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 ...

The pb with these tests is that they only show how the detector reacts ON targets . But they forget the most important , how the detector reacts on the irons BETWEEN targets . And BETWEEN targets is where most of the detecting time is spent .. For example a Vanquish 540 has a better separation than a Deus1 on a static test with a coin + nail , I have done this test several times . But it is an other story when you use it in the field on an iron infested site , it is very noisy and unstable . Ok it will work on a target but it is difficult to use in the irons .. Then I agree with you colonelDan , air tests may be interesting but they are not the reality and you may have very different results between static air tests and in the field ...

Yea I remember he has posted during a short time here ...

Excellent video , a very good overview of the Quest new products . These guys are very innovative ..

Preorders only at the moment : https://www.maisondeladetection.com/100-detecteurs-quest

Same for me if it was not weighing 1,57kg ( vs 800g for my D2 ) ..

Same for me , the V80 seems to be a very good machine , but the D2 is much lighter and it wont replace my D2 at least for this reason ..
