Tekkna For The Deus 2, First Impression (updated 2)
JCR replied to F350Platinum's topic in XP Deus II Forum
I have watched quite a few videos the last six months or so from some of the Eastern European testers. They have a somewhat different approach than we in the USA because their conditions are also different. Their ancient habitation sites seem to have plenty of very small iron bits, but not a lot of whole nails or the farm & wagon iron we dig on relic sites. The desirable targets they search for seem to be much smaller and of lower conductivity than ours. Still, I have learned a lot from some of them and can use it for my sites. In very heavy nails, their approach is helpful to un mask good targets that are being drug down by the co located iron. I still have to decide how small/low I want to go, but today’s machines can pull some surprising targets. Picking through the iron with a smaller coil and/or faster separation is a different game for different conditions. I want to have the ability to set a machine up to hunt the conditions I have. I don’t need to reinvent the wheel. -
That’s quite an assortment of finds. Glad you were able to get out on some different beach.

The new Rutus Versa has 120 points also, divided up a little differently than previous models. It and my Whites MXT 180 point scale do a good job boxing in common Al trash. How a detector processes & normalizes the SMF signal is really the secret sauce on TID. The Nokta Legend only has 60 points, but has the most solid TID lock & accuracy out of all my detectors.

Sounds like termites swarming.

Look’s like a fine day afield. Pretty Narcissus. I hate gnats.

Welcome from East Texas.

Those a valid & correct observations. I have noticed no practical diminishment of sensitivity to the small targets I want to dig with the 13" coils I have from Nokta, Detech or Garrett. I know there is some on the smallest of targets, but anything smaller than a primer cap is not of much interest to me on Relic/coin sites. Fine jewelry/chains would be a different matter. I will try to post my observations on the 15" NEL Attack/Legend performance at some point.

I sent PayPal payment last night. NEL Attack 15X15. 14-21 days shipping. I hope it comes thru alright as I think it will give me some more depth for my mild ground sites. I have one spot(water sand) that has played out after many nice deep coins. I also have a new large permission dating to the mid 1830's that I doubt has ever been detected and should be mostly mild dirt. Many of the old areas would have been plowed in latter times. It is all improved pasture & woods now. The Nokta LG35 coil is excellent in every way & my experience with NEL coils is also excellent, so I am hopeful.

I will encourage you to read the Users Manual over & over. Garrett and Whites both give good descriptions of features that will make sense after you get wrapped around the unit.

What detector are you referring to?

Very nice. I really like the larger coils I have too.

Very good hunting. Maybe your spot with the cooking pits is part of the detached kitchen. Your lead coin could be a bag seal.- 23 replies

No Rattlesnakes but a few Copperheads. They’re prettier and not in as bad a mood.
