Skull diver Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I can say Just a couple things on this machine. Unluckily the time I had to understand settings and manage to use It well, was too short... I found almost all of the programs plenty of tons options and being a diver, I'd maybe never use a third of what this detector can do in other locations. For sure, maybe for the first time, I enjoyed on the Deus2 the freedom to fine tune the machine like I wanted for. After 8 years with a Ctx I still can't find a way to be sure of the famous full spectrum at work. If I remove the seawater filter in the water Is crazy noisy unless detuning sensitivity, If I set a manual noise cancel channel higher to the 10/11 I see minimum difference on the tiny objects conduct. The depth Is stupidly low under sens 20 and way too noisy over 24. Auto+3 doesn't change so much. Silent? Blind.... The 6" coil seems to be the only way to open an opportunity window, but useful only when the ground zero Is open for service. The ground balance Is a blind operations among the auto and the manual, without ground phase shown, without to know what the hell it happens after doing It causing even more false signals. So...I mentioned a Minelab masterpiece for the Age, before the Nox went, steep price stable even today..For what? Today I don't give a dam if a shaft I don't like Is bad, if a cable on It Is worst than usual coil cables and even don't think about a flying remote. I still think about half of the price on the Xp compared with ML and the fact that big gold disappeared a lot in a decade. So new tools with high frequency, possibly usable underwater are a gamechanger on thin gold. I'm sure there's tons of tiny invisible targets in my usual hunted gulf. I had proof the last summer, only when on a rock covered bottom I found two bracelets where million of times I've been without a signal. Old stuff, not fresh drops. I'm not the best in the area, I'm not so lucky to hunt at the right time cause I'm forced to work partially and the Sea doesn't wait... No instrument had been able to hear an open chuncky piece and a thin Ricci One... Clearly, I found It only cause of less sand than ever. Even a Child snorkeling and playing with rocks can do It... So I want to go downthere and find what's uncovered by others (included me)... At a certain point, I can trade some defects, but no way I'd be unhappy if the tool works like i want It. My 252 cents....? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also what I was looking for in the Deus II as a scuba detector, using a non-PI detector with accurate target IDs (and which was stable in seawater and waterproof).. So far I've found it a very handy tool for the job.. ? Thanks again for your knowledge and advice, it's all taken onboard.. Your PMs have helped me understand the tones and sound settings of the Deus II much better than I could ever learn from the manual.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad You're confirming my toughts on settings... By the way I'm still waiting for my unit without a minimum idea of the arrival. I tested one of the really first batch machine owned by a man from abroad, but really touched the hearth of It within minutes...Now I miss the seabed with It to check if I'm right... However, the GB option in manual Is unavailable in beach sens...I believe You're forced to use grab... You can Always use a General matrix to modify what I said. Good luck Brother. Gold in mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used GB underwater, the Deus's salt settings seem to do the job instead.. the salt settings are available in the diving and beach modes.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Is exactly what I want to know notching a precise interference with GB, instead of removing with disc a middle area where foil can fall... We'll see? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cell phones have had "accessibility" options like this for a decade. They already have the option to select between the "standard" display and the X-Y screen as your default screen for any given mode so adding a third "TID no frills" screen as a third option seems trivial. Heck, on my watch you can edit and customize the layout of the displayed screen information to your heart's content. Adding a similar screen customization feature using the already developed screen information component icons, again, is somewhat trivial from a programming perspective, and would really set Deus 2 apart. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
