☠ Cipher Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 All I need to hear is that Deus 2 is every bit the Deus 1 as Deus 1. I’m looking for that advantage in iron, and whether their multifrequency stacks up would just be a bonus. If Deus 2 somehow misses the operating characteristics of Deus 1 while trying to capture what the Equinox brought to the table then I’m out and looking for a Deus 1. I have a pair of bone phones btw. I bought them for $5 at a lawn sale. They work awesome and you can still hear your surroundings. I don’t like headphones and never wear them unless I have to. Bone phones are the closest I can come to not using headphones if I have to wear something to be silent. I can’t begrudge you for changing your mind on the purchase either. I can’t guarantee that I won’t within the next hours or days buy one or both new machines myself. I talk myself into and out of it so often I can’t know what tomorrow brings. I love my tech toys and metal detectors are no exception. Deus 2 seems to bring much more to the table than Legend. I’m just not in the market for a bargain detector anymore, particularly a duplicate of one I already own and comfortable with. I want the top tier from here out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wonder how bone headphones are when you have some hearing loss. I wear a hearing aid but I don't need it with headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobill Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Got my pre-order in, can't wait to use the new Deus II with new audio and waterproof bonephones!? Bill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calabash digger Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I cannot wait to try them on a dive ...I looked at some review videos of some on youtube and the guys were saying you could HEAR them great underwater. Only concern I have is how I am going to fit them under my hood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now convinced on a risky step that I was waiting since Years. I can't wait to check programs 10/11/12 and mono + salt sens to finally find the key downthere... This machine sounds to me like the final result of a Ctx with a third of waterproof conduct by an Excal...Possibly with more depth and stability and finally able to hear chains in saltwater ...(At least I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdv Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'm really liking what I've seen so far in the videos however, reading in the manual about underwater use I read one thing that has me concerned....you attach the antenna with an elastic band to the coil.....how long is that band going to last while scrubbing the coil on the sand/rock bottom? Since I've never even touched a Deus, I'll let the users of that system chime in. Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When diving, You're perfectly right talking about scrubbing and damages near the corner. I'm curious to know what's the distance tolered for a good connection among coil and antenna and I'm already thinking to a straight shaft with the antenna hihed inside the tube, barely appearing near the coil's ears and the bolt.

dewcon4414 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Im kind of with you on the wait and see for it’s use in the salt water. Not certain how that antenna will work. It appears to clip on the box .. and the piece that holds the box to the shaft…. Will it hold up to the real wear and tear of serious water hunters in waves, long shore current, and taking it all apart? It obviously is worth watching. Does it have a salt balance like the MDT to adjust for minerals at various depth? I’ve never owned a Deus so I want to hear more from guys who get it wet. The warranty says …. Trust me it’s been tested well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
