I have a phone mount that was designed for bicycles that should work.  I haven't got a rugged enough case for my phone to do that, though.

This isn't it exactly, but its close enough to give you the idea (not an ad, nor necessarily a recommendation... just communicating an idea):

That just might be the ticket!

It also looks like you can only use metric, imperial is not an option.

Here is a pic of what it looked like, a lot of these are false positives

Not as yet for me, but I only used it for about 3 hours. Bluetooth is low energy draw, I'm hoping the drain is minimal. However, keeping the phone hot is gonna hurt, I recommend a PD battery for that. 🤔

I agree it wasn’t too bad on the battery on the phone or the Deus remote or coil. Now I just have see how I can mount the phone. 😆

I tried using it for a while yesterday and it went WAYYYYY overboard on recording targets!  I had it on Auto mode because I don't want to be pulling my phone out of my pocket to confirm every target, but if there isn't some way to tame this down, there is no way I'm going to be using it. 

I found it is very chatty too. I was in an area with a lot of emi

I'm particularly interested in the "on the fly" function of being able to draw a box and detect that area with notifications when you go outside what you mapped.

Cell service and mobile Internet are not that great in my area, despite having the service that is most present. GPS is often pretty far off here due to all the military testing. I'll be testing it soon.

I agree I have been using CalTopo and maprica. It would be great if you could add historical map overlays. CalTopo does a really great job with that

You can create a new account and try it for free - with different e-mail.

They have another bug in their system. I created an account when updating Deus to V2. I have never installed this application before, so my trial period couldn't have expired. They released it Yesterday, don't they?

Good to know!  It looks like this was a slow roll out deployment.  There were lots of videos from other parts of the world talking about it at various times within the past month or so. Some made it sound like it may have been prematurely rolled out. I am willing to roll with need updates.  I am an apple user so it will tie into the phone and iPad nicely!

I got the same message that my free trial had expired. 🤔 10 bucks a year seems reasonable to me but i would have liked to try it first for free.

I would have liked to try it for free also but as a tech the temptation got the best of me!  I went ahead and signed up for the premium. 

Just signed up for the premium edition for $9.99 a year.  Looks like it will be a nice addition to the deus 2!

I just downloaded it.  It is saying my free subscription has expired and I am being offered memberships.  Did y’all just sign up for the premium membership?  I am guessing that it is $9 a year?
 

Who knows are this point…probably true 😆

That doesn't look like a Deus to me.. ?

Good observation, here is the other photo he had

This was already posted by phrunt!  I should have checked first!

I was amazed by the depths of some of my finds, to the point that people walking by would stop after I was 2-3 scoops down to see what I was doing.  I am picking up on the tones but still learning the language. It would be interesting to see if someone did videos of dig or not dig by tones, then see what they were after.  Some of the tones and trills have caught me, but curiosity kills me, so I dig some items either way.  

This was interesting Gary Blackwell did a video going over tone and if to dig or not.  It was really good.

Thanks for the reminder... it is done.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post that. That is awesome.

Welcome to the forum, and hello from the rural counties to the north. 🙂

I switched from my Equinox 600 (probably got them both at the same place you did if you bought them at a store 😏) to the Deus 2 last year. It took me a long time to get used to it and learn the different settings, but I've managed to get it working in such a far superior manner to the 600 that I only use the Equinox to hunt difficult spots that the Deus coils are too big for, I have all 3. After such great experiences with the Coiltek 10x5 I am hoping XP will add such an elliptical to the D2 lineup, and I'll probably cough up the $400 ransom for it. 😵

From reading your posts it looks like you are doing all the right stuff, what coil do you have?

Additionally, after a while you should be able to decide your audio preference on the Deus, those who had the Deus 1 typically prefer pitch and PWM audio, I'm a fan of full tones and now the new High Square with full tones. I don't look at the screen much, and don't use a small tone range, I run it wide open.

Unlike the Equinox the Deus is all about audio, the nuances are important. I use the XY screen because it stuffs the ID up in a corner so I can always see it, there are glare complaints about the screen. You can use the big id screen but you lose a lot of other useful info.

Shame you're leaving Topsail today, I've tweaked out a program that really "hoovers" up the finds on the beach, check out my recent posts and see the trash to finds ratio 😏. I'm headed to Emerald Isle Sunday after next with confidence. I was at Myrtle Beach in the spring, and many finds were 4 or more scoops deep. 😀 It got so I scooped at least 4 times before I used the MI-6.

Relic season is done here, but I can't wait to get back to it when the crops are reaped in the fall, I have lots of permissions and some are so big I haven't had time to search them completely. Many places date to the early 1600s. It's a lot of walking but the soil is mild with few rocks. Some would say I'm very fortunate, I agree. I'm also pretty good at getting new permissions.

I use the 13" coil primarily, I love the 9" but have to swing it too much. I never gelled with the 11' but it's there as a backup. I bought it and then got the 13" a couple of weeks later, thought they would never get it to market.

Toss us a bit more info about what you have for hardware, what you like to look for and where. Sounds like you're like me. The Deus is king in Virginia hands down. I'll get in touch with ya with some programs but learning the Deus is key, if you jump right in with tried and true settings from others you'll never understand why they work so well. 🙂

Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it! I am running an 11 inch coil on the Deus 2. I purchase both of my machines online from Big Boys Hobbies.  I had a positive experience with both purchases, and he was very competitive on the prices.   I use full tones in the new high square audio and run full range on the Deus 2 and also use the XY screen. It is great in  determining whether to go with or pass up a target.  I wish you luck down at Emerald Isle. And yes, it is amazing how deep how many scoops down some of these targets are. 

To be completely honest, I have not taken the equinox 800 out that much since getting the Deus two. The deus has been my go to.  My equinox 800 has the 11 inch coil and the 6 inch coil and I have carbon fiber shafts for the equinox. I also have a Garrett carrot as an original pointer.  While using the equinox 800 I bought an M I6 and that’s what got me thinking about getting the deus.  The M I six seem to even outperform the Garrett carrot in pinpointing. For a small digging tool I have a lesche hand shovel and a piranha shovel for deeper digging. Look forward to any tips, updates and help that you guys have I really appreciate it!

Geologyhound,

Thanks for the welcome.  I went ahead and downloaded the spreadsheet it is really handy to have it. I will check with F350Platinum for his relic reaper program.  Looking forward to getting updated on the new 1.1 beach setting. I really appreciate you taking the time to share the information with me!

Hello, I am from Richmond, VA and have just started learning the Deus 2. I picked it up back in March 2023. I was using an equinox 800 during Covid and pick up the mi6 pointer and decided to go with a Deus 2. I still have the equinox but mainly swing the Deus. For some reason I have had more luck with my Deus. If you have any tips or spreadsheets for programming for beach or relic hunting I am game.  The family and I have been on vacation this week at Topsail, NC so I have had time on the beach which has been great, we head back tomorrow. I am amazed at the number of fully buried aluminum cans I found, they were  in the high 80s- 90 range.  I did find 2 rings, one plated and the other might be gold both rang around 80.  I did find lots of clad coins.  Love this forum and just reading picking up the knowledge.
