Sony makes the best noise cancelling headphones....no not for water hunting but wet sand yes!!!

Sorry but I don't know beaches your hunting but I am getting 4-6 inches more depth on my D2 compared to my buddy's Equinox. I have pulled wedding bands at 18 inches. I have hunted a beach where there was 3 Equinox users they were not finding nothing while I was digging my butt off. Reason because everything was at the point of detection depth. I dug over 120 holes that day found both the wedding ring and engagement ring plus a gold earring. I had a Equinox 800 I knew it inside out matter in fact I was the first one in the state of SC to get one learned the machine in a few days. The Deus 2 for me was nothing to learn I am into tech in a big way(second hobby). The deepest beach setting is fulltones or a 2 tone program. YES!!! Ever beach is different. The beaches I hunt EMI is a killer because of the cellphone towers and then you have WiFi boosters on the condos and Beach houses drives the Equinox crazy and also the Deus 2. The D2 you can switch over the to regular beach program that usually helps with the chatter from the EMI. Now comparing targets me and my buddy did this for a month long. I ID quarters on the D2 in the 90's while he was getting -2-4-5 sometimes a 21 or 27. The quarters roughly 12-16 inches deep. Remember Minelab had to do a update because of quarters they would ring up in the negatives. That was the first update. Another thing is the Equinox has a software issues with gold pendants with holes. Sometimes the Equinox will hear them and sometimes it want. My buddy's settings on his nox is 22 on sensitivity... 5 recovery speed...all metal...50 tones. The pictures below are rings I found on beaches where there are 3-5 guys hunting with Equinox's. I had my D2 since February.....

No effect on depth as of now.

On the new v7 update for the D2 watch out how much bottle cap filter is used. 4 and 5 will make gold rings sound like iron or make them sound horrible. After each update I always test my machines with a piece of Zeiss glasses wipe foil. This time like no difference did the same. Did the update to v7 then reprogram all my beach programs. Then did my test always start with the foil wrap first. Got a iron tone and ID of 04. I was like this is not good. So ok what happened?? I went back in changed the bottle caps to 0 and took the foil went back over the coil sounds great and a ID in the 30's. So finally I changed the bottle cap rejection to a 3 and still able to get the foil wrap at a very nice sounding tone. 4 forget it!!!! Sounds horrible!!! 5 sounds like iron!!! So went into my wife's jewelry box got all her gold rings I have find over the years. All of the diamond rings sounds horrible on 4/5 bottle cap rejection. On a 3 sounds great!!! The larger gold rings no real issues but diamond rings yes set back the reject to a 3.
