I’m a fan of the sensitivity allowance of the MI6 on the D2. I also run it full and do find that it rings in some of my local soils, but remember that if you turn it on in a clean pile of the same soil it balances itself.

I never really broke it down before, but I guess I spend a couple hours per acre on initial searches to get an idea of what’s there. If I find anything of interest, I stay till my wife calls and says it’s time to go home.

I’ve been using the 11 since I got the machine way back when and just got a 9” today. Wow what a difference in the swing! Now I can’t decide if I should sell the 11 to get the 11x13 or not. I like a notable size difference in my coil choices on hand.

Thanks

So the small Apple Watch screen is the same size or does it fit close enough

Well said. Park is an intriguing program to say the least. The wide open approach seams to produce pretty good sounding false signals in bent or large iron in my dirt. Deep HC run the same way also falses quite a bit, but larger iron at least is more audibly apparent. Park is an interesting creature. Maybe it’s the frequency range, maybe it’s the program processes? Either way, it’s clearly worth spending a bit more time on.

I’d still like to see a computer interface that would allow importing, exporting, and customizing programs. Sure it’s easy enough to do on the control unit, but it would be great to have the ability to come back from the field and either revert back to a custom program or store a new variant. Even more, it would be great if program settings could be migrated through a utility from an older machine version to the latest one.

I think some well managed filter parameters could have benefit in some instances, even for an experienced person on the machine. But I still remain a fan of running no user controllable filters.

I’m guilty of setting filter settings of programs to their zero point with the thought that the filters may hide a target, but I may need to start letting the machine do a little more work now and then😀

Thanks guys this is interesting. Park is a program that seems to take a back seat to the sensitives and deep HC for general hunting and discussions.

Has anyone found the current park program ,or it as a base for a custom program, to be at all better in a detecting location? I’ve experimented with it constantly in various scenarios and have not really come to a conclusion on it yet. I’d like to hear your opinions.

I run a couple custom programs (fast and deep HC) with full tones as my primary search modes. However I also have similar programs next to them set to Pitch for the purpose of verifying an iffy full tone signal. I love the tone variation/modulation both tone choices provide on odd shaped objects or large iron, but have found that a higher reactivity (3+) in full tones will make an iron false much crisper and sound more like a good nonferrous target. I try to keep my ft programs at 2.5 or less. Pitch seems to still give a decent tone modulation with higher reactivities. Just my experience and thoughts

I’m guessing he we’ll see an XP video demonstrating/explaining the new update a while before it’s released to us. I was one of those guys that pre-ordered the D2, so I’m pretty used to being patient with this machine. Can’t complain much at all about the current version! But there are a few legitimate things that have been hashed out here and elsewhere that should be addressed, and I’m quite sure they will be Until then, I’ll keep swinging the current version with a great deal of confidence

Incredible achievement! Congratulations

My wife is certain that the best detector is the first one I spent too much money on.

I’m not retired yet and have to be at work at 5 am tomorrow 😀. I have some thoughts and questions I’ll post tomorrow on the current D2 full tones vs pitch. Looking forward to the thoughts and experiences from others

I’ve loaned out my equinox and primarily use my Deus 2 with the 11”, except it n the water where I pick the simplex with the small elliptical because it’s just easier for that situation. where I am in western pa, the sites are thick with brush and loaded with small and large iron, and coke (and ticks). We don’t have natural “hot ground” but the old rail beds, iron furnace charcoal sites, and coal heated homesteads make for a challenge for sure I won’t disparage any detector, but I will say that the deus 2 has indeed increased my finds on these sites. Looking forward to new versions of the D2 and looking forward to trying other new detectors as money allows.

No I left last year at some point. I’ve been lurking here since then and see that you’re still a respected and experienced contributor. Looking forward to your input on some of my thoughts and experiences

Hello all. I was formerly here as Dug, but had to sign off for a bit. Back now and ready to re-enter the conversations. I’ve been keeping up on things here and you guys/gals are still the same knowledgeable and kind folks I remember. Looking forward to future conversations (mainly on the deus 2😀).
