ), unfortunately I dont have its dimensions . Your eagle from Smolensk could be a 1812 artifact but it is too small to be a regiment eagle I think ..

Yes perhaps a 1812 Napoleon army relic . A regiment eagle ? Anyway it is older than WW2 to my opinion .

Welcome to the forum Borja .. There are a few galleon wrecks at Vigo if I remember well , it looks like to be the right place to find a few 4 escudos gold coins ... 🙂

Beautiful pictures as usual ... Thanks F350 ...

I dont have a 900 but I did notice in the past that it sometimes needs several months and even more than a year to correctly assess a detector . Drawing conclusions after only 10 or 20 hours is risky even if tempting as there is a strong demand for tests and reports when a new detector is released ... I often made this error in the past , I am much more careful now ... 🙂 100 hours testing like you did is the right way to do the job , and there are very few people to do that. Thanks for your report ...

You dont have to worry about the battery level or voltage or anything else when charging .Just plug the connectors and wait before the coil or/and the CB or headphones are full . Personally I use XP wireless detectors since 2013 and I have never looked at any voltage info or whatever . Sometimes I just charge my Deus during half an hour or one hour , it is not fully charged and this has never caused an issue in the field ..

Beautiful pics , thanks Simon ...

Congrats for this splendid coin ... Which detector were you using ?

I never use home separation tests because they often lead to wrong conclusions ... Why ? Because an iron infested soil is a 3D structure much more complex than a coin and a nail set down on the ground . When I have a assess to new detector , I always spend a few hours in the field , in iron infested places that I know very well so that I can quickly see how the detector works vs the previous ones ... Concerning the videos , the pb is that you dont know the guys who are doing them . Even a newbie can do a youtube video and draw conclusions , often wrong ... Smaller coils have better separation than bigger ones , and not the opposite as stated by this guy ... At least on this forum you have very experimented people who can help to take the good decision .. The right place for the right choice ... 🙂

Personally I didnt notice a depth outperformance between the 22 and 28 , just a slight improvement may be 2cms on a 10g coin at 30cm depth . Summary : 28 : - slightly deeper than the 22 on big targets in clean soils - a pinpointer is required 22 : - much lighter than the 28 (350g instead of 420) - more accurate - much better in the irons - more compact then easier to put in a rucksack Odin , these are the 4 reasons why I use the 22 , personally loosing 2cms on big coins is not a big deal vs the 22 advantages 🙂 ...

yes 22 and 28cm , there is even a bigger 34X28cm coil but this one is not for me lol🙂 .. . Look at Accessories | XP METAL DETECTORS for the detailed infos ...

I have tested the 28 for a French shop ( Chateau Numis ) a year ago . Look at my report at Test XP DEUS 2 28FMF en terres intérieures (metaux-detection.fr) , its in French I hope you can translate it using google ... Long story short the test was very positive , except that the 28 is too front heavy for me as I like light machines . And a pinpointer is required as it is quite difficult to center the targets with such a big coil.. Then I preferred to wait for the 22 before buying a D2 . It was a good decision the 22 is the perfect coil for me .. For me the 22 is a must have for inland hunters you cant go wrong with it . The 28 is more dedicated to beach hunters or clean inland areas I think ...

You are lucky , I did receive a new coil from the Garrett European after service but they never replaced the CB which I believe was faulty too . Eventually as I was very disappointed by the detector I sold what I could . I sold the coil as it was brand new and seemed to be ok and the Z lynk wireless headphones (which are excellent ) . And the CB went to the recycling bin , as I didnt want to sell a probable faulty component to an other user ... End of the story ..

Yes 1300E is a good price . Over here the same config is proposed at 1600E . XP DEUS II Pack 28FMFRCWS6 - metaux-detection.fr Just personally I prefer the 22cm coil , the 28cm is much heavier than the 22 ( 420 vs 330g ) , and the 22 is much more accurate and easier to use in the irons than the 28. These 2 coils are very different , the 28 is more a specialized coil for depth in clean areas while the 22 is much more polyvalent with almost he same depth than the 28 ...

The Deus2 goes deeper than the D1 because of its multifrequency , especially on big coins at depth. Then my choice would be the D2 . If you dont need a control box the D2 WS6 Master at around 800E is an excellent and affordable choice .

Actually I have never had so many issues with a detector since I detect ( 1998 ) . And there are very few users using an Apex in this forum . Two reasons why I am not ready to try a second test ...

Quest Xpointer Max for me too ... Lithium battery , digital display , iron discrimination ... For me it outperforms the competitors for these 3 reasons . An excellent choice for inland relic/coin hunting

Personally I have had a lot of issues with the Apex . Faulty coil , instable electronics , coil connector very difficult to connect/disconnect . Perhaps because it was one of the first released units and perhaps these pbs have been fixed now , I hope so .. If other forum members know about such fixes I would be interested because there is no communication from Garrett about this .. Nothing

Weird , the coil which has the most advantages ( the 9" : 5 positive points ) is the one which is the less used in this forum .. Except me and an other one lol 🙂...

Mu My dealer in France has the same issue , for example several customers have preordered a Manticore and they are still waiting for it .. ML does the manufacturing in Asia , perhaps this was not the right choice ...
