Rob Allison Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hey Steve and the forum, The XP's are great detectors. Many are waiting for the new coil. Some great finds with the XP popping up. Probably one of the best detectors to use in highly trashy areas. Congrats to the finder. I would love to find a gold coin at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This detectors ability to find small high conductors in iron litterd sites is why its taking market share in England/Euro where the cut hammered coins and tiny gold and silvers are highly sought after.

Looks like coil size rules on deeper/smaller targets That was the 9" coil on the Deus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Another big factor is the weight. I have been frequenting a lot of UK forums lately. In the UK basically target id does not matter much. Valuable items can fall anywhere on the discrimination scale, often in the range U.S. hunters would call trash. All you need is the ability to hit non-ferrous items well, and the DEUS does that. The real kicker though is the weight. Post after post can be found by people who ditch heavier detectors for the DEUS because of the weight. A lot of detectorists are older and many not in the best shape. Weight really does matter, and at 2 lbs the DEUS is what a lot of these people need regardless of anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1515Art Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Having never held the DEUS Im only guessing, but it seems to also have the advantage of being the least obvious detector to pack around in the car or truck and transport around to the various hunt locations. in the interest of being as invisible as possible and leaving no impact on the environment are casual observers less likely to be offended by someone carrying the DEUS around in a city park?

Steve Herschbach Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I always advise hunting urban areas as much as possible when nobody is around. It pays to stay as invisible as possible and so I hunt at oddball times or in bad weather. Having gear that does not attract attention is a good idea also. For those that want to walk or ride a bicycle to nearby locations having a machine that easily folds and fits into a day pack is also very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (Ca) Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The finder (Ray) from back east, also dug an 1836 Bust 1/2 dime a few years back. He had just purchased my Vista Gold and scores the Bust 1/2 dime the same week, believe that was his first career Bust Coin back then. Was glad to see him dig up another first with the Gold dollar Coin, he deserves it great guy! Congrats to him! Paul Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
