Reason I say that is because I have a close friend who is a dealer and offered me a good price. Kind of leery of paying less just incase something with the warranty should come up.. Very reputable dealer. I've bought several detectors from him as well as connecting some buddies with him. He is a sponsor on several other forums. BTW, the D2 did arrive today. I haven't even removed the wrapping from the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in buying it if you live in the States, I'm here on the Northern California coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I haven't commented on the Deus 2, never held one and nothing against them or XP but out of curiosity did you try manually ground balancing the machine? I have 2 machines that have Salt Modes, one is a SMF other is just s MF. The SMF has the Multi Salt and though it works absulutely excellent in the wet sand I found that the sand is not always true beach sand and the ground balancing can be off ie greater than 25 even in the wet in places as they tend to truck it in to fill the beaches. That particular machine will struggle with ground balancing because it has a mixed ground phase. The MF I don't use the beach mode but rather just manually ground balance it and I can run that just about anywheres with the exception of patches of black sand that gives all the machines fits. Not to critisize the Deus or it's salt mode but there is a chance the sand is not natural and could be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching videos and reading the manual for as long as they've been out. Since I mostly beach hunt I was very careful not to null out those signals. In fairness I've never had a Deus 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your buddy think about the Deus 2, is he returning it also? My first couple runs with the Nox were disappointing. It's now my second favorite detector... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did remover the paper from the box so I could see the box. LOL. However, I didn't open the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You'll have no trouble selling it for zero loss even if you break the seal. It's not a detector you can get the feel of after one run even pouring through the manual and watching you tube, especially if you're used to the Nox and haven't used a Deus before. Take this from soneone who teaches Deus bootcamp classes with Andy Sabisch. But if it just doesn't feel right, you can sell and nothing says you can't get another one down the road for the same price or even lower if folks who don't click with it sell theirs at a discount. Plus it gives you spare cash to give the Legend a spin. You're really in a no lose situation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
