Excellent video and excellent finds. I envy you with so much history below your feet. Here in the US, we're lucky to find anything metal 100-200 years old. 😎 

Thank you mate! Still history though... And i know how hard it is to find those targets back there! 🍻

Great video!   This is exactly the kind of tests I like to see!  Wild digs, side by side comparisons really show the strengths and weaknesses between the detectors.  In this case it shows the strengths of the deus II.  Btw, Jackie really livens up the video!  He’s a star!

Thank you mate! Had alot of people asking for this... This Dēus II is really something else! Jackie is a she, Jackie Danielle! (Yup from the Jack Daniels) 🍻

What exactly will the D2 do that the Equinox 800 won't?  Specifically. I dont tend to watch youtube videos that have commenting turned off, so please indulge me here with what is so magical about the new Xp. I know it still requires an antenna to submerge the coil if you arent diving with it, which most people won't be doing. 

I know my Equinox 800 very well. No comments turn off. 

The results

Thx that was a great demonstration and it has enhanced my appreciation of what tone breaks can do. Very interesting and I will be testing this out in the UK. I feel I will find more hammered coins in soft plough and mineralised ground using a minus 1 tone break. 

Thank you mate!  Bare in mind that this will make you dig coke.  Good luck and a happy 2022!

Good video!   I only heard your dog growling when you were using the equinox!   He’s moved on to the deus II.  Lol

Bahahahahha🤣

I'd love to see anything more you have available for the Nox. Good stuff!

I mostly use Facebook groups mate...

Very good informative presentation. Same principals hold for any VLF detector.

Thanks,

Thank you mate! Best of luck on the fields

This would be great info for the Equinox section.

Wasn't sure about the section... cheers mate

Coke was a big problem on the Dēus 1... The XY screen on deep coke and mineralized soils was very unreliable...

This is amazing!

Thx for the video , the D2 signals on targets are for me significantly cleaner than the Equinox ones .  Curious to see what a Deus1 Hf set at 30khz would have done on this test btw ... I believe that the D2 main competitor could be the D1 rather than the Equinox in the irons ... Just my opinion 

The thing is, with the Dēus II, we have the ability of the previous coils into 1 machine! Bare in mind that i was using the preset settings (Reactivity 3) and the Nox was running lvl 8 recovery speed! There is so much that could had been adjusted on the Deus II.  

Before starting recording and while covering the hole, i thought i had seen something orange falling inside the hole, but i wasn't sure... so after covering the hole, i went to try and see if i could pickup the signal from the coin at 31cm... I couldn't... and there was a iron tone on my nox... I didn't think that was normal because at that depth and on that type of soil the nox was supposed to have a iffy signal! So we uncovered the hole to see if anything had fallen inside...  Oh crap!! A mineralized pottery fragment...  and then, i had an idea... You will have to see it to believe it.

A roman iron slag from smelting. Very highly mineralized! Some information about these bad things: https://glevumdetecting.com/history/roman_iron_making.htm

Back here we have some good areas full of these things!

Hey wassup guys! Hope y'all doing great! Finally managed some time to record a little nail test to backup Calabash test! (I'm from Europe)                  I used 2 fresh rusty medieval nails, 1 small silver hammered coin and 1 small ancient gold coin. The soil is mineralized.  Let me remind y'all that i was using the max recovery speed on my Equinox...    

Sorry for my English!

I've heard Coiltek is going to make the 14x9 coil lighter. I'm interested in that one but if it's to heavy then I'll pass on it.

You probably heard from youtube... I saw a video from a guy wearing a Minelab cap saying that... if i remember correctly,  on his background he had some look like pink curtains...  it's not true.

Great review ghostlands, great finds, do you have a source for the Flexbump stuff?

Cheers

I just invited the creator to the forum!

Thank you mate!

   Thanks for the test drive report! And what an awesome group of finds!

   I have seen several people state on the forum that this particular coil is heavier due to it being made more for water hunting! But I'm sure Coiltek, and others, have the ability to use lighter resin fillings, as they become available!👍👍

   

Thank you mate!

Someone told me exactly the same! The 15 round is lighter...

You "Euros" have such great history to find. 🙂 That's quite a haul! Guess that coil is quite a beast. Congratulations!
